<p>This study focuses on the mapping of vulnerable areas to agricultural pollution of Bonoua area where groundwater are envisaged to support the District of Abidjan. Thus to achieve this, the methodological approach adopted involve the use of GIS functionality combined with multi-criteria analysis method. The analysis of groundwater vulnerability map to nitrate in the region of Bonoua highlights five vulnerability classes ranging from very low to very high. The class of "medium vulnerability" is the most dominant and represents 44.21% of the mapped areas. This vulnerability map was validated using the measured nitrate levels in groundwater.</p>

Spatial and traffic planning is important in order to achieve a quality, safe, functional, and integrated urban environment. Different tools and expert models were developed that are aimed at a more objective view of the consequences of reconstruction in different spatial and temporal ranges while respecting selection criteria. In this paper we analyze the application of the multi-criteria analysis method when choosing sustainable traffic solutions in the center of a small town, in this case Belišće, Croatia. The goal of this paper is to examine the possibility of improving the methodology for selecting an optimal spatial–traffic solution by combining the quantifiable results of the traffic microsimulation and the method of multi-criteria optimization. Socially sensitive design should include psychological and social evaluation criteria that are included in this paper as qualitative spatial–urban criteria. In the optimization process, different stakeholder groups (experts, students, and citizens) were actively involved in evaluating the importance of selected criteria. The analysis of stakeholders’ survey results showed statistically significant differences in criteria preference among three groups. The AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) multi-criteria analysis method was used; a total of five criteria groups (functional, safety, economic, environmental, and spatial–urban) were developed, which contain 21 criteria and 7 sub-criteria; and the weights of criteria groups were varied based on stakeholders’ preferences. The application of the developed methodology enabled the selection of an optimal solution for the improvement of traffic conditions in a small city with the potential to also be applied to other types of traffic–spatial problems and assure sustainable traffic planning.

Supplier’s management plays an important role in cost and quality performance of purchasing companies.  This important role has provided the growth of studies on the application of multi-criteria analysis method in manufacturing companies, although, with less impact on the services sector, mainly in the healthcare sector. For that reason, this research aimed to show the results of Fuzzy AHP multi-criteria analysis method application in a university teaching hospital, with the purpose of improving the operation and internal management of pharmacy suppliers.  Among the main results and contributions of the research, it is an elaborated description of each step of the method, followed by contextualization of the sector, revealing the application of fuzzy inference in the analysis of variables mostly qualitative in this specific sector. The findings of this study can provide the managers with valuable insights into the dimensions that reflect decision making when choosing suppliers in the setting of a university teaching hospital. By knowing these criteria, hospitals can increase their quality of service by selecting the best supply options for medical and hospital supplies, providing better service to patients.

Abstrak. Perubahan kapasitas simpan air pada suatu DAS dapat mengakibatkan ketidakseimbangan antara ketersediaan dan kebutuhan air untuk kegiatan pertanian maupun non pertanian. Metode analisis neraca air merupakan suatu metode yang dapat mengetahui tingkat daya dukung suatu DAS terutama perubahan kapasitas simpan air untuk pengisian air tanah sehingga dapat memberikan rekomendasi upaya pengelolaan limpasan dan pengisian air tanah khususnya di wilayah DAS Krueng Meureubo yang terletak pada koordinat geografis 04°06'-04°36' LU dan 95°06'-96°58' BT. Selama periode tahun 2007-2016 proporsi penggunaan lahan hutan di wilayah DAS Krueng Meureubo mengalami penurunan sebesar 3,12% yaitu 55,10% pada tahun 2007 dan 51,97% pada tahun 2016. Adanya perubahan proporsi penggunaan lahan hutan mengakibatnya penurunan kapasitas simpan air dari 182,84 mm pada tahun 2007 menjadi 177,99 mm pada tahun 2016 dan meningkatnya limpasan dari 821,72 mm pada tahun 2007 menjadi 833,71 mm pada tahun 2016.Analysis of Water Storage Capacity at Krueng Meureubo Watershed, AcehAbstract.The water storage capacity in a watershed could lead to an imbalance between the availability and necessity of water for agricultural and non-agricultural activities. The water balance analysis method is a method that can know the level of carrying capacity of a watershed, especially in water storage capacity for groundwater recharge. Thereafter provide the recommendations for the management of run-off and groundwater recharge, especially in the area of Krueng Meureubo watershed located at geographic coordinates 04°06'-04°36' LU and 95°06'-96°58' BT. During the period of 2007-2016, the proportion of forest area in the Krueng Meureubo watershed area decreased by 3.12% ie 55.10% in 2007 and 51.97% in 2016. Changes in the proportion of forest area resulted in a decrease in water storage capacity from 182.84 mm in 2007 to 177.99 mm in 2016 and an increase in runoff from 821.72 mm in 2007 to 833.71 mm by 2016.

Disposal of radioactive wastes has been emerged as a vital issue for Bangladesh as the country is actively working to be the nuclear power plant operating country by 2023-2024. Current study aims to find out potential sites for a near-surface disposal facility using geographic information system software and multi-criteria analysis method. Previously six regions (Region-1 to Region-6) were identified upon performing continental scale screening over the whole territory of Bangladesh. In the current study, regional scale screening has been performed over the Region-1 and Region-2 using five criteria divided into fifteen sub-criteria, namely earthquakes, wind speed, rainfall, cultivated-vegetated land, forests, buildings-facilities-build up areas (area), buildings-facilities-Industries-institutions (Point), population density, medium-broad road and railway, narrow road, power line, ground water table, surface water body and lastly flood were used in the analysis. The suitability map and relative importance weighting of these sub-criteria were determined by using geographic information system and multi-criteria analysis method. The overlay analysis was performed over suitability maps of each sub-criterion and found final suitability map of the Region-1 and Region-2. These suitability maps were divided into six category, namely excluded area, most suitable, suitable, moderately suitable, unsuitable and completely unsuitable. Nineteen potential sites with maximum and minimum area of 7.90 km2 and 1.15 km2 were identified from these most suitable and suitable areas. Detailed field investigation and site characterization are needed to be performed on selected potential sites to choose a final disposal site for the low and intermediate levels of radioactive waste.

In the process of introduction of information as well as data capabilities the first approach is adding technology that can be used in many spheres for buildings and upgrading apparatus and utensils. However the focus of this study is on the deficiency of current elevators associated with efficiency and debugging of the errors or security systems where we concentrate on the introduction of new trends which advise that elevators should be implemented with intelligent devices. Smart elevators easily provide means to predict and prevent errors and bring the chances of an error to a minimum. Needless to say is that a range of negative effects are unavoidable when it comes to the introduction of new technology. This paper will illustrate both the advantages and the disadvantages of using intelligent devices in elevators and through an analysis of the various options using Multi- Criteria Analysis method perform ranking of the presented solutions.
