“…Japan has developed an original solution by building airports on man-made islands (Nijkamp and Yim, 2001), Osaka Bay (Kansai International and Kobe Airport) or Nagoya (Centrair Airport). Planes can operate 24/24 without obstacles or awakening the nearby population in the middle of the night.…”

Airports, as nodes in world transport networks, have been studied mostly in their role as hubs in the spatial strategies of airlines. This paper examines the role of airports as engines of growth in their local surroundings and the complexity of the spatial system of the airport at the local and regional scale. It studies how to ensure an efcient movement of planes of the airside and an efcient access point to airports on the landside while taking into account the interests of people living next to airports, who are heavily impacted the noise generated by aircraft, as well as considering where should new airports be built.

“…The pentagon approach has been applied in several policy studies during recent decades, in order to assess the critical success/ failure factors of a policy (see, e.g. Nijkamp et al, 1994;Nijkamp and Pepping, 1998;Capello et al, 1999;Nijkamp and Yim, 2001;Nijkamp, 2008). Intrinsically, this model aims to map out, in a structured manner, the various forces that represent the critical factors that are essential contributors to the performance of a given policy (Nijkamp and Pepping, 1998).…”

This study attempts to formulate a conceptual and operational model that encapsulates the highlights of scientific sustainability research, and that identifies the critical success factors of sustainable development from the perspective of different stakeholder groups. It seeks to identify viable consensus pathways in sustainable development strategies that are marked by conflicts among different stakeholders. In order to do so, this study focusses on three case studies that are part of the EU-project SMILE, their way of sustainability thinking and their stakeholders, in order to encapsulate different sustainability approaches and different needs for sustainable development. To identify critical success/failure factors in the search for sustainable development at the interface of economic, environmental and social factors, we use interview results, first, to compose case-study-specific pentagon models. These models offer a systematic framework for sustainability and, in general, distinguish between five key forces, viz. software (e.g. knowledge), hardware (e.g. research facilities), finware (e.g. financial support), ecoware (e.g. environmental amenities) and orgware (e.g. institutional support systems). In a second step, we use both the questionnaire results and a multi-criteria spider approach to quantify the relative importance of the pentagon factors for each stakeholder group. This way we are able to develop stakeholder-specific pentagon models. Although there are many applications of the basic pentagon model in the sustainability literature, our attempt can be seen as the first one that combines cases at different time and spatial scales to generalize the interfaces between scientific research and policy arenas.Keywords: Sustainable development, systemic approach, pentagon model, stakeholder, spider model Acknowledgement: This study is an outcome of the EU-project SMILE.

“…Several studies in the existing literature have presented a cross-sectional snapshot analysis across major Asian airports to assess and identify important factors contributing to airport competitiveness. Park (2003) looked at service, demand, managerial, facility and spatial qualities, whilst Nijkamp & Yim (2001) studied the physical, technological, organizational, financial, ecological aspects in an airport. Ohashi et al (2005) focused primarily on air cargo transshipment airports and examined the monetary and time cost factors.…”

This paper examines the effects of primary production and key economic factors on air cargo traffic between 1999 and 2005 in the East Asian airport industry through econometric and clustering analyses. This paper’s findings show that while the relative importance of physical capital to human capital has dramatically risen, adequate provisions and utilizations of physical facilities for landside operations appear to be a more significant driving force for an airport’s cargo traffic performances compared to those of airside operations. Even though cost savings are found to have regained their importance in the recent years, the degree of scale economies has fallen so sharply that airports can no longer rely on size for competitive edge. Nevertheless, there is still a close positive relationship between a nation’s economic development and the volume of cargo traffic at its airport.
