Decision support for centralizing cargo at a Moroccan airport hub using stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis
2010
The geographical location of Morocco places it at the heart of important sea, air, rail and motorway transport routes between four continents. In this study we evaluate different alternatives to centralize multimodal cargo at a Moroccan airport hub. The choice depends on different socio-economical criteria, the geographical location, and the environmental impacts. Some of the criteria can be measured quantitatively, while for others only qualitative assessment is feasible. Furthermore, significant uncertainty is present in both the criteria measurements and the preferences. We aided this decision process using Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA). SMAA is a method that all…
Sustainability reporting and public value: Evidence from port authorities
2023
Due to the growing importance of Port Authorities (PAs) in pursuing economic, social, and environmental goals, scholars and policymakers should understand how these PAs can contribute to creating public value. By adopting the strategic triangle framework of public value, we studied how Italian PAs create public value by investigating their non-financial disclosures. For this purpose, we performed a cluster analysis and a lexical correspondence analysis on the textual content of the sustainability reports of eight Italian PAs. The study results allowed us to understand how PAs preserve and disseminate public value, obtain legitimacy and support from stakeholders, and build operational capaci…
Quali piani per i porti italiani? Ripresa (economica) e resilienza (del monadismo) nell’ultima disciplina della pianificazione portuale
2022
Il “Decreto Infrastrutture”, convertito in legge nel novembre 2021, ha modificato la disciplina dettata dall’art. 5 della legge n. 84/1994, introducendo meccanismi di semplificazione delle procedure di pianificazione portuale il cui scopo è garantire massima celerità alle decisioni concernenti l’infrastrutturazione dei sistemi portuali nazionali. Questa riforma del quadro normativo si traduce in un profondo ripensamento degli obiettivi originari della legislazione in materia: la coerenza interna della pianificazione portuale, il raccordo armonico tra quest’ultima e la pianificazione urbanistica, la ricerca di una sinergia tra la pianificazione dei sistemi portuali e la pianificazione dei tr…
The environmental information report in the annual accounts: An analysis of the main ports in Spain
2019
The aim of this work is to present the content analysis on the intelligibility of the environmental information that is reported in the annual accounts of the main Port Authorities in Spain. The annual accounts are related to documents that contain primarily financial information, and thus meet the needs of users (especially external users) in the decision-making process; in this sense, the work analyzes the environmental aspects presented in them. The data analyzed lead us to conclude that the Port Authorities of Castellón, Gijón and Valencia are the ones that provide the most information about their activities and environmental actions in their annual reports; however, with regard to the …
