“…Several environmental and forestry initiatives have used this technique to prioritise action measures within forestry planning of a certain geographical area, highlighting those applied to forestry sector in Finland: Varis (1989), Pukkala and Kangas (1993), Kangas (1994), Alho and Kangas (1997), Kurttila et al (2000) and Silvennionen et al (2001). This same methodology has also been used in countries such as Australia (Ananda and Herath, 2003;Herath, 2004) or the United States (Rauscher et al, 2000;Mau-Crimmins et al, 2005). In Spain, worthy of note are the papers by Cardells (1995) and Reyna and Cardells (1999), which use AHP methodology for strategic forestry planning in the Autonomous Region of Valencia and for assessing the multi-functional uses of forests, respectively.…”

Abstract. Increasing water scarcity has posed a major constraint to sustain food production in many parts of the world. To study the situation at the regional level, we took Iran as an example and analyzed how an intra-country "virtual water trade strategy" (VWTS) may help improve cereal production as well as alleviate the water scarcity problem. This strategy calls, in part, for the adjustment of the structure of cropping pattern (ASCP) and interregional food trade where crop yield and crop water productivity as well as local economic and social conditions are taken into account. We constructed a systematic framework to assess ASCP at the provincial level under various driving forces and constraints. A mixedinteger, multi-objective, linear optimization model was developed and solved by linear programming. Data from 1990-2004 were used to account for yearly fluctuations of water availability and food production. Five scenarios were designed aimed at maximizing the national cereal production while meeting certain levels of wheat self-sufficiency under various water and land constraints in individual provinces. The results show that under the baseline scenario, which assumes a continuation of the existing water use and food policy at the national level, some ASCP scenarios could produce more wheat with less water. Based on different scenarios in ASCP, we calculated that 31% to 100% of the total wheat shortage in the deficit provinces could be supplied by the wheat surplus provinces. As a result, wheat deficit provinces would receive 3.5 billion m 3 to 5.5 billion m 3 of virtual water by importing wheat from surplus provinces.

“…They have used this methodology for a systemic comparative assessment of the multifunctional performance of alternative olive systems in Spain [2]. Theresa and et al used the AHP method for choosing the preference for their problem and they demonstrate that the AHP offers potential for actual application as a public participation tool [30]. Rhonda and et al has used AHP for group decision making by aggregating individual judgments or individual priorities [26].…”

While a country is surging ahead from a developing country to the status of a developed nation, the term "Development" has a connotation, both in terms of macro-level or micro-level development. When referred at the country level it becomes macro-level development, while at districts, it becomes microlevel development. At the sub-state level, "District" is the basic unit for all administrative purpose and also consistent with the decentralized planning process prevailing at the grass-root. However, the planning and development at district level can be further subdivided into urban planning and rural planning. Urban planning basically focuses on urban areas for its planned development with proper land use. These activities are generally taken cared by respective Urban Development Authorities. Planning at rural level can further be zeroed down to village / habitation. As part of the Planning objectives, Rural Planning needs to reflect growth and social justice, as growth in the rural sector has been identified as the key to social and economic development.Development involves making decisions and informed choices amongst alternative possible development paths. Therefore, it is important that these decisions are made using the best information, methods and tools available in an effective manner. The information to be considered for planning may be of sectoral or non-sectoral in nature. Today's scenario is focused on planning and each department plans for assigned limited sectoral development. However development of each sector is dependent on each other. For this purpose planners take decisions on the questions like Where, Why, How etc. When we talk about decisions, there are various decision models available to choose from depending upon the requirement. This paper deliberates the aspects of sectoral planning and the role of decision models in this planning process and its effectiveness with respect to planning.
