Green Port, Sustainable Governance, Integrative ModelAbstract
Ports play a vital role in national logistics but also generate significant environmental impacts. The Green Port concept offers a sustainable approach emphasizing economic efficiency, social responsibility, and environmental protection. This study aims to formulate an integrative Green Port model through the development of sustainable port governance in Indonesia. A descriptive-analytical method was applied, integrating Sustainability Theory, Resource-Based View, Technology Acceptance Model, and Governance Theory. The findings indicate that collaborative governance, technological innovation, and resource efficiency are key to achieving Green Port implementation. The proposed model serves as a practical framework for national Green Port policy and supports Indonesia’s Net Zero Emission 2060 commitment
