There are four main factors, derived from the analysis: 1) Port functional knowledge 2) Lack of social connectedness port-city 3) Environmentally concerned and 4) Absent port’s ripple’s effect. The links connecting the port-city and local population, are assessed by identifying: 1) The level of awareness of the Busan citizens of the port 2) Factors perceived as positive as well as factors perceived as negative by Busan citizens. This study’s contribution focuses on empirically evaluating the perception of Busan citizens of the local port, by applying Q methodology. Citizens’ awareness of the function and value of ports may not be positive, because of a range of negative factors such as emissions, noise, and road congestion, which can influence their perception. Such roles combined, reap numerous and significant benefits, mainly with growth of jobs and wealth creation, for the local population living in the city, and beyond. However, the function of ports is becoming more diversified, expanding on roles as industrial clusters, as well as logistical centers. Ports play a key role in international trade, as integral hubs where passengers and cargoes are loaded, discharged, and transshipped.
