The Multi-model transport system inSyria is considered of
slow evolution systems as it is capital intensive in alldifferent
means (land،marine،air،pipelines) and thus predominated by a
high fixed cost economic feature،and this causes an obstacle t
o
the development of multi-modeltransport،and therefore its inability
to compete.
But the hard work in improving thetransportation sector (by
land،sea،air) and the different modes (train،truck،ship،aircraft) and
following the necessarystrategies and logistics to help in
developing it،made the transport sector in Syria contributes a
significant proportion of GDP.
The research aims through his studies to determine the effectiveness of the
administrative factors in the application of multi-modal transport system. He also aims to
determine the effectiveness of logistical factors in the application of this syst
em, and assess
the extent of the efficiency of the nessessary infrastructure for the application of this
system. The researcher adobted to test his hypotheses on the preliminary data obtained
through a distribution of a questionnaire to the workers of the container terminal of the
Port of Latakia, the customs agents and shipping companies, and the number of the
respondents was about 60 people. The researcher used the "Student" test sample as one
sample in order to test his hypotheses. He conducted demographic descriptions for the
members of the sample,Cronbach's alpha coefficient to measure the stability was 0,911.
The study concluded: Poor logistic service in the container terminal at the Port of
Latakia and the weakness of qualified and trained staff to use the method of transport.
The researcher found at the end of the study: The need to update all the infrastructure
related to each place and take advantage of the geographical location of Syria.
