“…In general, linear-rational evaluation methods are qualified as not suitable to provide balanced judgements for wicked problems, because they only fit the unambiguous contexts of tamed problems (Gharehgozli, Mileski, Adams, & Von Zharen, 2016;Head & Alford, 2015;Noordegraaf & Abma, 2003;Van Twist et al, 2015). These methods do not account for typical wicked problem challenges such as examination of multiple frames, conflicting goals, changing priorities, problematic attributions, uncertain solutions, constantly evolving problems and time and scale disconnects (Ford et al, 2013;Putansu, 2015).…”

The evaluation of policy strategies to tackle wicked policy problems inevitably involves a paradox of trying to judge solutions for problems that have no solutions and for which additional efforts might increase the chances of finding better responses. This paper analyzes how the concept of small wins can contribute to evaluating progress in wicked problem areas in a way that energizes a variety of stakeholders instead of paralyzing them and embraces complexity instead of reverting to taming and overestimation. It presents a small wins evaluation framework that is rooted in the underlying policy perspective of making progress through accumulating small wins. It comprises three steps: 1) identifying and valuing small wins; 2) analyzing whether the right propelling mechanisms are activated so as to accumulate into transformative change; 3) organizing that results feed back into the policy process to activate new small wins. This framework will inevitably clash with unrealistic expectations of addressing wicked problems rapidly, radically and comprehensively.

“…The process of developing national and regional space programs begins with the drafting of Space Policy, which are generally states, objectives, principles and guidelines for such programs. Public policies problems are generally categorized as wicked problems (Gharehgozli, Mileski, Adams, & von Zharen, 2017). They are difficult to be clearly defined since different stakeholders have a problem that is involved in the coordination of action, objectives, principles and guidelines for such programs.…”

The development of the Universe Defense System is aimed to produce strong deterrence both to be physically armed, to have high ability to defend the country, and to consciously arm him or herself psychologically by cultivating the values of the Pancasila ideology. The purpose of this study is to create a safe, comfortable, productive, effective, efficient, sustainable, and environmentally sound spatial structure based on trade, services and a national creative industry. This study uses qualitative methods with the theory of cooperation. The results of regional research will provide guidelines for the preparation of regional territorial arrangements, respectively, institutions guidelines, accountability, different ways of thinking, assessment so as to occur in the form of insufficiency; The conclusion obtained is that the implementation of regional governance policies relating to the unit title to protect Obvitnas in the capital city of Jakarta cannot be implemented properly. With blended learning technology that can use all existing media ranging from text, sound, images (moving images and still images) to animation, and videos, it can facilitate existing implementations

Port resiliency is the ability to resume normal operations at pre-disruptive performance levels after a disruptive adverse event and maintain normal operations and performance over a long period of disruptive adverse change (Gharehgozli et al, 2017) [11]. Although there is no generally accepted definition of PSSC resilience, there is consensus among many researchers that resilience is the common characteristic of efficient PSSCs with expected delivery capacity of container ports.…”

“…Specifically to PSSC resilience, Loh and Thai (2016) [12] introduced a portrelated supply chain disruptions management model that incorporated the application of risk management, business continuity management, and quality management theories with the purpose of increasing port resilience such that supply chain continuity was enhanced. Gharehgozli et al (2017) [11] proposed a conceptual framework for evaluating how ports currently strategized against potential risks and how they planned to ensure port resiliency. Zavitsas et al (2018) [13] considered the impact of Emission Control Areas and established a link between environmental and network resilience performance for maritime supply chains using operational cost and SOx emissions cost metrics.…”

Container ports are critical components of global port and shipping supply chain (PSSC) systems. Their handling operation resiliencies can affect their performance, along with those of the overall port and shipping supply chain. According to the characteristics of the container handling operations, this study establishes a modeling paradigm for quantifying the resilience of handling chain system (HCS) in container ports. Considering the nonnegative arrive rate and the container handling completion rate, with the upper limit in real container port environments, nonlinear links have been added into the model of the HCS. The resilience of the HCS was analyzed according to the different pole distributions of unsatisfied freight requirement transfer function. Simulation results show that the upper limit of the container handling completion rate has a significant impact on the resilience of the HCS. The contributions herein demonstrate a starting point in the development of a quantitative resilience decision making framework and mitigating the negative impacts for port authorities and other players in the PSSC.
