摘要

This chapter delves into the central position and resilience of China’s major ports in the global shipping network under the influence of typhoons. This study focuses on the ports of Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Xiamen, and Qinzhou and analyses their network centrality and resilience through a comprehensive evaluation framework. In terms of centrality evaluation, a shipping network was constructed using UCINET software, and two new dimensions, feature vector centrality and core edge analysis, were introduced based on conventional evaluation dimensions to improve the accuracy and completeness of analysing the importance of ports in the shipping network. In terms of resilience assessment, a port resilience evaluation index system was constructed, and research methods such as analytic hierarchy process (AHP), entropy weight method, and TOPSIS method were used to evaluate the port’s ability to resist typhoon interference. Research has shown that the five sample ports rank high in centrality within the constructed shipping network. Among them, Shanghai Port maintains a dominant position in global shipping and is crucial for global trade and regional economic prosperity.
