Penerapan konsep pembangunan kelautan dan perikanan yang berbasis blue economy (BE) merupakan langkah strategis dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan kelautan dan perikanan. Konsepsi BE bertujuan untuk menciptakan suatu industri yang ramah lingkungan, sehingga bisa tercipta pengelolaan sumberdaya alam yang lestari dan berkelanjutan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi kondisi terkini dan langkah-langkah strategis pengembangan perikanan budidaya berbasis BE di Indonesia. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret-Oktober 2014. Data dikumpulkan dari lima lokasi yaitu: Provinsi Lampung, Jawa Timur, Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat, dan Sulawesi Selatan, serta Kabupaten Sumbawa. Pengumpulan data dan informasi dilakukan melalui wawancara dengan menggunakan kuisioner terstruktur yang disusun dengan pendekatan Analytic Hierarchy Process. Analisis Strength Weakness Opportunities Threat (SWOT) dilakukan untuk melihat aspek-aspek yang mempengaruhi pengembangan perikanan budidaya yang berbasis BE. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan BE di bidang perikanan budidaya masih harus diperkaya dengan kerangka kebijakan kelautan dan perikanan, termasuk didalamnya ketersediaan teknologi perikanan budidaya yang prospektif, peningkatan sumberdaya manusia, sosialisasi konsepsi BE, dan penerapan perikanan budidaya yang mampu mengakomodasi prinsip-prinsip BE. (Analysis of Aquaculture Development Based on Blue Economy Concept Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Approach)The implementation of blue economy (BE) concept for development of marine and fisheries sectors is a strategic step for marine and fisheries programs. The aim of BE conception is to promote an environmental friendly industrial based, so it can create natural resources management and sustainable used. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the current conditions and strategic plans for aquaculture development based on BE concept in Indonesia. The study was carried out during March-October 2014. Data were collected from five locations: Lampung, East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi, and Sumbawa Regency. Interviews using a structured questionnaire based on the analytical hierarchy process approach were used for gathering data and information. SWOT analysis was also conducted to analyse aspects that affect the development of BE based aquaculture. The results of this study indicated that the application of BE in the field of aquaculture remains to be enriched with marine and fisheries policy framework, including the availability of prospective aquaculture technology, improving human resources capability, socialization of BE conception, and implementation of aquaculture which could accommodate the principles of BE.

Dikembangkannya Rekomender Sistem Layanan Kesehatan bertujuan untuk membantu masyarakat dalam menentukan tempat pelayanan kesehatan terbaik untuk dikunjungi. Pemilihan tempat layanan kesehatan didasarkan pada kriteria kualitas pelayanan, jarak tempuh pengguna dari tempat pelayanan dan rating dari tempat pelayanan. Masalah yang dihadapi adalah bagaimana menentukan tempat layanan kesehatan terbaik dengan kriteria yang bersifat subjektif atau tidak pasti dengan cepat. Sistem rekomendasi layanan kesehatan dibangun menggunakan metode F-AHP (Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process) yakni pengembangan dari metode AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) yang dapat mengatasi kriteria bersifat subjektif atau tidak pasti dengan cepat. Sistem rekomendasi layanan kesehatan yang diterapkan pada perangkat mobile, memudahkan pengguna untuk mendapatkan rekomendasi tempat pelayanan kesehatan berdasarkan kriteria kualitas pelayanan, jarak tempuh dan rating tempat pelayanan, serta mencari informasi tempat pelayanan kesehatan sampai dengan menangani masalah pemesanan nomor antrian dan pembayaran. Penelitian ini menghasilkan sebuah sistem rekomendasi layanan kesehatan berbasis mobile menggunakan metode Fuzzy AHP.

The recent hype in online purchasing has skyrocketed the importance of the electronic commerce (e-commerce) industry. One of the core segments of this industry is business-to-consumer (B2C) where businesses use their websites to sell products and services directly to consumers. Thus, it must be taken care of that B2C websites are designed in a way which can build a trustworthy and long-term relationship between businesses and consumers. Thus, this study assesses and prioritizes factors for designing a successful B2C e-commerce website. The study employs multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), and to minimize any ambiguity and greyness in the decision-making, it integrates fuzzy and grey respectively with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to form FAHP and TOPSIS-Grey. Initially, the study conducts a thorough literature survey to screen important factors reported in past studies. Five main factors and nineteen sub-factors were selected for further prioritization. Later, FAHP prioritized factors based on their importance. Finally, based on the FAHP results, TOPSIS-Grey ranked five alternatives (e-commerce websites). FAHP revealed “service quality” as the most successful website designing factor, while TOPSIS-Grey reported “Website-3” as the most successful website, having incorporated the factors required to design a successful website.

Natural gas reserves have been recently found offshore of Cyprus. Hence, a new energy sector is under development, creating potential for raised welfare for the small insular EU member. Several social and economic benefits could be achieved from the resources’ exploitation. However, natural gas is a non-renewable energy source, connected with the major environmental issues of fossil fuels. The research goal of this work was to evaluate the sustainability of the new hydrocarbons sector. This was attained using a set of indicators, developed from the combination of PESTEL (Political, Economic, Technical, Social, Environmental, Legal) and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analyses. These were quantified using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) weighting method. They were pairwise compared and evaluated, resulting to a size for each one. The judgements of four evaluators, representing diverse interested parties, were used. The strengths and opportunities of the sector were found to be more than the weaknesses and threats. The relevant indicators quantification demonstrates also that the value of the positives is higher than the negatives. Therefore, if the first are enhanced and the latter are mitigated, there is sustainability potential. The sectors environmental issues are evaluated as the most important, followed by the economic. The other takes lower but comparatively significant values, and must be handled accordingly. These results lead to useful conclusions and could be exploited for decision-making and policies formulation.
