“…Spatial interaction model is effective to explore, analyse and explain flows of people, goods or information over space. Therefore, it has been widely used to analyse migration flows, freight transport flows and trade flows (Kerkman et al, 2017). In addition, this model may analyse the influence of spatial characteristics and characteristics of the transport network simultaneously (Bates, 2000).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the prospects of Malaysian seaports as hubs for seaport tourism. This symbiosis nexus between seaports and tourism needs to be explored to provide a luxury economic growth. Combinations of these two segments are expected to explore a new market in Malaysian tourism industry. Design/methodology/approach A thorough case study consists of five major seaports in Malaysia including Penang Port, Port Klang, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Kuantan Port, Bintulu Port and Kota Kinabalu; these seaports have been selected to reveal their opportunities for the prospect of Malaysian seaport tourism via spatial interaction model. Findings Four main components including cruise activities, support from intra-region and inter-region economic corridors and the seaport regionalisation can be integrated to reveal the capacity of Malaysian seaport to be hub for seaport tourism. Originality/value This paper incorporates tourism sector as one of the streams in the fifth-generation seaports. Seaports and tourism are two economic generators in Malaysia and infusion of these components is expected to enhance the economic prospect, diversify the function of seaports and reduce the over-dependence on conventional tourism activities.

“…In general terms, the port hinterland comprises the geographical sphere of influence where the port draws the majority of its business (Notteboom, ). However, it must be borne in mind that the concept of hinterland is dynamic, with Wilmsmeier, Monios, and Lambert () defining it as “the area that can be reached at a cheaper cost or shorter time than from another port.” Travel time is thus a better proxy than distance to depict the hinterland scope since it efficiently reflects the various frictions of distance resulting from technology and infrastructure improvements (He, Gao, Sun, & Lau, ; Kerkman, Martens, & Meurs, ). Models of spatial interaction (e.g., the gravity model, Huff model, and field model) based on travel time and masses (attractiveness) can simultaneously analyze the influence of both spatial and transport network characteristics.…”

Spatial–temporal evolution of the port–hinterland relationship: A case study of the Midstream Yangtze River, China

Most scientific attention on port studies centers on deep sea ports, especially container ports. In this paper, in contrast, attention is focused on the spatial–temporal development of inland waterway ports on the Midstream Yangtze River from 2001 to 2013. The aim of this study is to assess two relevant and complementary questions of the hinterland evolution: its geographical extent and the coordination relationship with the inland port. To conduct the study, it was necessary to first identify the boundaries of the ports' hinterlands within the given timeframe. Then, the coupling coordination degree model was introduced to explore the underlying relationship between the port service and hinterland economy. Furthermore, to better depict the intricate economic characteristics of the hinterland, the development stage theory was applied in the models. The results highlight the emergence of a discontinuous hinterland at Wuhan Port and its reinforcement of primacy with respect to fierce hinterland rivalry. It also demonstrates that an interplay between major ports and their corresponding hinterlands evolves from the transitional stage, characterized by lagging port service, to the multi‐stage, wherein the supply of ports partly outstrips hinterland demand.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a tool to delimit the scope of the hinterland of ports as accurately and simply as possible. To achieve this goal, an adapted version of the Huff model is proposed. In order to verify the validity of the proposal, it was applied to the Spanish case. As repulsion and attraction factors, both key aspects in the Spatial Interaction Models, the province-port travel time along the road network and the container throughput of the ports were considered respectively. The estimated hinterland of the analysed container ports fits well the observed flows. The obtained results confirm that the proposed methodology allows to identify the scope of the hinterland of ports in an effective an easy way, which is of interest both to stakeholders and policy makers.
