Evaluation of land use-transportation systems with the Analytic Network Process

The Analytic Network Process

Abstract   The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the inter...

Knowledge management in higher education is a set of organizational processes that support creating and transferring the knowledge in these institutions and allows for achieving organizational and university objectives. Therefore, for the proper management of organizational knowledge, appropriate tools are needed to be able to be aware of the effectiveness of knowledge management in organizatio...

Evaluation of Alternative Construction Sites with Analytic Network Process Method

In evaluating housing projects, developers often have several sites as alternatives for development. Assessing each site so as to identify the best for implementation is their most important decision in the project planning stage. The traditional net present worth method has difficulty in including intangible benefits and risks, so the result of it may not represent the overall value of an alte...

Evaluation of land suitability for irrigation using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

Use of new techniques to evaluate irrigation areas can enhance water use efficiency in agriculture. In this study, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy Process (FAHP) was used to qualitative land suitability for sprinkler irrigation and was compared with the parametric method. Evaluation based on parametric method showed that an area of about 1597.83 hectares (31%) of the lands was highly suitable (S1)...
