Atrocities against stray animal’s especially large number of scavenging street dogs have increased at an alarming rate nationwide. Relevant authorities, in view of controlling stray animal population and curb chronic infections mulled cracking down on stray dogs using inhumane methods such as usage of tranquilizers or forcefully capturing. Thus, causing injuries, trauma and potentially death to these captured strays. Even though statistics about the number of violent incidents against strays remains unknown but animal welfare groups report constant complaints regarding animal cruelty. Animal activists mooted a request to design and built a modernize efficient yet low cost trap cage with a provision of technology which are normally ignored by many quarters; as a vehicle to educate the public on humane and compassionate ways to treat stray animals.   The design of the cage involves consists of 3 parts, which was electronics hardware, communication system and critically the structure hardware whereby to withstand the possible aggressiveness of the animal. The objective of this paper is to present and apply the techniques of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in the prioritization and selection of design criteria of the trap cage. The finding shows that out of 5 design criteria, quality criteria is the most important criteria in designing of a humane trap cage issue. This is followed by innovativeness, cost, safety and aesthetics factors.

The online-based or ride-hailing service business in Indonesia continues to develop and metamorphose into multifunctional transportation services, this development makes it difficult for customers to determine alternatives to the top two ride hailing services, namely Goride and Grabbike. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to make decisions based on performance, service, security, price, promo and branding criteria to determine the best and make it easier to choose the transportation. The method used is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model with the help of Super Decisions software. The data sampling technique was carried out by distributing online questionnaires of 100 respondents to the public using transportation services. The results of this research indicate criteria and alternatives. Shows the Safety Criteria 36.02%, Service Criteria 23.73%, Price Criteria 16.36%, Promo Criteria 11.29%, Performance Criteria 7.79%, Branding Criteria 4.81%. It seems that security is the most important factor for potential customers because it is related to customer safety, while the two most popular alternatives to Goride and Grabbike are Grabbike. Where GrabBike is superior in terms of cheap prices per kilometer and good branding and everywhere, while Gojek excels in terms of services provided to customers.

The demand for a service includes generally two major components; quality elements and the reasonable and affordable price. Public transport can be considered as a special service, there is no direct market competition for the provider, but the use of private transport modes substitutes the usage of public vehicles. The dominating competitor, the usage of private cars, causes higher CO2 emission and has a serious impact on the environment. Thus, it is important to analyze from market and sustainability point of view which are the preferences of the public for the improvement of the urban transport system. This paper aims to conduct this analysis by including quality criteria and transport fare criteria related to the current service of a city and by setting up and testing a generally applicable model for decision support. Since the acquisition of public preference was the primary objective, and the problem can be considered as decision making, the Analytic Hierarchy Process was selected as methodology. There are previous research results of applying this method on public transport, however, not in an integrated model, in which quality and cost considerations are pairwise compared. Thus, the conventional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique was used and the well-proven requisites of consistency and sensitivity check were analyzed. The new model was tested in a case study: surveying the public transport demand in the capital of Jordan, Amman.

Selection of the appropriate composition desalination units can be done with a variety of method approaches, one of the method is the Analytic Hierarchy Process. In determining the desalination unit with AHP method to consider is setting a goal, an alternative criteria and pairwise comparison. Research for the determination of the exact composition of the desalination unit in order to achieve sustainable drinking water suppy in coastal areas and small islands has been conducted. The results of the study are as follows, the energy demand of 50.83%, operator costs of 26.64%, maintenance costs of 14.13% and chemical requirement 8.4%. For an alternative composition desalination unit of RO 10 m3 / day is the best alternative composition with value of 59.61%, the composition of the next alternative is RO 20 m3/ day of 30.40% and the last alternative of the desalination unit composition is RO 120 m3/ day of 09.99%.Key words : Desalination, Mukti Stage Flash Composition, AHP

This study was conducted to assist in the selection of martial assistant coach, to determine who is right. Its results will didadaptkan by comparing the two methods in the decision support system, by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Simple Additive Weight (SAW) in limiting the problems in producing the desired solution, using multiple criteria (multi-criteria). AHP and SAW has a different way of doing the calculation. This is done to determine which method is looking for help in making decisions. And in this study are the criteria Discipline, Knowledge, Leadership, Attitude, and Level. And there are sub criteria on Level, which Black (AND I) and Red Black II.

<p class="ber"><span lang="EN-GB">The purpose of this study was to examine the influencing factors of the adoption intention of mobile banking from a bank perspective. The survey data were conducted from a selection of mobile banking, and were analyzed by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision analysis to explore adoption intentions in the context of mobile banking. The results of the AHP decision analysis revealed that the “convenience” and the “personalization” were the most important factors for mobile banking from a bank’s perspective. Furthermore, the research findings illustrated theoretical and practical implications for mobile banking development and indicated how to reinforce the “location-based benefits” and the “transaction speed” in order to create customer adoption intentions via a bank perspective.</span></p>
