Abstract

This study aims to explore the integration of nature-based solutions and adaptive technology to enhance climate resilience in maritime transportation management, using Teluk Bayur Port, West Sumatra, as a case study. Anchored on the SDGs framework, particularly Goal 13 (Climate Action) and Goal 14 (Life Below Water), the research employs a mixed-method design that combines qualitative insights from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with quantitative modeling using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) on data from 93 respondents. The results show that community adaptation readiness and technology support have a significant positive effect on port resilience outcomes, while environmental conditions show a significant negative effect. The findings also confirm that collaboration between adaptive technology, ecosystem conservation such as mangroves, and community participation are key to building a port that is resilient to climate change. The integration of analysis in the DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) framework shows the dynamics of the relationship between factors and adaptation responses that are contextual and systematic. This study provides conceptual and practical contributions to sustainable port planning based on nature and technology innovation in tropical coastal areas. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
