This study explores key critical factors of waterfront port development ( WPD ) by applying analytic network process ( ANP ) and analytic hierarchy process ( AHP ) to the I ncheon and B angkok ports, drawing certain implications. The major findings of this paper show that the ANP draws more stable, comprehensive, and consistent results than the AHP , and the ANP ranking results of the three cases, showed four common key critical criteria of WPD exist among the top five (i.e., accessibility under community function; connectivity under port function; maritime clustering, and transformation of the port/city interface under economic function).
