“…Studies have pointed out the role of MCDA in the decision modeling processes used for risk assessment, resilience, and recovery planning (e.g., Cegan et al 2017;Rand et al 2020;Manyaga et al 2020). Keisler and Linkov (2014) highlight the utility and favorability of MCDA, such as linear additive scoring models in decision recommendations for environment models.…”

This paper proposes a framework to systematically evaluate and select attributes of decision models used in disaster risk management. In doing so, we formalized the attribute selection process as a sequential screening-utility problem by formulating a prescriptive decision model. The aim is to assist decision-makers in producing a ranked list of attributes and selecting a set among them. We developed an evaluation process consisting of ten criteria in three sequential stages. We used a combination of three decision rules for the evaluation process, alongside mathematically integrated compensatory and non-compensatory techniques as the aggregation methods. We implemented the framework in the context of disaster resilient transportation network to investigate its performance and outcomes. Results show that the framework acted as an inclusive systematic decision aiding mechanism and promoted creative and collaborative decision-making. Preliminary investigations suggest the successful application of the framework in evaluating and selecting a tenable set of attributes. Further analyses are required to discuss the performance of the produced attributes. The properties of the resulting attributes and feedback of the users suggest the quality of outcomes compared to the retrospective attributes that were selected in an unaided selection process. Research and practice can use the framework to conduct a systematic problem-structuring phase of decision analysis and select an equitable set of decision attributes.

“…Decision Support Systems (DSS) are helpful tools for the management of disasters (van de Walle & Turoff, 2008;Quansah, Engel & Rochon, 2010). Various models and multicriteria methods have been proposed for decision-making in disaster management (Zhou et al, 2018;Manyaga, Nilufer & Hajaoui, 2020). In particular, in case of earthquakes, timely post disaster rescue operations could not only reduce greater casualties, but also avoid greater losses to property.…”

In this paper, an equivalence theorem is given, that is, in a weighted graph, the maximum value of the minimum edge weights of all minimal edge cut sets between two points is equal to the minimum value of the maximum edge weights of all paths between the two points. On this basis, the recovery time between two points in the network is defined from the perspective of the minimal edge cut set and the path, respectively, and the equivalence of the two definitions is shown. Two models are established to optimize the partial recovery of network functions, by taking the damaged road network after the earthquake as the scene, based on the definition of the network recovery time and the total network time. Model 1 includes three objective functions, which are the sum of the failure levels between all pairs of the demand points and the facilities serving them, the total network time and the total cost. Different priorities were set for solving these three objectives. Since such a hierarchical model is not conducive to the optimization of the objective functions with lower priorities, model 1 is modified appropriately. The sum of the failure levels is combined with the total network time into an integrated objective function by weighting, and the minimization of this new function is taken as the highest-priority objective and the minimization of the total cost is taken as the secondary-priority objective, in order to achieve the balance between the sum of the failure levels and the total network time. Thus, model 2 is obtained. A case study is used to test the two models and verify their effectiveness.

The aim of this study is to define and clarify the idea of improving management effectiveness within Indian construction companies. We conducted an online survey with an Indian construction company and used correlation analysis to thoroughly examine how both external and internal factors affect management effectiveness. The survey includes demographic questions, ratings on a scale of 1 to 5 for management aspects, ratings on a similar scale for internal and external factors, and ratings on a similar scale for potential improvement suggestions. With the help of descriptive statistics and frequencies, the mean efficiency values were calculated using SPSS and Excel to analyse the collected data. To establish links between the variables and the effectiveness of the company, correlation analysis was also carried out. The primary conclusions of the study highlight the critical importance of focussing on employee relations, meticulous tracking of work output, integration of technology, and adherence to established protocols as key factors in improving management effectiveness. The research also reveals significant problems with the management system, such as a preference for sanctions over incentives. It establishes that internal and external factors have equal weight in influencing management effectiveness, emphasising the need for an all-encompassing strategy that is flexible enough to support long-term advancement in construction company management practices.
