چکیده

پژوهش به بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر بهره‌گیری از ظرفیت‌های دریایی با هدف دستیابی به جایگاه قطب منطقه‌ای می‌پردازد. اهمیت بنادر دریایی به عنوان قلب تپنده تجارت جهانی و توسعه اقتصادی مناطق مختلف مورد تأکید قرارگرفته است. مسئله بهره‌برداری بهینه از ظرفیت‌های دریایی به عنوان موانع اصلی شناسایی‌شده‌اند. هدف اصلی این مطالعه، ارائه راهکارهای جامع برای بهره‌برداری بهینه از ظرفیت‌های دریایی و ارتقای عملکرد بنادر در سطح منطقه‌ای و جهانی است. این مطالعه با نگاهی جامع به بررسی هفت عامل اساسی و فراتر از توصیف نظری به ارائه راهکارهای عملی می‌پردازد. این مطالعه از یک رویکرد ترکیبی (کیفی و کمی) برای تحلیل عوامل مؤثر بر بهره‌گیری از ظرفیت‌های دریایی استفاده می‌کند. در بخش کیفی، از روش تحلیل محتوا و مصاحبه‌های نیمه ساختاریافته با خبرگان حوزه دریایی برای جمع‌آوری داده‌ها استفاده‌شده و در بخش کمی، از روش مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SmartPLS برای تحلیل داده‌ها استفاده‌شده است. داده‌های کمی از طریق پرسشنامه‌های مبتنی بر طیف لیکرت جمع‌آوری‌شده‌اند. هفت عامل اصلی مؤثر بر بهره‌گیری از ظرفیت‌های دریایی شناسایی شدند: موقعیت جغرافیایی و منطقه‌ای، سیاست‌ها و اقدامات حکومتی، تجارت و بازارهای محلی و بین‌المللی، فناوری و زیرساخت‌ها، عوامل اقتصادی و هزینه‌ها، عوامل اقلیمی و آب و هوایی، انرژی و منابع تجدیدپذیر. یافته‌های این پژوهش می‌تواند به سیاست‌گذاران و مدیران بنادر در تدوین استراتژی‌های توسعه‌ای کمک کند. شناخت دقیق و تحلیل این عوامل به برنامه‌ریزی استراتژیک و مدیریت بهینه منابع دریایی کمک شایانی می‌کند.

چکیده English

A B S T R A C T
The research examines the factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities with the aim of achieving the status of a regional hub. The importance of seaports as the beating heart of global trade and economic development of various regions has been emphasized. The issue of optimal utilization of maritime capacities has been identified as the main obstacles. The main objective of this study is to provide comprehensive solutions for the optimal utilization of maritime capacities and to improve the performance of ports at the regional and global levels. This study, with a comprehensive look at the seven basic factors and beyond theoretical description, provides practical solutions. This study uses a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) to analyze the factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities. In the qualitative part, content analysis and semi-structured interviews with maritime experts were used to collect data, and in the quantitative part, structural equation modeling using SmartPLS software was used to analyze data. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires based on the Likert spectrum. Seven main factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities were identified: geographical and regional location, government policies and actions, local and international trade and markets, technology and infrastructure, economic factors and costs, climate and weather factors, energy and renewable resources. The findings of this research can help policymakers and port managers formulate development strategies. Accurate recognition and analysis of these factors greatly contribute to strategic planning and optimal management of marine resources.
Extended Abstract
Introduction
Today, seaports are the beating heart of global trade and economic development in different regions. Accordingly, different countries have adopted various policies and legal frameworks to effectively exploit this huge potential. Accurate recognition and analysis of these factors contribute significantly to strategic planning and optimal management of marine resources. This study aims to provide comprehensive solutions for the optimal exploitation of maritime capacities and improving the performance of ports at the regional and global levels, and seeks to provide a comprehensive and practical solution to improve the situation of seaports. The issue of optimal exploitation of maritime capacities and improving the performance of seaports is one of the major challenges in developing countries.

Methodology
This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities in achieving the position of regional hubs. In this research, a mixed method (quantitative-qualitative) has been used to collect and analyze data. In the qualitative analysis section, the common method of content analysis has been used, which has determined the factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities in achieving the position of regional hubs through face-to-face and semi-structured interviews with experts in this field. This method is the boundary between the two objective and subjective poles, which helps to examine the realities more comprehensively and also to evaluate the adaptation of programs to their content features and structures. In the quantitative analysis section, the structural equation modeling method based on partial least squares has been used with the help of Smart PLS software. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that evaluated the factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities in achieving the position of regional poles based on a 5-point Likert scale.

Results and discussion
During the data collection process, experts identified and presented several indicators as factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities in achieving the position of regional poles. After reviewing the literature on the subject, it was found that these indicators, although limited and specific, often have a common origin. This commonality, even in different societies, is due to the close relationship of the society with the surrounding environment and similar methods of utilizing maritime capacities in order to achieve the position of regional poles. The presented classification groups the documented indicators of factors affecting the utilization of maritime capacities into seven main categories, which are: geographical and regional location, government policies and actions, local and international trade and markets, technology and infrastructure, economic factors and costs, climate and weather conditions, energy and renewable resources.

Conclusion
This study seeks to identify key factors that can help ports make the most of their maritime capabilities and become important regional hubs. The findings show that the geographical location of ports, especially proximity to international trade routes and access to deep waters, is one of the most important factors in attracting investment and economic development. Ports located in strategic areas can become important trade centers and play a key role in regional economic growth. On the other hand, government policies and actions also play a very important role in this process. Government financial support, reducing administrative bureaucracy, and developing transparent and efficient laws can pave the way for sustainable growth of ports. In addition, environmental protection laws and sustainable management of marine resources not only help preserve the environment, but also attract the trust of investors and international partners. Along with these factors, advanced technology and infrastructure are also key elements that can significantly increase the efficiency of ports. The use of smart systems, logistics innovations and digital technologies can reduce operational time and costs and improve port services. These developments will not only help ports to stay ahead of global competition, but can also serve as a model for other ports in the region.
