Kaohsiung is the southern mother port for international cruise in Taiwan based on the development plan of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. It is an important issue to investigate key service quality factors for passenger center in Kaohsiung port. Hence, the main purpose of this paper was to apply the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach to evaluate key factors influencing service quality for passenger center in Kaohsiung port. Based on the literature and experts, opinions, a hierarchical structure with five assessment aspects and twenty-one assessment factors was first constructed, and an AHP algorithm model then proposed. Finally, based on the AHP experts, questionnaires, we used the AHP approach to evaluate the key service quality factors. The results showed that: (1) 'tangibles' is the most important assessment aspect influencing service quality for passenger center in Kaohsiung port. (2) In order of relative importance, the top seven key service quality factors are 'capability of customs clearance and license inspection operations', 'capability of shipboarding operations', 'modern facilities and equipment', 'the scale of the passenger center', 'building appearance', 'transport systems to link both external and internal areas', and 'baggage handling capability', respectively. |
