“…Alternative option comparison approaches can increase the number of scenarios assessed by sacrificing simulation of flood dynamics and instead apply a qualitative comparison of options. This includes approaches such as expert-led multicriteria decision-making, geographic information system (GIS)based techniques, and expert judgement (Birgani, 2013;Ellis, Deutsch, Mouchel, Scholes, & Revitt, 2004;Makropoulos, Liu, Natsis, Butler, & Memon, 2007;Makropoulos, Natsis, Liu, Mittas, & Butler, 2008;Young, Younos, Dymond, Kibler, & Lee, 2010). Qualitative analysis greatly increases the speed and scope of analysis but at a tradeoff against the simulation of flood dynamics required to provide detailed evidence for decision support.…”

Despite significant consequences caused by recent events, surface water flooding has historically been of lower priority relative to fluvial and coastal risks in UK flood management. Legislation and research proposes a variety of innovative interventions to address this; however, widespread application of these remains a challenge due to a number of institutional, economic, and technical barriers. This research applies a framework capable of fast and high‐resolution assessment of intervention cost‐effectiveness as an opportunity to improve available evidence and encourage uptake of interventions through analysing permutations of type, scale, and distribution in urban catchments. Fast assessment of many scenarios is achieved using a cellular automata flood model and a simplified representation of interventions. Conventional and green strategies are examined across a range of design standard and high‐magnitude rainfall events in an urban catchment. Results indicate high‐volume rainwater capture interventions demonstrate a significant reduction in estimated annual damage costs, and localised surface water drainage interventions exhibit high cost‐effectiveness for damage reduction. Analysis of performance across a wide range of return periods enhances available evidence for option comparison decision support and provides a basis for future resilience assessment of interventions.

“…This method has been tested theoretically and empirically for a variety of decision situations, including spatial decisionmaking. Several studies have demonstrated the usefulness of AHP in a wide range of fields (Zahedi 1986;Vargas 1990;Forman and Gass 2001;Kumar and Vaidya 2006;Hossain et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2009; Young et al 2010;Garfì et al 2011;Anane et al 2012;Mahmoud 2014b). The first step was to make a judgement of the relative importance of pairwise combinations of the factors involved.…”

Identification of potential sites for rainwater harvesting (RWH) is an important step toward maximizing water availability and land productivity in arid semiarid regions. Characterised as a "water scarce" country, Egypt has limited fresh water supplies, and is expected to suffer from water stress by the year 2030. Therefore, it is important to develop any means available to supply water and maintain human habitability in a sustainable manner. Practiced or simply indispensable in many countries around the world, rainwater harvesting (RWH) promotes a sustainable and efficient manner of exploiting water resources. In the present study, suitable areas for sustainable stormwater harvesting and storage in Egypt were identified using remote sensing for land cover data - location assessment linked to a decision support system (DSS). The DSS took into consideration a combination of thematic layers such as rainfall surplus, slope, potential runoff coefficient (PRC), land cover/use, and soil texture. Taking into account five thematic layers, the spatial extents of RWH suitability areas were identified by an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The model generated a RWH map with five categories of suitability: excellent, good, moderate, poor and unsuitable. The spatial distribution of these categories in the area investigated was such that 4.8% (47910 km(2)) and 14% (139739 km(2)) of the study area was classified as excellent or good in terms of RWH, respectively, while 30.1% (300439 km(2)), 47.6% (474116 km(2)) and 3.5% (34935 km(2)) of the area were classified as moderate, unsuitable and poor, respectively. Most of the areas with excellent to good suitability had slopes of between 2% and 8% and were intensively cultivated areas. The major soil type in the excellent suitability areas was loam, while rainfall ranged from 100 to 200 mm yr(-1). The use of a number of RWH sites in the excellent areas is recommended to ensure successful implementation of RWH systems.

Due to the significant growth in the usage of cell phone by customers and its availability, this tool can be considered such the best tool. For e-payment for implementing the mobile payment service, other objects and players should be considered such as banks, operators, service providers and the used technology as the effective interaction role. In addition, for effective optimization of parameters for implementing the mobile payment solution a proper model of business should be used. First of all, in this experiment, different business models in the field of mobile payment and the role of each stakeholder in these models and their positive and negative points are discussed. Moreover, by using method of Multiple Criteria Decision Making, four famous business models of the world are evaluated and the result of this evaluation highlights that the cooperation model is the most Appropriate Model in terms of mobile payment methods.
