Ports play an essential role in nation’s economic growth by fostering trade and development. Making a master plan for port development includes several actions that need to be taken before a final master plan is decided. Implementing such actions in a real situation as a try out for port development will result in time and financial loss, not to mention the effect to the environment and availability of space. Port Constructor is introduced last year as the newest tool to simulate all the planning and development process of a port and see the result of every action in relatively short time. Port Constructor is a serious game, it looks like a game, but it also has a learning objective that needs to be achieved. The primary function of this game is that players can take several actions, undertake tasks, and experience situations which would be impossible to be tried in a real life situation. In addition, Port Constructor allows players to have a position as a port planner and developer, which may not be possible in reality, and experience a real situation within a short period of time. By developing their own port scenario (or real-port scenario) in the Port Constructor, the player will have a real experience as a port planner. This study was conducted to assess the Port Constructor game as a learning tool in port planning and development both for student and more experienced port developers. Furthermore, this study also provides a way of developing scenarios inside the Port Constructor game as well as ensuring that the aim of this game can be achieved by doing a game session together with students and professionals participants. The game sessions were held to prove the playability of the game as a single-player and multi-player game. Resulting in a better outcome when the game played as a multi-player game because players can have a discussion before deciding the next actions that they will take. Examples of several port layouts are provided to prove the flexibility of this game that can be used to accommodate uncertainty of port development when using in the future. In conclusion, developers believe that Port Constructor can be a useful instrument for the learning process of people at the educational level as well as for port developers on their port planning course and project.

作为学习工具的港口开发的严肃游戏:港口建设者的案例研究
港口通过促进贸易和发展在国家经济增长中发挥着重要作用。制定港口发展总体规划包括在最终总体规划确定之前需要采取的几项行动。在实际情况下实施此类行动作为港口开发的试验将导致时间和经济损失,更不用说对环境和空间可用性的影响。Port Constructor 是去年推出的最新工具,可以模拟港口的所有规划和开发过程,并在相对较短的时间内查看每个操作的结果。Port Constructor 是一款严肃的游戏,它看起来像一个游戏,但它也有一个需要实现的学习目标。这个游戏的主要功能是玩家可以采取多种行动,承担任务,并体验在现实生活中无法尝试的情况。此外,港口建设者让玩家拥有港口规划师和开发商的职位,这在现实中可能是不可能的,并在短时间内体验到真实的情况。通过在港口建设者中开发自己的港口场景(或真实港口场景),玩家将获得作为港口规划师的真实体验。本研究旨在评估港口建设者游戏作为港口规划和开发的学习工具,适用于学生和更有经验的港口开发商。此外,本研究还提供了一种在 Port Constructor 游戏中开发场景的方法,并确保可以通过与学生和专业参与者一起进行游戏会话来实现该游戏的目标。举行了游戏会议以证明游戏作为单人和多人游戏的可玩性。当游戏作为多人游戏进行时会产生更好的结果,因为玩家可以在决定他们将采取的下一步行动之前进行讨论。提供了几个港口布局的例子来证明这个游戏的灵活性,可以用来适应未来使用时港口发展的不确定性。总之,开发人员认为,Port Constructor 可以成为人们在教育层面的学习过程以及港口开发人员进行港口规划课程和项目的有用工具。当游戏作为多人游戏进行时会产生更好的结果,因为玩家可以在决定他们将采取的下一步行动之前进行讨论。提供了几个港口布局的例子来证明这个游戏的灵活性,可以用来适应未来使用时港口发展的不确定性。总之,开发人员认为,Port Constructor 可以成为人们在教育层面的学习过程以及港口开发人员进行港口规划课程和项目的有用工具。当游戏作为多人游戏进行时会产生更好的结果,因为玩家可以在决定他们将采取的下一步行动之前进行讨论。提供了几个港口布局的例子来证明这个游戏的灵活性,可以用来适应未来使用时港口发展的不确定性。总之,开发人员认为,Port Constructor 可以成为人们在教育层面的学习过程以及港口开发人员进行港口规划课程和项目的有用工具。
