Utilization multi attribute decision making models for spatial prioritization and environmental decision making in new towns

Linguistic Multi-Attribute Decision Making with a Prioritization Relationship

In this paper we consider linguistic information aggregation problems where a prioritization relationship exists over attributes. The authors define a prioritized 2-tuple ordered weighted averaging (PTOWA) operator to aggregate satisfactions of alternatives under attributes with a linear prioritized ordering. The authors then use the PTOWA and a TOWA operator to aggregate linguistic information...

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

Introducing a New Approach for Prioritizing Combating Desertification Strategies Based on Multi- Attribute Decision Making

Addressing desertification, due to its multi-criteria nature, increasing development, extensive and long-term impacts on natural resources and human populations, is necessary to achieve sustainable development. Therefore, for optimal utilization of facilities and limited funds allocated to this issue, evaluation of current strategies, based on different criteria is essential to avoid wasting na...

A New multi attribute Decision making Reliability Centered Maintenance in Power Transmission Systems

The present context of the electric industry, characterized by competitive markets, privatization, and regulatory of technical requirements forces the power utilities to optimize their asset management practices and develop the requisite decision plans techno-economically. Practically approaching, this paper devises a new support tool based on a multiattribute decision making (MADM) framework i...

Making Decision Support System for Utilization of Biogas in Iran

The use of renewable energy sources is often suggested to be a good solution for climate change and the dependency to fossil fuel. Biogas utilization is a one of these promising options that can mitigate these problems since biogas is produced by the fermentation of waste, so is rich in methane and has the same characteristics as natural gas. Biogas has increasingly been noticed in different co...
