A hybrid model of two multi-criteria decision making techniques specifically, the analytical hierarchy process method and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was proposed to select the best site for constructing an underground dam to control the groundwater table rising or water-logging in the center of Al-Zubair city, southern Iraq. Six influencing factors were selected and prepared depending on the nature of the problem to be resolved the siting of the underground dam, and data availability. These are elevation, slope, curvature, aquifer transmissivity and specific yield, and distance to the water-logging body. Applying the hybrid system proved that approximately 50% of the study area is suitable for constructing the underground dam. Due to the expected high cost of constructing an underground dam in the study area as well as the technical challenges in implementing the project, the proposed design is digging a trench with limited width (meter or half a meter) and shallow depth (not more than 5 m) and fill the hole with an impermeable material (clay for example). It is preferred to drill wells in the headwater of the dam for pumping excess water and used it for another usage.

The selection of tourist attractions is a multi-criteria decision making problem, which requires time and careful consideration to make the right decision. The proper destination selection based on human needs in a particular moment affects satisfaction in traveling. This research aims to create a decision support system for selecting tourist attractions (a case study in Kupang City) using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method. Users can input the priority scale of 9 human need attributes and then be directed to the system’s recommendations of tourist attractions. This paper also compares fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method with the original analytic hierarchy process calculations. The result shows that both methods can be a solution for multi-criteria decision making, but the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method performs a more optimal solution for cases with uncertainty in comparisons between elements.

Road safety is one of the influential factors in reducing road accidents and the resulting injuries and fatalities. The aim of this study is to determine the safety position of the roads of the Bushehr province based on various quantitative and qualitative criteria. For this purpose, a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach has been utilized. In this approach, first all criteria influencing road safety in the Bushehr province were classified into main and sub-criteria groups and their weights were obtained using Group Analytic Hierarchy Process (GAHP). Then, the rankings of the Bushehr province roads were calculated through the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The results indicate that during the period of investigation, the roads of Bushehr-Borazjan and Borazjan-Genaveh were the best with minor difference and Deylem-Behbahan road was the worst road of this province. In this regard, the criteria of violations/traffic and road facilities contribute more to the results due to their weights. It is clear that continuous evaluation of road safety will have significant effect on governmental policy-makings for improving roads and safety-related actions. KEY WORDS: Roads Safety Coefficient, quantitative and qualitative criteria, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), GAHP Technique, TOPSIS Method

In this paper, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) processes will be clarified in the context of the disciplines related with the spatial information, as urban planning and its geographical perspective. For this purpose, first Spatial MCDM will be introduced, then the relation between the geographical data and GIS is established. Therefore, following sections include the detailed explanation of three widely used Spatial MCDM techniques, as Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). These techniques will be clarified by giving examples related with urban planning and geological science.

Our review paper research categorize the methods in the method of Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM) to find the method is widely used in the case of land clearing for plantation. Model FMCDM is used to assess the parameter in multi-criteria-based decision making. The dominant percentage of the result was obtained using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method. While the application of other methods for the same problem are Fuzzy Ordered Weighted Averaging (FOWA), Fuzzy Elimination Et Choix Traduisant la Realite or Elimination and Choice Translating Reality (FELECTRE), Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS), Fuzzy, Artificial Neural Networks (FANNs) has less. Some the research result also implemented hybrid in FMCDM Method to give some weight in the assessment of decision making. There was also a paper which integrates FMCDM to the GIS method on the land clearing. Therefore, it is concluded that the issue on the land clearing can be done through collaboration of several models of FMCDM, so that it can be developed by involving the decision model using multi-stakeholder model

This study aims to be able to provide recommendations in the decision-making system related to the best lecturers at the Jakarta Chapter of the Indonesian Management Lecturer Forum. It is hoped that the research results can be used as input in the Best Lecturer decision making system with a more systematic system. This research was conducted through interviews, questionnaires and literature study related to the Lecturer profession. In the field, the assessment criteria are still rough, therefore this study must include all the criteria into the mechanism, rules, and codes. Analysis, each criterion is analyzed using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method in weighting. The cumulative results of the recapitulation of scores show that teaching is still a top priority in the implementation of the Tridaharma of Lecturers, after that the second priority is research, then community service and finally support in the form of participation in supporting activities and scientific development.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Developing countries have to be very cautious in utilizing the land as they affect the food security, cause damage to environment and an ecological imbalance might be created in the process of establishing industries to raise the standard of living of the people from poverty. India, as a developing nation with sufficient amount of arable land at present is producing surplus food which is sufficient for all the population, in the recent decades loosing productive agricultural land without proper scientific solution for industries. This is a major concern because it causes not only food scarcity but dependency on the other nations even though we have lot of industries. We need to maintain a balance between Agriculture and manufacturing sectors to have smooth run of the country’s economy. The purpose of the study is to assess the land use changes in the areas for recent years which have potential for industrial establishment through land suitability analysis (LSA) to emphasize both agriculture and industries with sustainable development. Geographic information Systems (GIS) and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) are combined to distinctly identify the suitable zones for industries. Six criteria in Analytical hierarchy Process (AHP) and nine criteria in Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) are evaluated by spatial analysis using ArcGIS software. Considerable amount of productive agricultural land is diverted to non agricultural purposes during last 12 years i.e., from 2004&amp;ndash;2016, which is at first taken for industrial establishment. Results obtained by the methodology we followed have given considerable accuracy by cross checking the previously established industries with suitability regions. Thus GIS and MCDM can assist the policy makers and planning officials to get a better overview with the resources they possess to carry forward with less damage to environment and agricultural land.</p>

Abstract   In the Assessment of Best Employees, DTPeduli Bekasi still uses a system whose criteria are still not clear in its value weighting and are still based on estimates from the leadership of the company. Moreover, the best employee assessment can be used as a reference for giving rewards / bonuses to employees. Therefore, a decision support system is needed for the process of selecting the best employees. This decision support system, can determine the calculated value of all criteria. This system uses the Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) method where this method is a method that can solve the problem of decision making based on many criteria. The DTPeduli Bekasi study has 13 criteria, namely Loyalty, Ability to work, Responsibility, Obedience, Honesty, Cooperation, Work Initiative, Communication, Discipline and attendance, and Appearance can be collaborated using the Analitycal Hierarchy Process method so that the linkages between criteria make the process of appraising employees best becomes easy.   Keywords: AHP, Criteria, Weight Value and Best Employee Assessment   Abstrak   Dalam Penilaian Karyawan Terbaik DTPeduli Bekasi masih meggunakan sistem yang kriterianya masih belum jelas pembobotan nilainya dan masih berdasarkan perkiraan dari pimpinan perusahaan. Terlebih lagi penilaian karyawan terbaik bisa digunakan sebagai acuan untuk pemberian reward/bonus kepada karyawan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan sistem pendukung keputusan untuk proses pemilihan karyawan terbaik tersebut. Sistem pendukung keputusan ini, dapat menentukan nilai perhitung terhadap semua kriteria. Sistem ini menggunakan metode Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) dimana metode ini merupakan metode yang dapat menyelesaikan masalah pengambilan keputusan berdasarkan banyak kriteria. Pada studi DTPeduli Bekasi memiliki 13 kriteria yaitu Kesetiaan, Kemampuan akan pekerjaan, Tanggung jawab, Ketaatan, Kejujuran, Kerja sama, Inisiatif kerja, Komunikasi, Disiplin dan kehadiran, dan Penampilan dapat dikolaborasikan menggunakan metode Analitycal Hierarchy Process sehingga keterkaitan antara kriteria menjadikan proses penilaian karyawan terbaik menjadi mudah.   Kata kunci: AHP, Kriteria, Nilai Bobot dan Penilaian Karyawan Terbaik

This research focuses on developing a model that can be used to assess the performance of Small to Medium-Sized Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs). The model will result from the integration of a decision tool called the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and a data analysis model called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This research demonstrates that by eliminating flaws and taking advantage of each methodology's specific characteristics in identifying and solving problems, the new integrated AHP/DEA model appears to be a logical and sensible solution in multi-criteria decision-making problem.
