Study On Evaluation Of Inland Waterway Maintenance Level

In recent years, with the care and support of the central and local government, Channel management and maintenance work in China achieved remarkable results. Waterway construction accelerated, maintenance mileage had increased year by year, maintenance level gradually improved, maintenance quantity of waterway regulation building increased unceasingly, maintenance fund was also more and more. But China’s inland waterway compared with developed countries was still relatively backward. Waterway maintenance system could not meet the shipping needs, the waterway network which had hierarchical structure had not yet formed, Channel maintenance resources was not enough, lacked comprehensive, effective channel management system. In order to ensure the safety of the ship navigation, and promoting sustainable development of China’s shipping industry, China must improve the inland waterway maintenance level, do more to study on evaluation of inland waterway maintenance level, to find out the factors restricting the development of channel, to carry out maintenance work channel targeted.Research on the evaluation of inland waterway maintenance, scholars at home and abroad made a lot of efforts, and achieved certain results. Abroad for waterway maintenance level evaluation studies were mainly focused on the waterway maintenance system, waterway maintenance technology, waterway maintenance legal construction level, waterway maintenance financing etc. Domestic scholars mainly focused on the waterway maintenance system evaluation, funding level, scale evaluation, construction level of facilities and equipment evaluation etc. At present, the studies about management and maintenance of inland waterway are mainly focused on put forward countermeasures and suggestions on the basis of qualitative analysis to channel management and maintenance. During the research, domestic and foreign scholars were mainly put forward counter measures and suggestions based on qualitative analysis about the management and maintenance of inland waterway research. No scholars had system evaluated the waterway maintenance level.This paper summarized the influence factors of inland waterway maintenance level through the analysis of China’s inland waterway maintenance survey data, combined with the field survey on the channel environment. Paper got maintenance efforts, amount of measuring and calculating work, amount of dredging engineering and the maintenance effect. Than paper used the multi factor model evaluate provincial inland waterway maintenance level of19sample provinces. Finally paper could achieve the comprehensive factor rankings and provincial total ranking. According to analysis the evaluation results, paper proposed some suggestions and measures of improving inland waterway maintenance level.
