A multi-objective model for environmental investment decision making
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investment in landscapes to achieve outcomes that have multiple environmental benefits has become a major priority in many countries. This gives rise to opportunities for mathematical programming methods to provide solutions on where investments could be made on the landscape, to maximise multiple environmental benefits. The problem was formulated as a multi-objective integer programming model, with objective functions representing biodiversity, water run-off and carbon sequestration. We applied a multiobjective Greedy Randomised Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) as an evolutionary programming method to find solutions along the Pareto front. This allows the decision maker to explore trade-off’s between the objectives. A 142,000 ha case study catchment in eastern Australia was used to test the methodology and assess the sensitivity of the different and often competing environmental benefits. 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper proposes a compromise model, based on a new method, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. In this compromise programming method, two concepts are considered simultaneously. First of them is that the optimal ...
