Sažetak
Seaports play a crucial role in the transportation and logistics chain, and their development and optimization require significant investments in infrastructure, superstructure, human resources, and management. To ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of these investments, it is essential to implement a well-designed port management model. This model should be based on the criteria used to guide the selection process and ensure that the chosen model aligns with the needs and objectives of the port, stakeholders, and community. This study aims to determine the optimal criteria and management model for the regional seaports in the Republic of Croatia. Port management experts’ opinions were obtained through a questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the AHP and fuzzy AHP methods. The results showed that the criterion of functionality is optimal for choosing the appropriate management model, while the most favorable management model is the coordinated decentralized model. The results obtained by both methods were the same. Different criteria and management models, with similarities and differences between the obtained results and the provisions of the National Development Plan of Ports Open to Public Transport of Regional and Local Significance, are discussed and highlighted.
