SELECTING APPROPRIATE INDICATORS TO MEASURE HAIPHONG PORT SUSTAINABILITY USING DELPHI METHOD

Abstract

Nowadays, sustainable development is the common development goal that many seaports aim at. Many major seaports in the world have adopted their own sustainable development strategies. However, this concept is relatively new in many developing countries, including Vietnam. Therefore, in those countries, understanding the concept of sustainable development and selecting an appropriate set of indicators for sustainability measurement is crucial for building the strategy to achieve sustainable development. This paper proposes using the Delphi method to select suitable indicators for measuring port sustainability. This method is usually used to assist the decision-making process based on expert opinion. Hence, we can find the most suitable set of sustainability measurement indicators for Hai Phong seaport.
