The purpose of this study was to present an alternative to improve the complex structure of Gyeonggi port governance. Based on previous research, advanced port operation, timely development of port, port safety management, and growth with the region were selected as the main roles of port governance. In addition, the importance of each role was analyzed by selecting the government-led port authority and government and local joint port authority as alternatives.
