Port areas in densely urbanized areas are locations where the lack of development space increasingly limits growth possibilities, and competition for space between stakeholders with diverging interests and land use claims intensifies. The aim of our paper is to enrich the scientific discourse on the port-city interface by arguing for a more multi-facetted understanding of the port-city interface beyond arguments of economic efficiency, and what this implies for how land use conflicts materialize and are dissolved. Based on quantitative data we have analyzed the characteristics of the land use conflicts in two case study areas (the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands) in more detail. Furthermore, we developed a framework that could contribute to mitigating the effects of the land use conflicts, and have qualitatively explored this through an analysis of port visions and annual reports of the port authorities. The findings suggest that, even though the net claims do not yet outnumber the available land, the cumulative effects of these diverging interests do, which suggests that the battle for space is about to intensify as there are more claims than land.

比土地更多的索赔：港口城市界面的多方面土地利用挑战


城市化人口密集地区的港口地区是缺乏开发空间越来越限制增长可能性的地方，利益分歧和土地使用权要求的利益相关者之间对空间的竞争加剧。我们论文的目的是通过论证对港口-城市界面的更多方面的理解，超越经济效率的争论，以及这对土地使用冲突如何实现和消除意味着什么，来丰富关于港口-城市界面的科学论述。基于定量数据，我们更详细地分析了两个案例研究区域（荷兰鹿特丹港和阿姆斯特丹港）的土地利用冲突特征。此外，我们开发了一个有助于减轻土地使用冲突影响的框架，并通过分析港口愿景和港务局的年度报告对此进行了定性探索。研究结果表明，尽管净索赔的数量尚未超过可用土地的数量，但这些利益分歧的累积效应确实超过了可用土地的数量，这表明太空争夺战即将加剧，因为索赔数量多于土地数量。
