In-Hum Baek, Seong-Hyeok Moon

Abstract

This study aims to suggest how the port specialists think the priority of port development in Korea. To illustrate the ideas regarding a port development, 87 detailed attributes were identified both from the previous studies and from brainstorming on port professionals. And these were grouped into 6 criteria by ‘KJ method’ and made into 4 levels hierarchy structure. AHP technique identifies the relative weights of each levels, trends of the preference of port specialists and the composite relative weights of alternatives. As a result, a port development priority in Korea has been proposed.
