Abstract: The port of Naples is a city’s important economic resource, and represents a great opportunity for the development of tourism and improvement of businesses. We propose an application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process for the sustainable urban development of Naples port area, by focusing on economic, environment and social impact. Then, we perform a preliminary experimentation, by means of an opinion survey with a sample of students of Department of Architecture and Department of Economic, Legal and Social Studies. In particular, we get a ranking of the alternatives that highlights that the preferable alternative aims to improve services for tourism and leisure, to enjoy the sea and the monumental area.
