Abstract :The concept of green ports is becoming increasingly important every day. However, operating existing ports as green ports or planning newly constructed ports as green ports brings certain requirements. It is seen that the importance of location selection in green ports significantly affects the efficiency of the port and its suitability to its name. In this study, the criteria affecting the selection of green port locations were evaluated using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is a multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM). The study results show that the most important criterion among the criteria considered in the selection of green port locations is Environmental and Social Sustainability (29.27%). Geographical and Natural Conditions (24.78%) emerges as the second most important criterion. Infrastructure and Operational Efficiency (18.47%) and Economic and Commercial Issues (16.8%) are also emphasized in close competition with each other in terms of weight. Management and Strategic Importance (10.68%) are in the last place. In the selection of green ports, it is necessary to adopt a business style that respects the environment and humanity. Before the industrial revolution, the port-city relationship has given way to distant relations today. In this respect, for a clean future, integrated systems need to be created not only from green ports but also with green hinterlands and green cities.Keywords : Yeşil Liman, Analitik hiyerarşi süreci, Liman Şehir Entegrasyonu.
