“…AHP, proposed by Saaty [32], facilitates effective decision-making by systematically ranking several alternative or multi-criteria elements and comparing and analyzing their weights [32,33]. It is a decision-making method that systematically evaluates mutually exclusive alternatives to derive priorities [34,35]. This method is based on the principle that when a problem is complex and has multiple evaluation criteria, the human brain uses a stepwise or hierarchical analysis process for decision-making [36].…”

An increase in the number of electric vehicle (EV) waste batteries has driven the growth of the waste battery market. In the EV battery industry, South Korea has demonstrated excellent output in battery production but poor output in waste battery reuse and recycling. To determine appropriate waste battery use, primary governance actors should establish their role and lead the early stage of the industrial ecosystem. Herein, we elucidated the appropriate role of each circular governance actor in EV waste batteries using the South Korean case. We used the analytic hierarchy process, a semiquantitative method, and included 37 circular economy experts. For the first class, the firm is the most important actor in the circular governance of waste batteries, with a weight of 0.404, followed by the central (0.375) and local (0.221) governments. For the second class, the reuse industry (0.167) requires more attention than the recycling industry (0.133). Because many countries worldwide interested in the waste battery market have yet to begin the implementation stage, analyzing South Korea’s case can offer practical insights for countries aiming to expand their waste battery market with a clear policy orientation towards carbon neutrality or net-zero emissions and strong policy actor leadership.

“…The mechanism of the role of the hinterland economy on ports-hinterland demographic factors, economic structure, trade, and logistics accessibility-have a positive effect on port competitiveness, and the relationship between ports and hinterland economy varies significantly by region and size [18,[22][23][24]. Hinterland economic development can increase pollutant gas emissions from ports, and the implementation of emission reduction measures can significantly reduce port pollutant gas emissions [25]. The total economic volume and industrial structure can promote the green efficiency of ports, and the population density of the hinterland has a significant negative impact on the green development of ports [6].…”

“…The enhancement of the green competitiveness of ports promotes the gathering and optimization of hinterland industries [25,34,35]. On the one hand, the green infrastructure construction of ports drives the development and gathering of infrastructure manufacturing, engineering construction, electronic equipment, and other industries required for port construction, sound environmental protection, and clean energy infrastructure, promoting hinterland industries to adapt to the green development requirements of ports and form a reasonable resource utilization system and industrial layout.…”

Study on the Interaction between Green Competitiveness of Coastal Ports and Hinterland Economy

Accelerating the construction of green ports and promoting the green transformation of the economy and society are important trends in port and regional development today. This research explores the interaction between the green competitiveness of coastal ports and the hinterland economy from 2007 to 2019 by taking the 10 largest coastal ports in China as the research object and combining the Super-SBM Model with the panel data model. The results show that the green competitiveness of coastal ports is fluctuating, and the green competitiveness of Qingdao and Shanghai ports is stronger in the production frontier surface. Compared with the size of ports, the level of port technology is an important factor to improve the green competitiveness of ports. In terms of interaction, the total economic volume of the hinterland, the proportion of the added value of the tertiary industry, and the waterway transportation between the port and the hinterland have a significant positive impact on the green competitiveness of the port, and the improvement of the green competitiveness of the port and the waterway transportation between the port and the hinterland effectively drive the economic development of the hinterland. This study provides an important basis for the rational use of the port–hinterland interaction and promotes the coordinated and healthy development of both.

“…Environmental justice is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as treating all people equally, regardless of race, skin color, nationality, income, etc., in creating, implementing, and enforcing environmental laws, regulations, and policies. If environmental thresholds exist, the government should protect the environmental quality of all citizens, regardless of class or location 37 . Coastal protection policy can't be separated from MPA (Maritime Protection Area).…”

This research aimed to establish the legitimacy of protecting coastal residents from a social justice perspective. This was normative legal research conducted following cases, statutes, facts, and comparisons. The results of this study show how important it is to prioritize social equity for coastal protection. As natural calamities become more frequent, property protection becomes more difficult. Countries endowed with substantial financial and human resources can effectively tackle the challenges associated with climate change mitigation through the development and establishment of state-of-the-art scientific and technological infrastructure. In multicultural social justice, all individuals are valued. Priorities for environmental and social justice are prevalent in developing nations afflicted by coastal ecological degradation and widening income gaps. Developed nations like Germany have implemented and enforced coastal protection policies to uphold environmental justice principles. Second, the community-led governance initiatives generated genuine participation through mutual aid. Environmental law advances the cause of social justice. Environmental justice, which emphasizes the distribution of resources and the preservation of vulnerable groups, has emerged as the essence of justice in the ecological age.
