“…Based on AHP. AHP transforms a flexible multicriteria decision-making problem into a hierarchy with respect to one or more criteria, and it has been widely used for a variety of sites selection problem [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Next, we used the same case study for AHP as the calculation comparison with the formulated ECM proposed in this paper.…”

“…AHP transforms a flexible multicriteria decision-making problem into a hierarchy with respect to one or more criteria and it has been widely used for a variety of sites selection problems. For example, Ballis [2] used AHP to select the airport-site location on the Island of Samothraki, Greece. The method has also been used for transshipment site selection (Önüt and Soner [3]); transit site selection (Rosenberg and Esnard [4]); weapon selection problem (Dagdeviren et al [5]); industrial site selection (Kauko [6], Kauko [7], Srdjevic et al [8], Dey and Ramcharan [9]); location for warehouses and suppliers (Liu et al [10], García et al [11]); location of solid waste plant (Padmaja et al [12]); location of petroleum pipelines (Dey [13]); location of animal waste plant (Timor and Sipahi [14]).…”

Reasonable railway container freight stations layout means higher transportation efficiency and less transportation cost. To obtain more objective and accurate reselection results, a new entropy-cloud approach is formulated to solve the problem. The approach comprises three phases: Entropy Method is used to obtain the weight of each subcriterion during Phase 1, then cloud model is designed to form the evaluation cloud for each subcriterion during Phase 2, and finally during Phase 3 we use the weight during Phase 1 to multiply the initial evaluation cloud during Phase 2. MATLAB is applied to determine the evaluation figures and help us to make the final alternative decision. To test our approach, the railway container stations in Wuhan Railway Bureau were selected for our case study. The final evaluation result indicates only Xiangyang Station should be renovated and developed as a Special Transaction Station, five other stations should be kept and developed as Ordinary Stations, and the remaining 16 stations should be closed. Furthermore, the results show that, before the site reselection process, the average distance between two railway container stations was only 74.7 km but has improved to 182.6 km after using the approach formulated in this paper.

“…However, tourism activities are concentrated during a very small time window in summer and have never dominated the island's culture [60]. The low-key tourism development is often attributed to several reasons, among them: isolated location near the northern Greek-Turkish frontier; poor year-round ferry connections; "poorly developed" beaches; and the lack of an airport [61,62]. In this way Samothraki may still maintain some aspects of what the late Oliver Rackham has called the "Greece of yesterday", that is, the Aegean world before the wholesale socio-economic and landscape changes of the last few decades [63].…”

Residents’ Views on Landscape and Ecosystem Services during a Wind Farm Proposal in an Island Protected Area

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Industrial wind farms are being developed within many protected areas, such as in EU Natura 2000 sites; this includes proposals on small Mediterranean islands, such as Samothraki in Greece. Scarce wild land areas on islands may be particularly vulnerable to landscape-scale degradation; this may have serious negative societal impacts. Samothraki’s resident perceptions were surveyed in the wake of such a proposal, in June 2018. Of 98 respondents, 48% reported they were against the wind farm plan, while 22% did not take sides. We compare for-and-against sub-group perceptions of the proposed wind farm with potential impacts on the landscape and explore residents’ opinions on ecosystem services and environmental pressures and threats. Conflict over the wind farm was prevalent; residents most frequently reported that the proposal threatens aesthetic and landscape qualities. Aesthetic qualities were also the second highest ranked ecosystem services, after freshwater provision. However, other threats, such as livestock overgrazing, top residents’ opinion of major environmental problems on the island. The questionnaire survey used provides a scoping assessment, which may assist in identifying "conflict hotspots" for wind farm development. A critical review of wind farm planning in protected areas is presented in light of insights gained from this survey and other relevant studies.

High-speed railway (HSR) express freight train service sites selection is critical to the development of China's Third Party Logistics market. In this paper, we formulate an improved entropy-cloud model based approach to solve the HSR express sites selection problem for the first time. The basic data of the indicators, for example, existing railway network conditions, traffic environment, express freight market demand, and policy, will be used as the inputs. We apply improved entropy method to obtain each subindicator's weight. The cloud model will be used to select and classify each station under evaluation.
