Abstract
Inter-port competition is fiercer than in the past because of technological evolution in transport systems : the increasing side of containerships implies only a few calls in three or four ports at each end of the trade and the rest of the traffic being served by smaller feederships. It is therefore essential for big ports to be selected as one of these calls by the main shipowners, consortia and alliances to avoid rmarginalisation. In order to compete effectively, many ports have been obliged to modernise and extend considerably its existing ports or to build new port facilities. With the advent of major environmental legislation around the world, however, amenities such as fish and wildlife, clean air and water, access to the waterfront, and view protection took on greater importance. Ports are now being forced to incorporate environmental considerations into their planning and management functions in order to avoid additional costs or timing delays. The aim of this paper is to analyse the port value by which port comparison(or selection) will be made with HFP(Hierarchical Fuzzy Process) method. This was done by extracting and grouping the evaluation factors of port value by port experts : facility and location factor, logistics service factor environment and amenity factor, city and economic factor, and human and system factor. For empirical test of this method, 6 major ports in Northeast Asia were chosen and analysed. The order of importance for five evaluation factors were 1) facility and location factor 2) logistics service factor 3) human and system factor, 4) city and economic factor, and 5) environment and amenity factor. This means that geographical location and logistics services are still being considered as the most important factor to call the port by port users. even though environment and amenity factor shows relatively low figure. Among 6 major ports, Port of Kobe was ranked the first position in a comprehensive evaluation, while Ports of Busan and Kwangyang were 4th and 5th respectively. This implies that Port of Busan should make much efforts to enhance the existing facilities as well as management system.
오늘날 세계 각국의 항만들 간에는 중심항만이 되기 위한 치열한 항만경쟁이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 경쟁력 확보를 위해 무엇보다도 항만시설을 확충을 통한 대폭적인 수용능력의 증대에 최선을 다하고 있으며 이러한 시설, 입지, 서비스 등 하드웨어적 측면이 항만경쟁력 평가요소로 중요시되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 선진해양국에서는 항만을 포함한 연안의 미래 잠재성을 인식하고, 이의 보전과 지속적인 개발을 위한 연안통합관리에 관심을 집중하고 있다. 또한 항만을 단순한 화물유통공간 뿐만 아니라 도시 및 시민여가공간으로 활용코자 하는 수요가 급증하고 있어 선진항만들은 친 수공간을 갖춘 환경친화적인 항만개발을 적극 추진하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 지금까지는 고려되지 않았지만, 앞으로는 기존의 항만경쟁력 평가요소 뿐만 아니라 환경이나 도시문제 등을 포함한 보다 폭 넓은 관점에서의 항만평가가 필요하다. 그러므로 이 논문에서는 항만의 모든 조건을 평가하기 위하여 경쟁력보다 포괄적인 가치개념을 도입하여 항만가치를 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 첫째, 항만가치의 평가요소를 조사하고, 이의 평가속성을 파악하고자 한다. 둘째, 이러한 항만가치 평가요소 및 평가속성을 이용하여 동북아시아의 6대 항만을 대상으로 항만가치를 평가·분석하고, 이를 토대로 우리나라 항만의 지속적인 발전방향을 제시한다.
