Determination of the Most Optimal On-Shore Wind Farm Site Location Using a GIS-MCDM Methodology: Evaluating the Case of South Korea

“…[31] Tasri and Susilawati [32] Ren and Sovacool [33] Bio Energy [34] Chang et al [34] Hybrid [35] Chen et al [35] Solar [36] Lee et al [36] Wind [37][38][39][40] Yeh and Huang [37] Shafiee [38] Liu et al [39] Lee et al [40] Currently many versions of FAHP exist, but the FAHP methodology devised by Buckley [41] will be employed in the current study due to its accuracy, flexibility, and robustness. There are total five steps involved in this process to assign weights to each criterion, and they are as follows:…”

Solid waste management in European countries: A review of systems analysis techniques

“…The overall aim of the renewed EU SDS is to support and promote actions enabling the EU to achieve (Chang et al, 2009). continuous improvement of quality of life for both current and future generations. This is expected to be achieved through the creation of sustainable communities capable of managing resources efficiently, tapping the innovation potential of the economy, ensuring prosperity, environmental protection and social cohesion.…”

“…A procedure that aims to ensure that the decision-making process concerning activities that may have a significant influence on the environment takes into account the environmental aspects related to the decision (Tukker, 2000) EIA associated to a specific project attempts to solve controversial issues from the target project such as siting issues originated from the NIMBY effect, technical issues to justifying the choice of technology for emission reduction, and even the rejection of the project (Chang et al, 2009). In Europe, EIA is mandatory for landfills and incineration plants with regard to capacity limits through EU Directive 85/337/EEC (EU, 1985), as amended by EU Directive 97/11/EC (EU, 1997).…”

“…For such purposes, several methodologies have been applied: CBA-based LP , CBA-based MIP , CBA-based fuzzy goal programming , fuzzy contingent valuation (Chang et al, 2009), minimax regret optimization (Chang and Davila, 2007), GIP-based game theory , CBA-based MCDM (Karagiannidis and Moussiopoulos, 1997;Rousis et al, 2008), optimal control of landfill space (Chang and Schuler, 1991) inexact fuzzy-stochastic constraint (Li et al, 2009), IOA (Brahms and Schwitters, 1985;Franklin Associates, 1999;Gay et al, 1993;Hekkert et al, 2000;Joosten et al, 2000;Patel et al, 1998;Nakamura, 1999;Pimenteira et al, 2005) Sustainable assessment Refers to the integration of different methodologies in such a way that obtaining an analysis, an evaluation or a planning that approaches several management aspects in which sustainability implications may be emphasized and illuminated SWM systems assessed to reach sustainable management, focusing on different aspects. Models developed: LCA-IWM (den Boer et al, 2007) and MSW-DST (Thorneloe et al, 2007;Weitz et al, 1999).…”

Development of the Metropolitan Water Availability Index (MWAI) and short-term assessment with multi-scale remote sensing technologies

“…One of the critical problems of AHP is to deal with the uncertainty resulting from measurement errors, modeling bias, information availability, and imprecision or ambiguity embedded in the paired comparison procedure (Chang et al, 2009). Fuzzy set theory was introduced by Zadeh (1965).…”
