Long-term care hospitals for the elderly are places for the elderly and patients with impaired mobility to live in, but these places face a high risk of great damage in the event of a fire. The standards for fire safety at long-term care hospitals for the elderly are limited to inspection of firefighting facilities and training plans, with no index to evaluate the evacuation plans, facilities for evacuation in case of fire, and the fire response manuals of long-term care hospitals for the elderly. Therefore, this study tries to carry out a basic analysis and establish fire safety evaluation indices for long-term care hospitals for the elderly. To that end, the study derives the importance and priorities of the indices related to fire safety in long-term care hospitals for the elderly through an analytic hierarchy process questionnaire surveying 44 firefighting experts. Finally, considering the importance and priorities of the indices, this study presents fire safety evaluation standards (drafts) for long-term care hospitals for the elderly.

The halal industry in restaurant chain is lacking a rating system that would help the consumers to choose their preferences and enhance the halal integrity. In this regard, as a first step to develop a halal compliance rating (HCR) tool, the objective of this research is to identify and select the components of best halal practices for restaurants. This was achieved by reviewing existing relevant rating systems, standards, and research papers. The selected ten components were weighed by applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method of decision making through the participation of 15 experts where the maximum priority was given to �Hygiene and Food Safety (HFS)� component with a weightage of 22.3%. The least priority was given to �Branding, Packaging, and Labelling (BPL)� with a weightage of 4.4%. The consistency ratio was checked as 0.015. Additionally, the study investigates the auditable and measurable areas of the selected ten HCR components.

In order to maintain a safe and suitable state of civil airports, it is necessary to conduct an airport operation safety evaluation. Aiming at uncertainty of airport operation safety evaluation and the deficiencies of analytic hierarchy process, we propose an improved analytic hierarchy process for solving this problem. By estimating the spectral radius of the interval judgment matrix and using it as shift, we propose an interval inverse power method with shift, and apply this algorithm to airport operation safety evaluation. The numerical examples show that this method can comprehensively consider the certainty and uncertainty of airport safety evaluation and compute the combined weight and relative importance of the evaluating indicators. Our method is more flexible and effective than traditional method, and is very suitable for uncertainty evaluation of airport operation safety.
