We consider a framework where decision makers (DMs) interactively define a multicriteria evaluation model by providing imprecise information (i.e., a linear system of constraints to the model s parameters) and by analyzing the consequences of the information provided. DMs may introduce new constraints explicitly or implicitly (results that the model should yield). If a new constraint is incompa...

We propose a decision-aiding evaluation procedure (i) for classifying road crossings based on their impact on walkability and, subsequently, (ii) for prioritising street improvements, in urban-rural fringe areas. In the peripheral urban-rural fringes, pedestrian mobility is usually less developed and people generally depend more on cars for their everyday chores. Partly this is inevitable given...

Land-use planners oftenmake complex decisions within a short period of time when they must take into account sustainable development and economic competitiveness. A set of land-use suitability maps would be very useful in this respect. Ideally, these maps should incorporatecomplexcriteria integrating several stakeholders’ points of view. To illustrate the feasibility of this approach, a land su...

Lojistik faaliyetlerinin etkinliğinde depolama süreçleri önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çerçevede, doğru yönetilemeyen işletmeler için zaman kaybı ve yüksek maliyetler oluşturabileceğini ifade etmek mümkündür. Dolayısıyla, şekillerini planlamayı, daha da önemlisi depo yönetimi algısını oluşturmayı başarmak zorundadırlar. Depolama alanlarında ki optimizasyon çalışmalarının giderek artması algısını...

We consider the problem of assigning alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories C1,C2, . . . ,Cp . This problem is known as the multi-criteria sorting problem and arises in many situations such as classifying countries into different risk levels based on economical and socio-political criteria, evaluating credit applications of bank customers. We are interested in sortin...

Land-use planning, as concerns the prevention and limitation of the consequences of possible major accidents from industrial installations, is an essential mechanism for dealing with actual or potential conflicts between sources of risk, such as potentially hazardous industrial developments, and surrounding land-uses. The objective of this paper is to present a decision making methodology that ...

Various software tools implementing Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods have appeared over the last decades. Although MCDA methods share common features, most of the implementing software have been developed independently from scratch. Majority of the tools have a proprietary storage format and exchanging data among software is cumbersome. Common data exchange standard would be u...

A comparative study of ranking river basin planning and development alternatives under a multi-criterion environment, including both qualitative and quantitative aspects using ELECTRE and RANFUW methodologies, is presented in this paper. The purpose is to find the most suitable planning for reservoirs with their associated purposes aimed at the sustained development of one of the major peninsul...

tract: ELECTRE II and III methods enjoy a wide acceptance in solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) lems. Research results in this paper reveal that there are some compelling reasons to doubt the correctness of roposed rankings when the ELECTRE II and III methods are used. In a typical test we first used these ods to determine the best alternative for a given MCDM problem. Next we random...
