This study aims to classify consumers in the selection of houses using Fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM) method based on data mining. Alternative houses provided there are four of the minimalist houses, contemporary modern homes, classical houses, and traditional ethnic houses. To generate these choices, there are five criteria: price criteria, home/type criteria, interior criteria, exterior criteria, and home environmental criteria. The results of this study can help system users in determining the choice of home type based on the user's tastes of the criteria available and also can help the investors and contractors in building houses, villas, hotels, and housing of the criteria.

Selection of a particular agricultural crop for the food production is a complexproblem. This is usually conditioned not only by the financial claims, but also otherrequirements should be taken into the account, i.e. environmental criteria,sustainability, etc. Fuzzy Logicis one of the many appropriate tools/procedures forsolving such task(s).Such a procedure will be implemented within decision-makingalgorithm for the selection of an appropriate agricultural crop. The paper deals withthe implementation of the mentioned tool/procedure for selection and ranking ofthe particular sort of crops, regarding different decision-making structures. Withinthis, there is an intention to reduce all possible biases and subjectivities tominimum by using Fuzzy Logic. This will be applied with input parameters, whichare extracted and correlated with real requirements and conditions regarding actualneeds of the market and farmers. Along with the offered agricultural crops andpossibility of their selection, final ranking and selection of the most appropriatecrop can be supported for different possible scenarios (dry or wet period of theyear, accents on the financial, environmental of other criteria, available financialresources, market availability, etc.). Presented methodology will contribute to thefinal goal, which is systematic agricultural planting and sustainability of the foodproduction.

Decision making is the selection of one of the various alternative actions available. In choosing an alternative, management requires precise and accurate information to reduce the possibility of failure of decisions that will be taken by the company. Differential accounting information is very suitable to be used in the selection of several alternatives. The purpose of this study is to determine whether differential accounting information can be used as a decision-making tool so that companies can decide whether to rent or buy a building as a place to operate its branch offices. This research uses descriptive qualitative method by collecting data through interviews and documentation. The results showed that differential accounting information as a decision-making tool can be applied at PT. BPR Millenia Paal Dua Branch Office and the cost to rent a building is lower than buying a building.

This chapter addresses the main issues that are worth considering when using environmental criteria in a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) context and provides some guidance for a proper and efficient use of environmental criteria in a MCDM context. Among the main issues considered in this chapter, we can mention the definition and representation of criteria, their weighting, and their selection. The relation of criterion to other notions such as attribute, objective, goal, and indicator is also explained. Regarding the environmental criteria, we emphasize their main characteristics and indicate how these characteristics can support the users in selecting appropriate MCDM methods. An illustrative example about the selection of the best scenario for the treatment of a vacuum cleaner at the end of its life cycle is given. It shows the type of reverse supply chain problems in which environmental criteria can be used to evaluate and compare alternatives.
