Pollutants inside at houses are smoking, gas combustion, use of solvents, household cleaning chemicals, emissions from building materials, and contamination of the exterior aggravates the inside of the house. In this article, we conducted a study to select the best air purifier equipment for an urban house. The selection was carried out by applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology...
Social conflicts in the world have increased, due to the fact that the natural resources is being over exploited. In this work, we conducted a social conflict analysis using the entropy-weight method, which is based on Shannon entropy theory. The case study was conducted on a mining project allocated in northern Peru. The rural population and urban population stakeholder groups were analyzed under...
Citizen criminality has become an important social problem in Lima city, due to the fact that the number of crimes has increased. In this study, we conducted a citizen criminality assessment using the grey clustering method, which is based on grey systems theory. The case study was conducted on 32 districts from Lima, Peru. Consequently, a map on the citizen criminality situation was obtained. The...
The semiarid areas of Manabí province in Ecuador are notably decertified due to overgrazing for animal production. In this study, a selection of the best alternative plants as food for livestock using the entropy-weight method, which is based on Shannon entropy theory, is developed. The entropy-weight method was applied to calculate the criteria weights; and then, the studied plants were ranked according...
Social impact assessment (SIA) has become an important factor for social conflicts prevention. In this study, we conducted SIA using the center-point triangular whitenization weight functions (CTWF) method, which is based on grey systems theory. A case study was conducted on a hydrocarbon exploration project located in the Gulf of Valencia, Spain. Two stakeholder groups and four evaluation criteria...
One of research areas of Systems Engineering is software development; for which, high level of programming using different languages is required. Therefore, students have basic, intermediate, and advanced programming courses, within their curriculum; currently these courses have a high rate of disapproval. In this article, we develop a case study on the programming course of systems engineering degree...
Environmental conflict analysis (henceforth ECA) has become a key factor for the viability of projects and welfare of affected populations. In this study, we propose an approach for ECA using an integrated grey clustering and entropy-weight method (The IGCEW method). The case study considered a mining project in northern Peru. Three stakeholder groups and seven criteria were identified. The data were...
