Abstract Geoarcheology is a term used to describe the work of experts who deal with the archeological record and combine the expertise of their different disciplines, mainly archeology and geology. Because such scientists have different educational backgrounds and use different research methods it was expected that they might value archeological sites (or geoarchaeological geosites) somewhat differently. The principal aim of this study is to show the results of the application of a GAM’s (Geosite Assessment Model) main values, rank indicators and sub-indicators according to the experts’ preferences and attitudes, as it was presumed that they are not of the same importance. For this purpose, the authors used a AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), widely used in decision-making analysis, to define the criteria weights and rank the indicators. Two main groups of expert respondents, geoscientists and archeologists, were surveyed and gave their criteria weights. The results obtained by application of the AHP showed that there is a difference in indicator weights. While both groups gave their highest value to the scientific/educational indictor, the geoscientists gave their higher rank to the scenic/aesthetic rather than to the protection indicator, the archeologists ranked them opposite, and gave their higher rank to the protection indicator and lowest rank to the scenic/aesthetic indicator. This paper further provides information on group decision or consensus on weights and shows the final rankings for both groups, which are further examined and discussed.

Hierarchy Process

Increasing population growth also contributes to the increasing need for homes or dwellings as basic human needs. Many ways people do to meet these needs, among others, by buying from someone else, building it yourself or by buying a house in a housing developer. Houses besides being a basic human need, it is also used as an indicator of one's success and as an asset for business development and an increase in the economic value of the owner. Prospective home buyers certainly have criteria that are considered in choosing a house. Many of the existing criteria are often followed by the availability of more than one choice of the house to be able to meet these criteria. Therefore, the writer tries to try to make a Decision Support System in a Home Purchase that will later help prospective home buyers in deciding which house to buy. The decision-making method used in this system is an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) as a form of decision-making model that is suitable for multi-criteria and multi-alternative problems with the main input being human perception. Combined with the Borda method which is one method of group decision making that can combine the results of perceptual analysis (the results of AHP analysis) from several decision makers. it is necessary to have a group decision-making technique (group decision support system). So that the resulting home purchase decision can be accepted by all decision makers (family). From the results of the calculation and voting process, House X was chosen with 9 votes.   Keywords: Home Purchase, Analytical Hierarchy Process, Borda

Abstract. The increase in the number of vehicles with the increasing population has caused the problem of parking insufficiency. This problem necessitate situation analysis of existing parking areas and site selection analyses for new parking areas. It is possible to make suitable site selections with spatial analysis supported by Geographic Information System (GIS). In this study, available parking areas in Selçuklu district of Konya province were evaluated and suitable parking areas were determined in line with the needs. The criteria affecting the parking areas site selection were determined and the importance levels of the criteria were detected by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. Density analyses were carried out with GIS and suitable parking areas map was produced considering the criteria weights obtained.

Dunia  pendidikan  telah  mengalami  evolusi  secara  kontinyu.  Salah  satu faktor  pemicunya  adalah  kompetisi  antar  perguruan  tinggi  yang  semakin  ketat. Oleh karena itu pemasaran menjadi unsur yang strategis dalam menjaga eksistensi perguruan  tinggi. Dalam membuat keputusan pemilihan strategi marketing, terdapat beberapa kriteria yang perlu dipertimbangkan, diantaranya adalah biaya, waktu, tingkat pengaruh, capaian target dan lain sebagianya. Pada perguruan tinggi swasta pengambilan keputusan terkait strategi marketing tidak hanya ditentukan oleh bagian Humas saja, akan tetapi  harus meminta pertimbangan dari pihak manajemen dan yayasan pemilik perguruan tinggi. Berdasarkan  kompleknya permasalahan  yang  dihadapi,  diperlukan  sebuah  sistem pendukung  keputusan  kelompok  atau  Group  Decision  Support  System  (GDSS) dalam menentukan strategi marketing pergurauan tinggi.  Pada  penelitian  ini,  penulis  mengajukan  GDSS  menggunakan metode Analytical  Hierarchy Process (AHP) yang mendukung model Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) dan  Technique for  Order  Preference by  Similarity  to  Ideal  Solution  (TOPSIS)  sebagai  model  untuk  pengambilan keputusan. Penggunaan  GDSS  pada penelitian ini bertujuan  untuk  mengakomodir  penilaian  lebih  dari  satu  evaluator  dan meningkatkan  kualitas  keputusan.  Dengan  demikian  diharapkan  penilaian  yang dilakukan lebih obyektif, karena tidak dilakukan oleh satu pihak saja. Perangkat lunak yang dibangun dari hasil penelitian ini diharapkan  mempermudah dan mempercepat dalam menentukan strategi marketing perguruan tinggi.

Final Calculation

Differences in interest in decision making are one of the things that must be facilitated in decision support applications. The most basic difference of interest in decision making is the difference in the weight of the importance of each criterion used. Each decision maker has their own interest in the criteria used. If these differences can be facilitated properly, the resulting decision recommendations can be optimal, in this case more in line with the interests of the users. The model is designed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weight (SAW) methods, using 5 criteria. The final result of the AHP method is in the form of criteria weights that are in accordance with the interests of decision makers and in accordance with the consistency of the comparisons that have been given. The resulting weight will be used in the final calculation of SAW, namely in the calculation of alternative weights. By using AHP, the weight of the criteria becomes more subjective according to the interests of decision makers. Thus, the resulting alternative recommendations become more optimal because they are in accordance with the needs of decision makers.

Criteria Weights

The environment in which the decision-making process takes place is often characterized by uncertainty and vagueness and, because of that, sometimes it is very hard to express the criteria weights with crisp numbers. Therefore, the application of the Grey System Theory, i.e., grey numbers, in this case, is very convenient when it comes to determination of the criteria weights with partially known information. Besides, the criteria weights have a significant role in the multiple criteria decision-making process. Many ordinary multiple criteria decision-making methods are adapted for using grey numbers, and this is the case in this article as well. A new grey extension of the certain multiple criteria decision-making methods for the determination of the criteria weights is proposed. Therefore, the article aims to propose a new extension of the Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and PIvot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment (PIPRECIA) methods adapted for group decision-making. In the proposed approach, attitudes of decision-makers are transformed into grey group attitudes, which allows taking advantage of the benefit that grey numbers provide over crisp numbers. The main advantage of the proposed approach in relation to the use of crisp numbers is the ability to conduct different analyses, i.e., considering different scenarios, such as pessimistic, optimistic, and so on. By varying the value of the whitening coefficient, different weights of the criteria can be obtained, and it should be emphasized that this approach gives the same weights as in the case of crisp numbers when the whitening coefficient has a value of 0.5. In addition, in this approach, the grey number was formed based on the median value of collected responses because it better maintains the deviation from the normal distribution of the collected responses. The application of the proposed approach was considered through two numerical illustrations, based on which appropriate conclusions were drawn.

Information is one of the important assets for the survival of an organization / business, defense security and the integrity of the country, public trust between consumers, so that the availability, accuracy and integrity must be maintained, or commonly abbreviated as CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability). ISO 27001 is an information security standard published in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). However, until now there has been no tool for companies in Indonesia to do a pre-assessment of the level of information security. Plus the lack of socialization of the rules and the lack of ISO 270001 expert in Indonesia, these are reason why the authors conducted this research. The author begins research by collecting data, by studying literature and interviewing experts to identify problems. After that, in its implementation, this research will be directed (knowledge acquisition) and reviewed directly by an ISO 27001 expert from The British Standard Institution of the United Kingdom (BSI) so that the results are more accurate. After that, the writer determines the weighting method (decision making), scoring method, system development method, and simulation method (testing). The results of the study are in the form of pre-assessment to evaluate the information security assessment index, which will be displayed according to indicators pioneered from ISO 27001: 2013 using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) decision-making methods, as well as web-based making it easier to review.
