“…Thus, the numerous possible impact factors can be reduced objectively. In recent years, FDM has been widely applied to relevant research fields [66][67][68][69][70]. The main advantages of this procedure are that it can effectively denote vague group opinions; and, furthermore, it methodically transforms these opinions into quasi-objective data through easy statistical operations [68].…”

With the rapid transformations of living environments, urban sustainable development has become an important global issue for urban growth and management. In order to effectively implement urban sustainable development, it is necessary to establish an operational action model based on its nature. This study first clarifies the core value of urban quality of life (QOL), and proposes the corresponding concept of Life-City. A variety of factors may affect the content of Life-City, and when assessing the objectives of sustainable development, there are uncertain properties and value judgments. Therefore, Life-City evaluation is a fuzzy multi-criteria decision analysis (FMCDA) problem. This study constructs the dimensions and the possible impact factors for urban QOL development. The fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) is employed to screen evaluation criteria and develop the overall evaluation framework. In order to effectively convert the subjective and perceptual issues in the framework into objective and quantitative processing, this study adopts the extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP (EAFAHP) to aggregate experts' comments as empirical evaluation. The research results can convert the abstract concept of sustainability to the evaluation of Life-City specific operation, and serve as guidance for self-examination of current status and future policy development.Keywords: quality of life (QOL); Life-City; fuzzy multi-criteria decision analysis (FMCDA); fuzzy Delphi method (FDM); fuzzy extent analytic hierarchy process (FEAHP)

“…The geometric mean method is very useful to deal with fuzzy aggregating problems and fuzzy decision-making problems, and one of its main attributes is its convergence nature . The use of geometric mean method in the FDM can be found in the works such as Dzeng and Wen (2005); Chang and Wang (2006); Lee and Li (2006); Chen and Liu (2007); Kuo and Chen (2008); Lee et al (2010); Wang et al (2010). 3.…”

To acquire reasonable profits and to be competitive in the globalize market, more and more firms today have exploited various kinds of production strategies, such as outsourcing, joint venture, or some kind of strategic alliance. Since every production strategy has its benefits and costs and may bring a firm different opportunities and risks, which kind of production strategy is the most suitable for a firm to carry out is a difficult and complicated decision with a high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, this research proposes a comprehensive production strategy evaluation model that can facilitate such a decision making for a firm. The factors that should be considered for devising a production strategy are listed for the benefits, opportunities, costs and risks (BOCR) merits first, and fuzzy Delphi method is applied next to select the most important factors under each merit. A network with BOCR merits is constructed to incorporate the selected factors, and fuzzy analytic network process is then applied to consider the interdependence and feedback inside the network. The proposed model can effectively aid decision making on which kind of production strategy should be adopted by a firm. A case of a printed circuit board manufacturer is presented for the illustration of the proposed model.

“…Many studies using MADA [6,8,9,38] show that the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) can extract specific factors from various possible impact attributes effectively. Frequent used MADA methods [27] include the ranking technique [2], scoring [32], the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) [28], the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) [18], multivariable analysis [23], and mathematical models such as goal programming, dynamic programming, and zero-one goal programming [37].…”

When sustainable development becomes the global trend on residential environment, the transformation of abstract concepts into practicable implementations is necessary. In consequence, an objective evaluation model on regional property needs to established and carried out to examine the effectiveness and performance of local action. Because of the limitations of the small area and dense population in Taiwan, the development trend of the residential environment is toward multistory and high-density housing communities. This paper discusses the development characteristics and demands of a regional sector, and the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) is used to extract the factors. To consider possible interdependencies among dimensions and among selected factors, the analytic network process (ANP) is used to create a quantitative evaluation model to convert the abstract concept of sustainability into an understandable network model for evaluating different development projects. Our objective and practical evaluation model can be used in related living environment planning fields, and it can be tailored and applied in other management studies.
