- How do sustainable port practices infuence local communities’ perceptions of ports?Publication . Felício, J.; Batista, M.; Dooms, M.; Caldeirinha, V.The symbiotic relationship between ports and cities in spatial, social, and cultural terms is fundamental in tackling new transport, urban, and environmental challenges. A positive perception of port clusters within local communities is increasingly becoming a source of competitive advantage for the further development of port clusters and regions. This research examines how the economic, social, and environmental practices of port-managing bodies influence such perceptions and ensure the sustainable development of port clusters and regions. We define sustainable port practices and measure their impact on perceptions of ports. We apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to data from 256 survey responses. The results confirm the importance of sustainable port practices in influencing perceptions. Communication with local communities; the participation of the latter in port management; and investment by the port in local development are key sustainable port practices. The study also confirms the moderating influence of the characteristics of the port region and port cluster.
- Living Lab Benefits for Evidence Based Education and Open innovation the eShip case studyPublication . Batista, M.; Chkoniya, V.; Gonçalves, F. C.As society changes rapidly, there is a need to educate professionals who contribute to innovation and complex adaptations in organizations, and Living Labs are recognized as educational environments to prepare students in higher e 2021). There is a trinomial relationship between Academy, Society, and Industries, which are interestingly far more exploited than the Education and Research. Effective management of the knowledge and information transferred between open innovation ecosystem partners is crucial -life setting, co-creation, active user involvement, multi-stakeholder participation, and a multi-method approach (ENoLL, 2022). world we live in, and scholars belonging to a wide variety of academic disciplines are investigating the opportunities deriving from such a revolution. The scientific development of both concepts is an active field in the academic community, and new ideas appear, opening new paths of knowledge transfer methods with knowledge from data. And Living Labs can be used as adaptable platforms where researchers and practitioners collaborate to carry out evidence-based research and innovation on educational processes (Montero & Krawczyk, 2021). The success of Open Innovation in enhancing innovation development has resulted in public authorities incentivizing firms to adopt the paradigm through public subsidies for research and development activities (Bigliardi, Ferraro, Filippelli, & Galati, 2021). As a leading institution in the training of professionals linked to the maritime a D. Henrique (ENIDH) is involved in the eShip project, supported by the EEA Grants. Thus embodying its role as a promoter of technological and digital progress in the sector. The eShip project aims to digitize the vessel chartering process, thereby cutting management costs and fueling the digital transition. The primary objective of the eShip project is to develop a digitalization model for the entire chartering process, from the market research stage to the completion of the trip, including freight negotiation and contracting, real-time trip analysis, overage calculations. /sub-stay, issuance of shipping and billing documents, post-trip analysis, and regulatory compliance. This electronic platform will be tested in two pilot projects using an innovative approach in technological and pedagogical terms, through Living Labs, focusing on the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market, which is located in evident rise, and Solid Bulk (Kyas, Springer, Pedersen, & Chkoniya, 2021). Using the eShip Case Study, this paper demonstrates that Experience-Based Expertise and Open Innovation must be understood as a single process, where Living Labs that involve Academies and Enterprises create unique conditions for society's progress.
- Perceção das Comunidades Locais Sobre Práticas Portuárias Sustentáveis.Publication . Caldeirinha, V.; Batista, M.; Felício, J.; Dooms, M.A percepção positiva do cluster portuário pelas comunidades locais é uma vantagem competitiva e facilita a licença social de operação e expansão do porto. Pretendemos compreender as práticas econômicas, sociais e ambientais dos gestores portuários que influenciam a percepção das comunidades locais e asseguram o desenvolvimento sustentável do cluster portuário. Definimos as práticas portuárias sustentáveis, medimos o seu impacto na percepção das comunidades locais e verificamos a influência moderadora das características da região e do cluster portuário. Utiliza-se o inquérito enviado aos stakeholders portuários e cidadãos portugueses. Uma amostra de 262 respostas suporta a metodologia com base no modelo de equações estruturais (SEM). Os resultados indicam a importância das práticas portuárias de controle do impacto do porto na região, comunicação do porto com a região, participação da região na gestão do porto e investimento portuário no desenvolvimento da região na influência da percepção das comunidades locais.
