This work focusses on two major aspects of public decision-making and policy analysis. First, to present a set-up for multi-criteria decision analysis (under certainty) based on interactive soul searching between the decision maker and the decision analyst (consultant) in which the decision maker repeatedly reveals his value judgement on a number of conflicting objectives and organizes his choice process in an adaptive fashion.Second, to show the usefulness of this kind of approach for practical decision-making and resource planning. Multi-criteria decision analysis has found applications in diverse fields, related to public policy decisions. But this work is probably the first comprehensive attempt to apply multi-criteria decision analysis to the choice of modes of health care delivery as a public decision problem.

Land evaluation is a process that is aimed at the sustainable development of agricultural production in rural areas, especially in developing countries. Therefore, land evaluation involves many aspects of natural conditions, economic, and social issues. This research was conducted in a hilly region of Central Vietnam to assess the land suitability of potential agricultural land use types that are based on scientific and local knowledge. In the frame of this research, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA); Analytical Hierarchy Analysis (AHP); Geographic Information System (GIS); and, scoring based scientific literature and local knowledge were applied for Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for land use evaluation. The results of the PRA survey reveal that five plants offer great agricultural potential in the research area, namely rice, cassava, acacia, banana, and rubber. The land suitability of each plant type varies, depending on physical conditions as well as economic and social aspects. Acacia and cassava represent the most suitable plant types in the research area. Recommendations regarding agricultural land use planning in the A Luoi district are brought forward based on the land evaluation results. The combination of scientific and local knowledge in land assessment based on GIS technology, AHP, and PRA methods is a promising approach for land evaluation.

As mining and environmental regulations continue to get tighter on mine closure and reclamation, the choice of an optimal post mining land use becomes critical if mining companies are to continue enjoying the peaceful co-existence they have with their local communities. In this study, possible mine closure alternatives have been identified as suitable for the Salman south pit of Adamus Resources Limited in the Western Region of Ghana. These alternatives are: arable farm land; timber production; shrubs and native forestation; aquaculture; water reservoir; land fill; and recreational site (park). Effective consideration has been given to the identified technical, environmental, economic, and social criteria to assist in the determination of the optimal choice among the identified suitable closure alternatives. Using the Preference Ranking Organisation Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) technique of multi-criteria decision analysis, it was observed from the results that arable farmland was the most preferred choice followed very closely by timber production. Others like aquaculture, recreational site (park), shrubs and native forestation, water reservoir, and landfill followed in a decreasing order. In order to satisfy all the various stakeholders in the mine closure process, it is therefore recommended that arable farmland and/or timber production be adopted as the optimal post mining land use for the study area.
