Multiple stakeholders with a wide range of objectives are engaged with a port system in many ways. Ports themselves are faced with many uncertainties in this volatile world. To meet port stakeholders’ objectives and deal with the uncertainties, adaptive port planning is increasingly
being called for and acknowledged. The planning process starts with defining success in terms of specific objectives of the stakeholders during the projected lifetime of the port. This chapter presents an integrated framework to reach a consensus on the definition of success involving stakeholders with different influences, stakes, and objectives. The framework synthesizes the problem structuring method with stakeholder analysis and combines this with fuzzy logic to support decision makers in formulating a definition of success in the port planning process. A systematic procedure for port stakeholder analysis, comprising identification and grouping of port stakeholders, static stakeholder mapping, and dynamic salience mapping was conducted. In this
chapter, values, and preferences of the stakeholders about the port planning were identified and
structured around the value-focused thinking method. There were 61 specific sub-objectives of
port planning disclosed as a result of 51 face-to-face interviews with all relevant stakeholders. To
define the fundamental objective, 8 means objectives were set by creating an appropriate harmony
between the sub-objectives. The result shows the leading role of internal stakeholders, such as port
authority, on the means objectives of port planning. The main result reveals a fundamental
objective that stands as the definition of success by prioritizing increase in competitiveness and
effective use of land in the adaptive port planning process for the port in question.
