Abstract

The implicit assumption of port selection studies based on survey and respondents' perceptions is that the preference of the port selection attributes is proportional to the selection behavior. Further, the straight lines of the port selection attributes could also have non-linear properties. This study confirms nonlinear characteristics of selection attributes by using Kano model. The findings of this study showed that several properties of carriers were evaluated as nonlinear characteristics, such as the intermodal links and network accessibility, and size of port and terminal. Hence, port service providers such as port authorities and terminal operating companiesl, should construct a port operation strategy that reflects the non-linear port selection characteristics of shipping companies. Since this study aimed at exploring the forms of port selection characteristics, long-term additional verification studies on ports and stakeholders at domestics and abroad were needed. The Kano model and importance-selection analysis method used for analysis and strategy establishment also need to be improved to capture evident characteristics and to present strategic guidelines.

설문조사 및 응답자의 지각을 바탕으로 하는 항만선택연구의 암묵적인 가정은 항만선택속성들의 선호크기가 선택행위에 비례적이라는 것이다. 그러나 항만선택 속성들도 직선만이 아닌 비선형적 특성을 갖을 수 있다. 본 연구는 항만선택연구에 성격이 유사한 카노모형을 원용하여 항만선택속성의 비선형적 특성을 확인 하였다. 연구결과 선사의 항만선택속성들중 복합운송연계성과 항만규모 등이 당연특성으로 평가되는 등 여러 속성들이 비선형적 특성으로 평가되었다. 따라서 항만공사와 운영사 등의 항만 서비스제공자들은 선사들의 비선형적 항만선택특성을 반영한 항만운영전략을 구축해야 할 것이다. 본 연구가 항만선택 특성을 탐색적으로 분석하였기 때문에 추후 국내외 항만 및 이해당사자들을 대상으로 한 추가적인 검증연구가 필요하다. 또한 분석 및 전략수립에 활용한 카노모형 및 중요도 선택분석방법도 명확한 특성의 파악과 전략지침의 제시가 가능하도록 개선할 필요가 있다.
