“…As such, port development is largely dependent on the past decision and institutional structure over a long period of time (Notteboom, 2009). A similar conclusion was drawn in Tongzon, Ng and Shou (2015) who investigated impacts of political institutions on port governance in two main ports in East Asia, Singapore and Tianjin, China. The study confirmed the proposition that port governance was strongly associated with the implementation process dependent on the paths that were established by the broader institutional framework in which the economies developed.…”

“…Such historical data can be useful in forecasting future behaviour, and this is especially so in port development where path dependency is significantly present here (Tongzon, Ng and Shou, 2015;Notteboom, 2009). Path dependency refers to those initial decisions made by people or entities will influence or lead to respective later decisions.…”

“…These mechanisms may concern the functional role the studied institution gains in the broader context of co-existing institutions, the institution's legitimation when it is increasingly perceived as the only legitimate authority in its domain or how the institution distributes power among actors, as the dominant groups tend to support institutional settings that maintain and foster their power [40]. Path dependency analysis is applied also in land use and transport planning research [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

Challenges in Land Use and Transport Planning Integration in Helsinki Metropolitan Region—A Historical-Institutional Perspective

Land use and transport integration has been considered a must-have approach in achieving sustainable urban development. However, successful applications of the concept have been few, as institutional reforms to support land use and transport integration have lagged behind. Accordingly, this article argues that understanding difficulties in land use and transport integration requires an analysis of the long-term evolution of formal and informal institutional frameworks in planning practices. For this purpose, this article presents a case study of land use and transport planning in Finland’s Helsinki Metropolitan Region, which combines interview research on planners’ perceptions with a document analysis of the historical trajectories of the region’s plans, policy documents and related institutional and organizational changes. The historical-institutional approach of the article draws on discursive institutionalism as a novel analytical approach for studying how land use and transport integration is institutionally conditioned.

Despite a rise of global concerns on climate change and adaptation in recent years, a review of articles published over the past two decades shows that research on port climate adaptation is still in its infancy (Panahi et al., 2020). Seaports play a pivotal role in the global supply chain and transportation networks and profoundly influence the regional economy and are highly exposed to marine natural disasters and climate change threats. The adaptation strategy is regarded as a practical approach to reducing vulnerabilities of the seaport to climate change. A significant research community covering various subjects on the study of port climate adaptation is emerging and forming (Panahi et al., 2020). However, the existing scholarships on port climate adaptation remain to focus on developed countries' ports and lack of diversification background. There is still a limited contribution of researchers from developing countries in port climate research. The growing leadership role of Chinese ports in global transportation and supply chain network makes researchers need to pay more attention to adaptation's status quo. In the complex context of port reform and development, in what way and to what extent do the institutions and stakeholders in the decision-making environment to China's port system affect the process of establishing and implementing adaptation mechanisms in ports, requires further research. This literature is partly formed by the work of Panahi et al. (2020). It explores the roles of and interaction between institutions and stakeholders in climate change adaptation of the Chinese port system, based on the decision-making theory. This paper undertakes an in-depth case study on Ningbo-Zhoushan port, one of China's most representative regional ports. We identify that the inadequate supply of institutions and the absence and misbehaviors of main port stakeholders cause institutional imperfection of port adaptation system to varying degrees. This paper is one of the first attempts to fill the gap in research on climate change and adaptation in Chinese ports. In addition, by bringing together concepts from social science fields into interdisciplinary research, we further prove and develop decision-making theory through case studies within the Chinese social and institutional system framework.
