Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of the article is to introduce a framework for difficult port – city relations and competing interests of port, local communities and the environment. The main cause for port-generated environmental conflicts lays in the impact of ports on urban and marine system. Five types of port-generated environmental conflicts have been identified and described: conflicts for conservation of biodiversity, conflicts over coastal defence, conflict over portgenerated risks and hazards, conflicts over land-use change, conflicts over access.
