Contextual Characteristic

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a decision-making method, allows the relative prioritization and assessment of alternatives under multiple criteria contexts. This method is also well suited for road selection. The method for road selection based on AHP involves four steps: (i) Points of Interest (POIs), the point-like representations of the facilities and habitations in maps, are used to describe and build the contextual characteristic indicator of roads; (ii) form an AHP model of roads with topological, geometrical, and contextual characteristic indicators to calculate their importance; (iii) select roads based on their importance and the adaptive thresholds of their constituent density partitions; and (iv) maintain the global connectivity of the selected network. The generalized result at a scale of 1:200,000 by AHP-based methods better preserved the structure of the original road network compared with other methods. Our method also gives preference to roads with relatively significant contextual characteristics without interfering with the structure of the road network. Furthermore, the result of our method largely agrees with that of the manual method.

Abstract The selection of a road route plan is an essential preliminary task. The choice of the route greatly influences its function, role in the road network, economic development of the areas along the route, and the return on investment. In this paper, qualitative analysis and evaluation of the details of the proposed route options in terms of ecological environment and engineering economy are carried out through fuzzy hierarchical analysis, based on the route data from Bushang to Bizhou, to combine the principles of the routes and develop several route options. Among the pre-determined route options, screening and comparison are carried out, and Option II is proposed as the recommended route.

Decision makings in the contexts of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) and Marine Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MGDI) are recently gaining attention in SDI literatures. Both initiatives are multi-dynamic and complex in nature, thus exhibiting multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. Yet, there is dearth of multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) decision making framework. In this paper, major criteria for enhanced decisions about MGDI implementations are evaluated. These criteria sourced from literature, further adjudged through Delphi experts group evaluations till consensus was reached on seven criteria. Thereafter, pilot surveys for criteria weightage and ranking based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model were carried out, with respondents from marine stakeholders in Malaysia. Results obtained were assessed and compared with scoring procedure; Data and Information had the highest percentage while Social criterion is the least ranked. The significance of these criteria in enhancing MGDI decision for numerous marine activities among the stakeholders are therefore highlighted through this study.

Summer tourist destinations attract touristS for various attractions and developed product content. This paper focuses on how various attraction factors are important for tourists. The most used model for analysis of the attraction factors is the Ritchie Crouch model, that defines several attractions categories. The paper stars with a modified Ritchie Crouch model with basic attraction factors in the focus within summer destinations. These factors have been taken into consideration having in mind the specifics of summer destinations and their products. The research methodology is based on the AHP model Analytic Hierarchy Process)). In this model, each interviewee compares different alternatives, and in this case assesses the value of individual attraction factors for the decision making process about a summer destination. On the basis of the results, three segments have been identified, followed by testing the significance of the differences between attraction factors among the defined segments. After this, a hypothesis has been tested that there is a bigger difference among the segments defined according to attraction factors preferences than among the traditionally defined segments.

Erosion Protection

The level of soil degradation worldwide is alarming due to its potential for causing serious problems such as threatening food security. The sultanate of Oman faces the problem of soil erosion which also disturbs waterways, infrastructure and agriculture. The problem of soil erosion has become increasingly apparent in Oman and is due to inappropriate land management. This occurs particularly with dams where sedimentation is a common issue and in the aflaj water systems. Currently, there are no appropriate methods being practiced that would overcome the problem of soil erosion in Oman, and no specific studies are available that discuss suitable methods for soil protection in Oman. Therefore, this study is an initiative to overcome the problem of soil erosion in Oman by proposing the best soil erosion protection method using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In order to achieve this goal, this study reviews different methods of preventing soil erosion and the factors governing their selection. The important and controlling factors were considered in an AHP model to rank the soil erosion protection methods. Based on the AHP model, pairwise comparisons were conducted with the help of 15 experts from different sectors including authorities responsible for soil conservation in Oman, decision-making governmental departments and research institutes. The results of the AHP analysis indicated that the most suitable soil erosion protection method, based on the considered factors, is erosion control fences, followed by protection of the gully head and revetment. As no previous studies on suitable methods for soil conservation in Oman exist, this study bridges the gap by providing valuable information on the best soil protection methods that could help soil conservation authorities in Oman as they decide about possible future strategies.The study also indicated that the AHP model is a suitable guiding framework for decision-making because it involves a group of experts for the selection of soil protection methods based on the situation in Oman.

In this complex world, coping with daily problems is quite tedious. The more advancement in technology means more difficulties in decision-making process. Hence some analytical tools are needed to deal with improvement in decisions being made. A classic AHP model enables us to make efficient decision by reducing the complex issues. It takes multiple parameters into consideration. One of the area where decision-making is quite a tough job is Politics. Selection of the electoral party in any elections, be it Lok Sabha elections or Rajya Sabha elections, has been a matter of discussion for the voters as well as the media. The decisions are reflected when uncertainties are added in the opinions of the domain experts due to multiple parameters.  In this paper we have proposed a model for rectifying the uncertainties using multi criteria decision analysis and analytic hierarchy process (AHP).

In this paper, evaluation index improvement for research equipment relocation is presented and discussed to boost the effectiveness of research equipment management. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model was designed for the evaluation index improvement for research equipment relocation, and the pairwise comparison scale was set up based on the importance of each evaluation criterion. The consistency rate (CR) was measured, and it was confirmed that the decision-making was reasonable. The improvement of the evaluation index was necessary for the objective and fair relocation of research equipment. Therefore, the evaluation index for the relocation of research equipment was designed for an objective and fair evaluation. It is hoped that the study findings will be very useful and will contribute greatly to the professors, researchers, and policymakers involved in science and technology policymaking and R&D.

Decisions usually involve the getting the best solution, selecting the suitable experiments, most appropriate judgments, taking the quality results etc., using some techniques.  Every decision making can be considered as the choice from the set of alternatives based on a set of criteria.  The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is a multi-criteria decision making and is dealing with decision making problems through pairwise comparisons mode [10].  The weight vectors from this comparison model are obtained by using extent analysis method.  This paper concern with an alternate method of finding the weight vectors from the original fuzzy AHP decision model (moderate fuzzy AHP model), that has the same rank as obtained in original fuzzy AHP and ideal fuzzy AHP decision models.

Decision problems are usually complex and involve evaluation of several conflicting criteria (parameters). Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a promising field that considers the parallel influence of all criteria and aims at helping decision makers in expressing their preferences, over a set of predefined alternatives, on the basis of criteria (parameters) that are contradictory in nature. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a useful and widespread MCDM tool for solving such type of problems, as it allows the incorporation of conflicting objectives and decision makers preferences in the decision making. The AHP utilizes the concept of pair wise comparison to find the order of criteria (parameters) and alternatives. The comparison in a pairwise manner becomes quite tedious and complex for problems having eight alternatives or more, thereby, limiting the application of AHP. This paper presents a soft hierarchical process approach based on soft set decision making which eliminates the least promising candidate alternatives and selects the optimum(potential) ones that results in the significant reduction in the number of pairwise comparisons necessary for the selection of the best alternative using AHP, giving the approach a more realistic view. A supplier selection problem is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
