Abstract:The first step towards improving the climate resilience status of airports is assessing their current performance. Since currently no assessment method that enables to measure resilience on the airport level exists, this research aims to develop an Airport Climate Resilience Assessment Scan (AirCRAS). Here, the premise is that the AirCRAS results in a holistic overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the airport system. This AirCRAS has been developed in the commission of Netherlands Airport Consultants (NACO), a world-leading airport engineering and consultancy firm that helps to guide the future of many airports around the world. With the development of the AirCRAS, NACO aims to pre-emptively find solutions for the changing needs of their clients. For the development of the AirCRAS, this research adopts a design science methodology. Design science aims to directly tackle the problem experienced in practice by providing a solution. In this design science methodology, three design phases are run through: the problem investigation phase, the design phase and the validation phase.
