A green building is an outcome of a design philosophy which focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use. This paper presents a conceptual model in simulating the risk behaviors of decision makers in influencing the decision making of selecting green building designs by using 3 difference processes including benefit-cost analysis, multi-criteria decision-making, and Nash equilibrium game....
Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) analysis has been utilized to solve many real world problems. Most research used a particular MCDM method to solve the problem in interested. Recently, some research is interested in comparing the results obtained by different MCDM methods. It is interesting to know that, given the same decision information, there exists distinguish results obtained by different...
The coastal wetlands are the geographical characteristics of the island country, and full of Ecotourism resources containing plentiful hydrological condition, biological community, organic substances or microorganisms, water breeding, etc. It is the “supermarket of ecology”. However, under the attraction of interests of economy and the rapid development of tourism industry, it brings the wetlands...
We assess the impact of accounting for nonlinearity of selected value functions to improve the multiattribute utility theory approach for transportation planning applications. Research findings were obtained by conducting a case study for investigating and improving the project evaluation and selection with the collaboration of a state-level transportation agency. A methodology based on the analytic...
Each year, there are kinds of new diseases or natural disasters that break out around the world. And, the emergency logistics system plays an important role in the process of fighting against these diseases and natural disasters. How to evaluate and optimize the emergency logistics system in contingencies is becoming the hot researching topic. This article establishes the set pair analysis model (SPAM)...
With the development of uncertain theory, fuzzy multi attribute decision making has been applicated in more and more areas. This paper established optimization model based on fuzzy ideal points for uncertain multi-attribute decision making problem in which the attribute values are given in the forms of triangular fuzzy number and the information on attribute weights is unknown completely or partly...
Comprehensive evaluation of distribute network planning is a multi-factors decision-making problem in complicated system. Combining with the factors of distribute network planning, a new comprehensive evaluation method named analytic network process (ANP) is proposed. Considering influence and restriction of the index with one another, a comprehensive evaluation model of distribute network planning...
In this paper, we analyzed the disadvantage of traditional AHP, and presented a new decision-making (MADM) method based on outranking relation and AHP. The method firstly determined weight of each attribute by AHP, then used thresholds express uncertainty of the data according to decision-maker (DM)psilas risk attitudes by outranking relation, also compared alternatives in pairs, calculated score...
A new approach is proposed for a coordination model with multiple levels. This paper explains how to obtain, decisions related with hierarchical decentralized units, through decision making, which results in a set of input/output processes that characterize a process industry. In this approach, the best global results are obtained using multicriterion decision aid methods instead of mathematical programming.
The operating theatre constitutes the most expensive sector in healthcare centres. Operating room (OR) planning is the best tool to help OR manager to administrate this sector. However, the operating theatre planning depends on the strategy carried out in the hospital. In this article, we provide the OR manager with a constructive tool allowing him/her to objectify and well define a block time allocation...
