The purpose of this research is to know the implementation of park and ride at BekasiStation. The method of analysis in this research is the assessment of parking performance based onstandards and parking user perception with Kano-model, and the Analytic-Hierarchy-Process(AHP) to analyze the implementation of park and ride at Bekasi Station. The results show thatparking performance doesn’t meet the standard. The problem of parking performance at BekasiStation are view from two perspectives, namely: the peak accumulation which is more than itscapacity and parking index which is more than 1 (one). Improved performance based on userperception parking with Kano Model, the main priority is obvious parking lines and the parkingstandard. The priority of implemention of park and ride at Bekasi Station is provideparking28.48%. From the results of this research, the writter recommends to build a parking in conformitywith the parking user’s perception for short term solution and the implementation of park and ridefor the long term solution.

Objectives: To identify early suicide risk signs on depressive subjects, so that specialized care can be provided. Various studies have focused on studying expressions on social networks, where users pour their emotions, to determine if they show signs of depression or not. However, they have neglected the quantification of the risk of committing suicide. Therefore, this article proposes a new index for identifying suicide risk in Mexico. Methodology: The proposal index is constructed through opinion mining using Twitter and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Contribution: Using R statistical package, a study is presented considering real data, making a classification of people according to the obtained index and using information from psychologists. The proposed methodology represents an innovative prevention alternative for suicide.

Urbanization is a challenge faced by most countries worldwide and leads to several problems. Due to rapid communication capabilities, conforming the megacities into Ubiquitous cities (U-cities) seems to be a potential solution to mitigate the problems caused by urbanization. Extensive reliance and dependencies of U-cities on information and communication technologies (ICTs) bring forth a new set of risks and vulnerabilities to these megacities. This research investigates the vulnerabilities of ICTs against man-made and natural hazards in a systematic way using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The study identifies the vulnerabilities of different ICTs in U-cities and helps in improving the system’s resistivity against various hazards. The task is performed by evaluating the level of disruption on the different technologies and areas under the identified man-made and natural hazards. The research provides an insight into the working mechanisms of involved ICTs. It also helps to manage U-cities with more secure and sustainable services. The research identified that the new ICTs-based hazards have emerged and have become among the most influential hazards. The research has concluded that the vulnerabilities of U-cities are significantly different from that of conventional cities and need further studies to develop further understandings. The research recommends similar vulnerability studies for regional areas as well.
