Abstract

“How can port resilience in archipelagos be evaluated—and what lessons emerge?” This dissertation develops a novel method to evaluate port resilience by integrating the existing theories with real-world challenges. Through a multiphase mixed-method approach, three case studies were carried out: Pantoloan Port (2018 Sulawesi Earthquake & Tsunami), Seba Port (2021 Cyclone Seroja), and Mamuju Port (2021 Majene Earthquake). The results provide actionable recommendations to enhance port infrastructure, operations, and recovery—demonstrating the method’s usefulness for policymakers and port operators in vulnerable archipelago regions.
