초록

지속가능성은 경제적, 사회적 그리고 환경적 이슈를 아우르는 광의의 개념으로 해석된다. 이 논문은 2013년 초 부산항에서 수행한 인터뷰를 기반으로 항만운영의 지속가능 활동을 개념화함으로써 국제항만 운영의 지속가능성 확보를 위한 전략적 의사결정을 돕고 또한 향후 관련 연구에 초석을 마련하고자 한다. 빈도 및 패턴 분석을 이용하여, 지속가능 활동은 환경친화적 기술, 지속적인 관리와 향상, 내적 성장, 대화와 협력 등을 포함하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 분석결과, 항만 및 항만관계자의 현재와 미래 요구사항을 수용할 수 있는 전략적/운영적 활동으로서의 지속가능 활동의 역할이 확인되었다. 지속가능 활동을 실천하는데 있어서 나타나는 장벽과 도전과제를 보여줌으로써, 연구결과는 항만이 지속가능 활동을 도입하고 실천하도록 하는 전략적 과제에 대한 유용한 정보을 제공한다.

Sustainability is a broad concept involving economic, social and environmental issues in operational and managerial processes. To assist ports to implant sustainability practices into their operations, this paper conceptualizes the structure of sustainability practice in port operations, based on interviews undertaken at Busan port in early 2013. Results revealed that, as a strategic practice to improve their internal business processes, sustainability practices necessitate the simultaneous pursuit of container traffic growth, low environmental impacts and corporate responsible image making, operational efficiency, efficiency of the use of the port area and sustainable growth. Through thematic analysis, the relevant practices were clustered into four sub-dimensions incorporating environmental technologies, continual monitoring and upgrading, internal process improvement, and cooperation and communication. Further, reporting the relevant issues such as barriers and challenges in carrying out sustainability practices, the findings provide useful insights for strategic agenda to assist ports to incorporate sustainability practices in their operations.
