Aim: “This study Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Model for Malaria Control” was aimed at using analytical hierarchy process model to prioritize alternative strategies for malaria control. Place and the Duration of the Study: The study was carried out in Bauchi State, Nigeria from May, 2017 to June, 2019. Methodology: The study used primary and secondary data. The secondary data were the identified alternatives strategies for malaria control and the criteria for evaluating these strategies obtained from malaria control journals and World Health Organization report. The criteria and malaria control strategies were used as input for developing a 9-point scale used in a questionnaire to obtained responses from the Experts in scoring the pairwise comparison of the criteria and the alternatives. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model was used to develop the pairwise comparison matrices from the Experts opinions. Computations were carried out with the help of computer software, business performance management Singapore (BPMSG-AHP ONLINE). Results:The result of the analysis shows that the use of insecticide treated nets was ranked the best strategy for malaria control (AHP score 0.348). Based on the findings of this paper, it is recommended that the use of treated mosquito net should be given much attention in controlling malaria in Nigeria. Conclusion:We therefore conclude that in a multi -criteria decision making situation, AHP is a powerful tool to assists decision makers.

In the present study, the susceptibility to flash-floods and flooding was studied across the Izvorul Dorului River basin in Romania. In the first phase, three ensemble models were used to determine the susceptibility to flash-floods. These models were generated by a combination of three statistical bivariate methods, namely frequency ratio (FR), weights of evidence (WOE), and statistical index (SI), with fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). The result obtained from the application of the FAHP-WOE model had the best performance highlighted by an Area Under Curve—Receiver Operating Characteristics Curve (AUC-ROC) value of 0.837 for the training sample and another of 0.79 for the validation sample. Furthermore, the results offered by FAHP-WOE were weighted on the river network level using the flow accumulation method, through which the valleys with a medium, high, and very high torrential susceptibility were identified. Based on these valleys’ locations, the susceptibility to floods was estimated. Thus, in the first stage, a buffer zone of 200 m was delimited around the identified valleys along which the floods could occur. Once the buffer zone was established, ten flood conditioning factors were used to determine the flood susceptibility through the analytical hierarchy process model. Approximately 25% of the total delimited area had a high and very high flood susceptibility.

Hasil survei potensi yang dilakukan IUCN dan LPSPL Sorong menunjukkan nilai kelimpahan ikan napoleon (Cheilinus undulatus) di Kabupaten Raja Ampat termasuk dalam kategori rendah. Walaupun demikian, nelayan tetap menginginkan ada kuota untuk pemanfaatannya karena merupakan salah satu sumber mata pencaharian utama. Aktivitas pemanfaatan harus disertai dengan upaya pengendalian untuk menjaga kelestarian sumberdaya. Penerapan upaya fishing control dan manajemen kebijakan belum dilakukan secara optimal, sehingga diperlukan penetapan berdasarkan skala prioritas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi pemanfaatan dan menentukan skala prioritas upaya untuk mengendalikan pemanfaatan ikan napoleon di Kabupaten Raja Ampat. Penentuan skala prioritas dianalisis dengan model Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) dengan melibatkan pakar di bidang konservasi dalam penilaian. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi, kondisi pemanfaatan ikan napoleon di Kabupaten Raja Ampat dilakukan belum sesuai dengan ketentuan regulasi yang telah ditetapkan. Hasil penilaian dengan model AHP menunjukkan bahwa kriteria yang paling penting untuk mengendalikan pemanfaatan ikan napoleon adalah sumberdaya ikan lestari, dan urutan prioritas alternatif adalah sosialisasi kepada nelayan/pengusaha (bobot 0,2935), pengawasan (bobot 0,2715), survei kelimpahan secara berkala (bobot 0,2181) dan penerapan lalu lintas perdagangan melalui bandara (bobot 0,2169).The results of potential survey by IUCN and LPSPL Sorong showed the abundance value of napoleon fish (Cheilinus undulatus) in Raja Ampat Regency was low category. Nonetheless, the fisher quota for its utilization because it is one of the main sources of livelihood. The utilization activities should be followed by control of effort to maintain resource sustainability. Implementation of fishing control and management decisions has not been done optimally, therefore it need to be set based on priority scale. The purpose of this study were to identify conditions of utilization and to determine the priority scale to control utilization of napoleon wrasse fishery in Raja Ampat Regency. Determination of priority scale were analyzed with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model by involving experts in the field of conservation in the assessment. Based on the results of identification, the condition of the utilization of napoleon fish in Raja Ampat Regency was not with the regulation. The results of the assessment with AHP model showed that the most important criteria to control utilization of napoleon wrasse fishery is sustainable fish resources, and alternatives priority order are socialization/awareness program to fishers/live fish buyer (value 0.2935), surveillance (value 0.2715), periodic density surveys (value 0.2181) and implementation of trade air-only (value 0.2169).

Abstract The flood is one of the frequently occurring natural hazards within the sub-basin of Lake Tana. The flood hazard within the sub-basin of Lake Tana causes damage to cropland, properties, and a fatality every season. Therefore, flood susceptibility modeling in this area is significant for hazard reduction and management purposes. Thus, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), bivariate (information value [IV] and frequency ratio [FR]), and multivariate (logistic regression [LR]) statistical methods were applied. Using an intensive field survey, historical document, and Google Earth Imagery, 1,404-flood locations were determined, classified into 70% training datasets and 30% testing flood datasets using a subset within the geographic information system (GIS) environment. The statistical relationship between the probability of flood occurrence and 11 flood-driving factors was performed using the GIS tool. The flood susceptibility maps of the study area were developed by summing all weighted aspects using a raster calculator. It is classified into very low, low, moderate, high, and very high susceptibility classes using the natural breaks method. The accuracy and performance of the models were evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC). As the result indicated, the FR model has better performance (AUC = 99.1%) compared to the AHP model (AUC = 86.9%), LR model (AUC = 81.4%), and IV model (AUC = 78.2%). This research finds out that the applied methods are quite worthy for flood susceptibility modeling within the study area. In flood susceptibility modeling, method selection is not a serious challenge; the care should tend to the input parameter quality. Based on the AUC values, the FR model is comparatively better, followed by the AHP model for regional land use planning, flood hazard mitigation, and prevention purposes.

This study attempts to use the analytical hierarchy process to choose the most appropriate earthwork machine for slope classes of 30–50% and 50–70%. Required data were collected by pairwise comparison as questionnaires filled by experts of forest engineering. Results showed that cross-sections and grade line (Technical criteria), soil excavation and displacement (Environmental criteria), production rate and multi-application (Operational criteria), production cost (Economic criteria) with the respective weights of  0.345, 0.345, 0.136, 0.058, 0.058 and 0.058 were the most important criteria for choosing the earthwork machines in the slope class of 30–50%. These coefficients for the slope class of 50–70% were 0.329, 0.329, 0.174, 0.056, 0.056 and 0.056, respectively. Overall priority of bulldozer in slope classes of 30–50% and 50–70% was 0.51 and 0.48, respectively. Therefore, in slope class of 30–50% bulldozer and in slope class of 50–70% hydraulic excavator must be selected for earthwork operation.
