A fuzzy decision analysis method for integrating ecological indicators was developed. This was a combination of a fuzzy ranking method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The method was capable of ranking ecosystems in terms of environmental conditions and suggesting cumulative impacts across a large region. Using data on land cover, population, roads, streams, air pollution, and topograp...

increasing competition from global markets. Quality engineering (QE) tools and techniques are a cornerstone of continuous improvement. They have both specialist and universal applications. If they are not used in a systematic manner, quality improvements are likely to be random and spontaneous rather than comprehensive. The need for an improved understanding of the critical factors for effectiv...

Many countries aim to promote low-carbon and eco-friendly development find a route sustainable development. For such development, model that helps design build appropriate constructions is necessary. Thus, this study carried out establish by combining the Delphi method, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy logic theory (FLT) (DAFuzzy model). In expert’s opinions are reflected in three dime...

It is critical to develop a sustainable ecotourism service system for the fragile Penghu National Scenic Area in Taiwan. This study, therefore, adopted fuzzy Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) establish an index framework. The results identified four dimensions with 21 factors. findings are as follows. Safety management capability found be main factor system. Ecological diversit...

As international corporate activities increase, their staffing involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with the host country is a known cause of expatriate failure. From the point of view of an expatriate candidate, the decision of whether to take an expatriate assignment can be regarded as a FMCDM (fuzzy multiple criteria decisi...

With the increasing development of information and scientific databases, collaboration has expanded in health sciences. This study aims to prioritize criteria that affect finding potential author matches bioinformatics using fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods such as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), Triangular Numbers (TFN). To answer research q...

This paper aims to develop a benchmarking framework that evaluates the cold chain performance of a company, reveals its strengths and weaknesses and finally identifies and prioritizes potential alternatives for continuous improvement. A Delphi-AHP-TOPSIS based methodology has divided the whole benchmarking into three stages. The first stage is Delphi method, where identification, synthesis and ...

From the perspective of reducing the environmental impact, this study applies Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Delphi Method to construct a product assessment framework for early product planning and development stage to evaluate a product‟s impact and influence on the environment. This study firstly collects the environmental performance indicators through intensive literature review and ...

The County of Khorram-Abad enjoys a high potential for ecotourism because of its mountains, forests, natural mineral springs, natural waterfalls and diversity in folks and cultures. But, un-planned and uncontrolled ecotourism can have negative effects on environment, economy, culture and even the security of eco-tourists. The main purpose of this study is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decis...
