A Hybrid Methodology to Study Stakeholder Cooperation in Circular Economy Waste Management of Cities

2020

Successful transitioning to a circular economy city requires a holistic and inclusive approach that involves bringing together diverse actors and disciplines who may not have shared aims and objectives. It is desirable that stakeholders work together to create jointly-held perceptions of value, and yet cooperation in such an environment is likely to prove difficult in practice. The contribution of this paper is to show how collaboration can be engendered, or discord made transparent, in resource decision-making using a hybrid Game Theory approach that combines its inherent strengths with those of scenario analysis and multi-criteria decision analysis. Such a methodology consists of six steps: (1) define stakeholders and objectives; (2) construct future scenarios for Municipal Solid Waste Management; (3) survey stakeholders to rank the evaluation indicators; (4) determine the weights for the scenarios criteria; (5) reveal the preference order of the scenarios; and (6) analyse the preferences to reveal the cooperation and competitive opportunities. To demonstrate the workability of the method, a case study is presented: The Tyseley Energy Park, a major Energy-from-Waste facility that treats over two-thirds of the Municipal Solid Waste of Birmingham in the UK. The first phase of its decision-making involved working with the five most influential actors, resulting in recommendations on how to reach the most preferred and jointly chosen sustainable scenario for the site. The paper suggests a supporting decision-making tool so that cooperation is embedded in circular economy adoption and decisions are made optimally (as a collective) and are acceptable to all the stakeholders, although limited by bounded rationality.

The Shapley value results are then compared with the original coalition total worth to reach the fairest distribution of the computed benefits.…”

It is generally agreed that decomposing a project into several independent subprojects can help to have a successful and e ective project management. On the other hand, this may lead to ine cient use of some renewable resources and increase in the total cost and time of project. This study deals with the bene ts of horizontal partnering among contractors assigned to subprojects through sharing renewable resources and proposes a model based on cooperative game theory for the problem. The improvement of the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project was considered as the bene t of cooperation among contractors. Therefore, a Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model was developed for the resource constrained project scheduling with the objective function of maximizing the NPV of each coalition. Seven widely used cooperative game theory solution methods were used to solve the NPV allocation problem and then, stability criteria were utilized to nd the best allocation scheme. An example is presented in the paper to more comprehensively illustrate the problem.

The complementary use of game theory for the circular economy: A review of waste management decision-making methods in civil engineering

First study to contrast five decision-making tools with game theory.  Game theory is still undergoing consideration for use in the circular economy.  Cooperation is a feature too often missing in waste management decision-making.  Waste management can benefit from game theory capabilities to resolve conflict.  An adapted waste management bargaining example shows the potential of game theory.
