The essence of Australian community buildings’ sustainable management drives through a previously established decision-making structure with four sustainability aspects and accompanying 18 criteria. Informed decisions are supported with a decision-making model that generates sustainability impacts of building components based on this decision-making structure. Building components’ individual impacts can be assigned using a numbering scale incorporated with linguistic terms. However, similar importance given to each aspect or criterion is arguable when the combined effect is considered. Hence, they should be given different weightings and their combination with individual impacts will produce final sustainability impacts. For calculating weightings, the study uses Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), widely used technique in Multi Attribute Decision-Making (MADM). The study also conducted an industry-wide questionnaire across Australian local councils because pair-wise comparison data is essential for weighting calculation. This paper presents the survey data and analysis results that captured weightings of sustainability aspects and criteria.

Purpose of the study: This paper aims to elaborate on how the institutional logic of public housing provision transforms from the old logic into the new logic. By encapsulating tacit-knowledge from the shift, this study focuses on how to explicate a model of multi-criteria decision-making for executing official residence projects in Indonesia. This research also aims to recuperate the future of the public residency field. Methodology: The methodology employed was a mixed method. The qualitative method was firstly applied by utilizing semi-structured interviews to build a decision-making model. Later, a quantitative method was implemented to improve the consistency of the model by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process protocols. Thirteen project representatives and ten decision-makers were being involved as the main informants. Google Sheets web-based software was applied for analyzing survey results by making use of a mathematical model for the Analytical Hierarchy Process. Main Findings: The result indicates that land not used as paddy field, fair house price, safe from flood location, serene ambiance, and developer experience has played a significant part in affecting buying decisions for residency projects. To carry out the new method, the total scores of the AHP calculation should be above 50. Otherwise, the government shall opt for the old mechanism. Applications of this study: The paper contributes to the public sector accounting field in the area of asset management and public housing procurement. The paper also gives a strong basis for the field to make use of the model of Indonesia's public housing provision. The government can adopt the research framework for choosing the new model or the old one. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study might be the only one of its kind. The research was using a multi-method to achieve the objectives. To generate a multi-criteria decision-making model, grounded data of excessive interviews were abstracted. Then the abstracted tacit-knowledge was tested with AHP to provide a consistent model.

The commercial banks (CBs) performance evaluating has been a necessary problem in currently integration trend and usually implemented by a committee of experts under criteria selected. Therefore, it is considered as a Multi - Criteria Decision - Making model (MCDM). Nowadays, there have been many researches proposing various standards and models to evaluate and rank CBs. But in Vietnam, the number of studies related to the Vietnamese banking evaluation model have still been limited. As a result, this study develops a multi-criteria decision model integrating Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS). The proposed model has evaluated and ranked five Vietnamese commercial banks including CTG, VCB, BIDV, TCB and MB. The paper revealed their ranks. Besides, the results of the research show that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model is suitable for applying it to the process evaluating bank performance.

There are several methods of decision making VSAT IT goods suppliers such as: Promethee, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Decision-making in the selection of the best suppliers, we have the basis of assessment criteria, and we will also be faced with more than one alternative. If alternatives are only two, maybe still easy for us to choose, but if the alternative is a lot of choice, it is quite difficult for us to decide. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a technique that was developed to help overcome this difficulty, because the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a form of decision-making model with many criteria. One of the reliability of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is able to perform simultaneous analysis and integrated between the parameters of qualitative or quantitative. In this study the authors use six criteria and alternatives 6, the results of these alternatives will be obtained perangkingan alternative used as a reference supplier selection VSAT IT goods company Total EP Indonesie


Hepatitis is a kind of inflammation which attacks the body's organ known as liver. Hepatitis itself is divided into commonly known types namely Hepatitis A, B, and C. however, there exist other types of hepatitis called D, E, G which are not familiar. The understanding of patients regarding hepatitis is an obstacle in healing. The thing that is needed is to regulate diet and avoid foods that are prohibited (high sodium, high saturated fat, high sugar, and high protein). Hepatitis sufferers must pay attention to food patterns, must control foods consumed daily, must consume food with low salt, low saturated fat, low in sugar, and low in protein to reduce the risk of not worsening the condition of people with hepatitis. The decision making system determines the hepatitis food criterion using 5 criteria’s, namely the presence of high sodium, high saturated fat, high protein, high sugar, and high iron. While the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is a decision making model which defines the multi-factor problems or complex multi criteria into a hierarchy. With hierarchy, a complex problem could be partitioned into smaller groups which are then ordered in a hierarchy to arrange the problem in a structural and systematic way.

When the problems we face are complex and affect each other, then the decision making process is more difficult. In most cases we apply established policies or choices without knowing which the best choice is. To make appropriate decisions that can solve the problems encountered should be analyzed very well the reasons that create problems and their reciprocal influence. AHP helps the decision of the people who will decide the problem by taking a hierarchical structure evaluation, opinions, experiences and all information about this problem. This flexible structure enables analytical feelings and instincts to organize and align with a shape that resembles human logic. Thus this analytical flexible structure, allowing to adjust the paper instead of the mind, gives people the opportunity to intervene in the most difficult problems and complex.
