The weights of criteria in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems are essential elements that can significantly affect the results. Accordingly, researchers developed and presented several methods to determine criteria weights. Weighting methods could be objective, subjective, and integrated. This study introduces a new method, called MEREC (MEthod based on the Removal Effects of Criteria), to determine criteria’ objective weights. This method uses a novel idea for weighting criteria. After systematically introducing the method, we present some computational analyses to confirm the efficiency of the MEREC. Firstly, an illustrative example demonstrates the procedure of the MEREC for calculation of the weights of criteria. Secondly, a comparative analysis is presented through an example for validation of the introduced method’s results. Additionally, we perform a simulation-based analysis to verify the reliability of MEREC and the stability of its results. The data of the MCDM problems generated for making this analysis follow a prevalent symmetric distribution (normal distribution). We compare the results of the MEREC with some other objective weighting methods in this analysis, and the analysis of means (ANOM) for variances shows the stability of its results. The conducted analyses demonstrate that the MEREC is efficient to determine objective weights of criteria.

Occupational accidents have become a globalized problem not only in certain countries but also all over the world. The structure of the construction sector developing in integration with technological change shaped by the necessity of meeting the human needs reaching serious dimensions emerges as a result of globalization and for this reason, it makes occupational health measures more important every passing day. Thus, the construction sector which is the leading sector with regards to the cause of occupational accidents, needs the required field works and academic studies in order to take indispensable measures and precautions in terms of occupational health and safety culture and discipline. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the trends of occupational accidents on city basis and to obtain risk ranking. In this direction, the contributions of cities to occupational accidents have been evaluated by multi-criteria decision-making methods, which cities required the most measures in terms of occupational health and safety (OHS) have been determined and the data have been evaluated specific to the construction industry. ENTROPY weighting method has been used to determine the significance of interaction between years and occupational accident years. According to the results of PROMETHEE II, GRA and OCRA MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) methods, the cities where occupational accidents are of the highest importance have been identified as Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara, respectively.

“…Several studies have documented the importance of MCDM techniques in addressing issues in the maritime industry [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] ]. Risk management in seaports is one field where MCDM techniques have been used to generate information to improve decision-making.…”
