Abstract:

Modern planning theories encourage approaches that consider different stakeholders with a variety of discourse types and values to minimise politically motivated and single interest dominated decisions. Quantitative approaches such as Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques combined with GIS have been applied successfully in a number of land suitability analysis and environmental planning and management scenarios. The use of spatial MCDM techniques can improve the transparency and analytic rigor of the future land use decisions. In the last decade, applications of the MCDM techniques

Abstract:

Power Generation Systems (PGSs) based on Hybrid Renewable Energy (HRE) are one of the promising solutions for future distributed generation systems. Among different configurations, Hybrid Photovoltaic - Wind turbine (PV-WT) grid connected PGSs are the most adopted for their good performance. However, due to the complexity of the system caused by wind power variability and solar radiation intermittency, the optimal balance between these two energy sources requires particular attention to achieve a good engineering solution. This thesis deals with the optimal sharing and sizing of PV-WT by adop

Abstract:

Significant investments are being made in the construction sector in order to raise the quality of the buildings and make them more sustainable and energy-efficient. The key aspect of these investments should be the purposeful optimization of the possible renovation and construction measures. However, this important matter usually is being pushed aside in favor of construction price and/or quality. Nevertheless, there are plenty of criteria that play a major role in building sustainable development. The main purpose of this study is to present a tool that combines multi-criteria decision makin

Abstract:

Background: Despite the competition for achieving lower costs and higher profits, companies are nowadays becoming increasingly aware of the environmental and social impacts of their operations. This is unveiled by growing numbers of sustainable activities in companies’ reports. Companies’ are also under more pressure from authorities and public to increase their business’s environmental performance, a so-called sustainable management process. Besides the pressure for developing environmental responsible activities, companies still remain with their low cost measures. Hence, they are concerned

Chemical hazards are thought to be well managed through existing controls (Vannoort & Thomson, 2009) whereas microbial hazards are considered harder to control, primarily due to their ability to reproduce along the food production chain.

For a little over twenty years, researchers have worked on integrating multi-criteria aggregation procedures (MCAP) to GIS. Several notable contributions have brought this field to what it is today. After studying the course of MCDA-GIS integration through several works, we question the future of such an attempt. Indeed most works that aim for an integration do not survive long after their direct purpose has been fulfilled. We end up understanding through a critical review of the existing systems that technical integration means nothing if it is not visible to the user on an operational level.

Ventilation is a critical task in underground mining operation. Lack of a good ventilation system causes accumulation of harmful gases, explosions, and even fatalities.

Unsuitable selection of a fan decreases safety and production rate, which increases capital and operational costs. Moreover, pitch angle of fans&rsquo

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2004.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is a set of techniques designed specifically for the analysis of complex problems. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) focus on spatial problem-solving and spatial analysis. The integration of these methodologies offers a powerful approach to decision making. Despite the fact that most spatial decision problems are multi-criteria problems by nature, the process of MCDM is not well established or effectively integrated into the field of spatial analysis and GIS. This research focuse

Abstract:

Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making (MCGDM) is a decision tool which is able to find a unique agreement from a group of decision makers (DMs) by evaluating various conflicting criteria. However, the current multi-criteria decision making with a group of DMs (MCGDM) techniques do not effectively deal with the large number of possibilities that cause disagreement between different judgements and the variety of ideas and opinions among the decision makers which lead to high_uncertainty levels. There is a growing interest to investigate techniques to handle the faced uncertainties in many decisio

Abstract:

For ship systems to remain reliable and safe they must be effectively maintained through a sound maintenance management system. The three major elements of maintenance management systems are; risk assessment, maintenance strategy selection and maintenance task interval determination. The implementation of these elements will generally determine the level of ship system safety and reliability. Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) is one method that can be used to optimise maintenance management systems. However the tools used within the framework of the RCM methodology have limitations which m

Access to this type of renewable energy not only contributes to providing energy for society but also saves energy and reduces environmental pollution. In Vietnam, given the geographic conditions of a locality with long coastline, high winds and fairly distributed all the year, wind power plants emerged as a viable option. Thus, there are many wind power plants are building. One of the most importance aim of wind power projects is wind power plant location selection, wind farm loca

Abstract:

The business cycle in the automotive industry follows the general economic cycle closely and therefore, undergoes cyclical fluctuations over time. Companies in the sector are faced with challenges and need to deal with market demands efficiently and quickly to stay competitive. Lean approach is one of the strategies that can aid firms to improve their competitiveness by minimizing waste (Pullan et al., 2013). In order to benefit from a lean approach, the first step is to select a proper tool based on the available resources and requirements of the company. Due to the fact that numerous l

Abstract:

Education quality is the ultimate result of significant contribution by each stake holder in an education system. However, it is believed that faculty quality has direct bearing on improving and sustaining quality in education. Teacher’s performance evaluation is nothing but a Multi Criteria Decision Making Problem (MCDM). There are several quality attributes that influence the efficiency of a potential teacher while guiding his/her students towards a positive and value added academic outcome. However, the extent of significance of quality attributes may vary from individuals’ viewpoint. In

Abstract:

With the fast-growing of data-rich systems, dealing with complex decision problems is unavoidable. Normalization is a crucial step in most multi criteria decision making (MCDM) models, to produce comparable and dimensionless data from heterogeneous data. Further, MCDM requires data to be numerical and comparable to be aggregated into a single score per alternative, thus providing their ranking. Several normalization techniques are available, but their performance depends on a number of characteristics of the problem at hand i.e., different normalization techniques may provide different ran
