SNAME Turkey Community Webinar Presentation
Today, there is no consensus about the semantic explanations of the conceptions of maritime theory. This study is aimed to analyze the development process of sea-related concepts, and models and to identify the maritime power elements as inputs and results as outputs by evaluating the evolving nature of the seas. The results of the study are depicted by a comparison chart and suggested a new input-output model namely "Three-layer Holistic Maritimization Model". In this model, a new notion is suggested called as maritimization in the sense of a sustainable process to be planned and managed holistically with all layers. For the maritimization process the key elements such as maritime economics, maritime vision, sea power, maritime education and maritime culture has suggested. These elements can be accepted as parts of a puzzle. If one of the parts is ignored the system cannot work properly. In conclusion in the progress of decision process this model may offer an opportunity to understand the critical importance of maritimization process which may lead countries to some outputs such as wealth of nations, security of country and, innovational and libertarian thinking ability. This model could be defined as an instrument that influences the maritime power and sustains the maritimization process.
