port city, port characteristics, the awareness of maritime stakeholdersAbstract
A port city is a city that engages in port and maritime activities and also develops land and maritime economic activities. However, the concept or the tools to measure whether a seaport has achieved the criteria of port-city is still lacking. This paper aims to identify the port city measurement and to propose a novel framework for extending port city development as a tool to improve the maritime tourism sector. This paper adopted a traditional systematic literature review (SLR) with content analysis to code the outcome. The final results indicate that only seven articles validated outcomes from the Scopus database. Based on the global view outcome, there are only six main clusters and 27 sub-factors influencing the development of port cities. The six main clusters were: port characteristics; the awareness of maritime stakeholders, port intensity, vessel characteristics, information technology, and the government’s role. The new strategies could lead to a digitalization of decision-making methods in smart maritime tourism in port city development.
