Abstract

As key nodes connecting the land and marine economies, port cities serve as the core carriers for the construction of maritime power. This paper constructs a comprehensive classification and evaluation indicator system for port cities from the perspective of maritime power, encompassing four dimensions: port development, marine development, urban development and global development. Furthermore, the entropy weight method and the TOPSIS model are applied to classify 51 coastal port cities in China. The results indicate that Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin are global maritime central cities; Fuzhou, Yantai, Xiamen, Nantong, Quanzhou, and Dalian are maritime central cities; and Zhoushan, Zhanjiang, Weihai, Beihai, Taizhou, Zhangzhou, Yancheng, Lianyungang, and Zhuhai are distinctive maritime cities. The classification and evaluation results effectively reflect the comprehensive development level of port cities from the perspective of maritime power. These findings provide a basis for relevant authorities to formulate targeted measures for maritime power construction and hold significant implications for promoting the synergistic development of maritime power and transportation power.
