An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

Application of multi-criteria decision making to estimate the potential of flooding

Integrating a geographic information system and multi-criteria decision making methods have been lead to provide spatial multi-criteria decision making methods. In this study, the spatial potential of flooding was determined based on analytic network process and analytic hierarchy process. At first, six factors of flooding were determined as criteria. The criteria were the slope, hill-slope asp...

Evaluation of recommender systems: A multi-criteria decision making approach

The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

The place of AHP method among Multi Criteria Decision Making methods in forest management

As the name implies, Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDMs) is a decision making tool that capable the selection of the most preferred choice in a context where several criteria apply simultaneously.  Primary purpose of this study is to examine the status of Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDMs) in forest management. The study also aims to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses ...

Prioritizing Rangeland Improvement Practices using Multi-Criteria Decision Making Approach

Selecting the appropriate rangeland improvement method is a challenging task for range managers because it requires consideration of  various criteria. This study was  aimed to evaluate various restoration and reclamation practices in the rangelands of Semirom-Isfahan using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. Grazing management, water point development, pit seeding, exclosure, water ...
