“…Due to the use of complex methods in each model, the results were largely the same. Sadeghiravesh et al prioritize the strategies in the Khezrabad region by using the following models: AHP (Sadeghiravesh et al, 2010), ELECTRE , weighted sum model (WSM) , BORDA (Sadeghiravesh, 2014), PERMUTATION (Sadeghiravesh, 2013), and PROMETHEE (Sadeghiravesh et al, 2016). The results of these studies are the same and largely similar to the results of previous research.…”

Abstract. Nowadays desertification, as a global problem, affects many countries in the world, especially developing countries like Iran. With respect to increasing importance of desertification and its complexity, the necessity of attention to the optimal combating-desertification alternatives is essential. Selecting appropriate strategies according to all effective criteria to combat the desertification process can be useful in rehabilitating degraded lands and avoiding degradation in vulnerable fields. This study provides systematic and optimal strategies of combating desertification by use of a group decision-making model. To this end, the preferences of indexes were obtained through using the Delphi model, within the framework of multi-attribute decision making (MADM). Then, priorities of strategies were evaluated by using linear assignment (LA) method. According to the results, the strategies to prevent improper change of land use (A 18 ), development and reclamation of plant cover (A 23 ), and control overcharging of groundwater resources (A 31 ) were identified as the most important strategies for combating desertification in this study area. Therefore, it is suggested that the aforementioned ranking results be considered in projects which control and reduce the effects of desertification and rehabilitate degraded lands.

Abstract. Select appropriate strategies according to all effective criteria in combating desertification process can be so useful in controlling and rehabilitation of degraded lands, and avoid degradation in vulnerable fields. This study provides systematic and optimal strategies of combating desertification by group decision-making model. To this end, in the framework of Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) and by using Delphi model (Delphi), the preferences of indexes were obtained. Then priorities of strategies were evaluated by using linear assignment (LA) method. According to the results, the strategies to prevent improper change of land use (A18), development and reclamation of plant cover (A23) and adjustment for harvesting from groundwater sources (A31), respectively were identified as the most important strategies for combating desertification in this study area. Therefore, it was suggested to consider ranking results in projects which controls and reduces the effects of desertification and rehabilitates degraded lands.

Nowadays, Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques are widely used to solve decision problems. In this study, current usage of two of the outranking-based MCDM techniques, namely ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) and PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations), is examined in detail. In order to find the usage of those mentioned techniques, the scientific studies carried out in 2016 and the first four months of 2017 are investigated via Google Scholar. For this reason, it is aimed that by showing the contemporary trends of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE, the results will create an understanding of how the techniques might be used in the future. The survey of the studies shows that the application areas of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE have a great diversification. The studies on the two techniques show that the researchers made some adjustments on ELECTRE and PROMETHEE in order to answer the problems posed in their research questions. A specially, in this study, it has been seen that some remarkable modern methods were included in the problem solving process such as to evaluate according to different scenarios, usage of metaheuristics for complex decisions, hesitant fuzzy implementations, proliferation of group decision preference, an increase on hybrid techniques, the change in the number of software used, big data usage, sensitivity analyses and finally two linguistic approaches taking an importance in fuzzification. Keywords:Multi Criteria Decision Making, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, Literature Review ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin Güncel Uygulama Alanları: Bir Alanyazın Taraması ÖZGünümüzde çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) teknikleri, karar problemlerinin çözümünde oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ÇKKV tekniklerinin üstünlük tabanlı sınıfında yer alan ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) ve PROMETHEE'nin (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) güncel kullanım alanları incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda 2016 yılı ve 2017 yılı ilk dört ayında gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar Google Scholar yardımıyla taranmıştır. Böylelikle ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin gelişimindeki son durumun ortaya konulması ve gelecekteki uygulama biçim ve alanları hakkında fikir verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tarama neticesinde, ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin uygulama alanlarının çok çeşitli olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmalarda, araştırma probleminin çözümüne yönelik ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin tasarımında değişiklikler yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca senaryo farklılaşmalarına göre değerlendirme yapılması, metasezgiseller ile karmaşık karar problemlerinin çözülmesi, kararsız bulanık uygulamalarının yaygınlaşması, grup kararı tercihinin artması, hibrit tekniklerin uygulama sayısının fazlalaşması, kullanılan yazılımlar, büyük verilerle çözümleme yapılması, duyarlılık analizleri, bulanıklaştırmada iki dilsel yaklaşımının önemli yer edinmesi dikkat çekici sonuçlar olarak tespit edilmiştir.
