“…Adaptation to climate change is essential for long-term port management, given the expected increase in extreme precipitation events. Implementing resilient strategies, improving hydrological forecasting and monitoring, and strengthening port infrastructures are vital to ensuring sustainable operations by mitigating adverse effects on port activities and nearby ecosystems [46][47][48].…”

The chapter evaluates the importance of integrated hydrosedimentological modeling in improving port resilience and environmental decision-making under the context of climate change, using the Paraíba do Sul River, Brazil, as a case study. It highlights the use of advanced predictive modeling, such as SWAT and SisBaHiA, in addressing the challenges posed by extreme climatic events on port operations and water resource management. The research emphasizes the need for tools to anticipate and adapt to adverse impacts, integrating remote sensing technologies and GIS for precise environmental monitoring. The goal is to promote informed decision-making for the sustainable management of water resources, mitigating erosion and sedimentation and adapting port operations to climate change.

The Impacts of Traditional Ecological Knowledge towards Indigenous Peoples: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Indigenous peoples are groups with different cultural and social characteristics that share inherited ties to their homeland and natural resources. They have their own understanding and cultural experience that amounts to traditional ecological knowledge. The aim of this study is to identify the impacts of traditional ecological knowledge on indigenous people. Two main databases, namely Web of Science and Scopus, were used to conduct a systematic literature review. From the findings and analysis, two themes and eleven sub-themes were identified. The first theme is economic activities, including six sub-themes: sources of income, employment opportunities, offering products to vendors or buyers, providing market value, providing low treatment cost, and providing opportunities to develop micro-enterprises. The second theme is health, with five sub-themes: supporting food security, harvesting country food, food or plant benefits, perceived health or medicinal purposes, and livelihoods of the indigenous people. In conclusion, traditional knowledge can play an important role in contributing to the livelihoods of indigenous people. In general, traditional knowledge can help indigenous people to improve their quality of life, especially those who rely on natural resources to survive, by offering secure and supplemented food, for instance, as well as a source of earnings, crucial for food security during hard times. Additionally, traditional knowledge of wild edible and medicinal plants can play a significant role in a community’s capacity to remain resilient and be preserved for future generations.

“…In general, ports are located in the vicinity of a sea, ocean or river via a waterway connection and are regarded as entities that have at their disposal the infrastructure and technological equipment required to manipulate a specialized cargo type (Devendran et al, 2021). The inland component has become essential in shaping the competitive strategies of seaports.…”

Comparative Analysis of Dry Port Operations in Coastal and Landlocked Countries

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Malaysia is a coastal country surrounded by sea, while Nepal is a landlocked country with no direct access to the ocean. This paper investigates the challenges faced by dry ports in Malaysia and Nepal and looks into issues concerning the connection of seaports and dry ports both intra-regionally, i.e. within Malaysia, and inter-regionally, i.e. outside of Nepal. The structure of dry port operating systems in these two areas is visibly different. Hence, the relationships between the major nodes in these different geographical regions need to be examined. Face-to-face and telephone interviews with dry port operators, legislative personnel, and public policy stakeholders from both countries were conducted to establish the impediments to dry port operations. Interview session transcripts have been analyzed using grounded theory. This tool is suitable for this paper due to its capacity to identify categories and concepts within the text linked together to form theoretical models. Secondary data have been used to support the primary data collected, to enhance the range and reliability of the findings. The findings indicate challenges such as inadequate connectivity capacity, inefficient border transactions, seaport-dry port integration issues, inefficient economic corridors, insufficient legislative framework for policy and regulation development, and environmental issues faced by the two countries. These challenges have a negative impact on the possibility of dry ports in Malaysia to take full advantage of their potential. Meanwhile, in Nepal, such challenges limit dry port operations since dry ports are the main gateway for the nation’s international trade. This paper recommends strategies for overcoming these challenges and improving the quality of dry port operations, focusing on the provision of sophisticated and modern logistics services to stakeholders in the different geographic landscapes.
