REVIEW OF PORT INFRASTRUCTURE RESILIENCE WITH MATHEMATICAL MODELLING AND A BIBLIOMETRIC APPROACH

Abstract

This study reviews the resilience of port infrastructure using a mathematical modeling approach and bibliometric analysis. With the increasing threats of climate change and natural disasters, enhancing port infrastructure resilience is crucial for maintaining operational continuity. The bibliometric analysis, focusing on the keyword "Port Infrastructure Resilience," identifies trending and novel keywords for future research, including climate change, risk analysis, resilience, and port facilities. Data from the Scopus database (2014-2024) were analyzed using VOSviewer to map key research trends. Findings indicate that improving port infrastructure resilience to climate change and disasters requires a multidimensional approach, such as structural optimization, drainage improvements, and risk mitigation strategies. Current research trends emphasize sustainability and disaster impact reduction through advanced technology. Investing in monitoring technology and cross-sector strategic planning is essential to enhance port resilience. This study highlights the importance of technological innovation and stakeholder collaboration, recommending further exploration of digital technology adoption for optimizing port resilience. Relevant case studies for mathematical modeling, which can serve as references in future analyses, include multidimensional modeling for coastal flood simulations, optimization models for climate change strategies in ports, seismic design optimization based on building resilience, evaluation of solutions for multi-objective problems, and improved water network distribution optimization methods. These case studies illustrate the diverse and comprehensive approaches necessary to address the complex challenges faced by ports in the context of a changing climate.
