“…The InVEST HRA was not primarily designed to evaluate fire ignitions; however, it utilizes a well-supported exposure-consequence framework that assesses spatial variation as a cumulative risk from multiple human activities across diverse conditions and land use patterns. The cumulative aspect of ignitions is addressed by various authors [39,40] who, in some cases, consider exposure-consequence [41] as important indicators of ignition risk in habitats strongly influenced by human activities.…”

Countries unaccustomed to wildfires are currently experiencing wildfire as a new climate-change reality. Understanding how fire ignition and propagation are correlated with temperature, orography, humidity, wind, and the mixture and age of individual plants must be considered when designing prevention strategies. While wildfire prevention focuses on fire ignition avoidance, firefighting success depends on early ignition detection, meaning that, in either case, ignition plays a major role. The current case study considered three Portuguese municipalities that annually observe frequent fire ignitions (Tomar, Ourém, and Ferreira do Zêzere) as the testing ground for the Modernized Dynamic Ignition Risk (MDIR) strategy, thus evaluating the efficiency of MDIR and the efficacy of the variables used. This methodology uses geographic information systems technology sustained by open-source satellite imagery, along with the Habitat Risk Assessment model from the InVEST software package, as drivers for the MDIR application. The MDIR approach grants frequent update capabilities and fully open-sourced high ignition risk area identification, producing monthly ignition risk maps. The advantage of using this method is the ease of adaptation to any current monitoring strategy, awarding further efficiency and efficacy in reducing ignitions. The approach delivered adequate results in estimating ignitions for the three Portuguese municipalities, achieving, for several months, prediction accuracy percentages of over 70%. For the studied area, MDIR clearly identifies areas of high ignition risk and delivers an average of 62% success in predicting ignitions, thus showing potential for analyzing the impact of policy implementation and monitoring through the strategy design.

“…Another reason of using the TOPSIS is it's interpretability and applicability in various fields [42]. One of the most important advantage of TOPSIS is that regardless the number of criteria and alternatives, it has same amount of process which provide flexibility [43]. Besides that, TOPSIS has standardization step that allow to use data where data range for each criterion can be various.…”

Group technology's basic logic is grouping and producing products of the same type together. An important reason behind Group Technology becoming such an important topic is that nowadays companies have quite an extensive range and workshop type production has increased. Both fuzzy clustering and rank order clustering methods use for grouping parts and machines based on a part-machine matrix created from the production flow technique in order to increase productivity and reduce cost and workmanship required. In this study, Group Technology techniques such as the rank order clustering and fuzzy clustering methods were applied in order to increase the efficiency of the production line, reduce transportation between machines, and form a machine-parts groups in the wood cutting department of a furniture company producing modular furniture in Istanbul. The TOPSIS method was used to determine which products to take into account. According to results of the study, it is shown that fuzzy clustering method has overperformed rank order clustering method based on the evaluation criteria which are group productivity with 21,36%, group efficiency with 43,21% and grouping measure with 82,33%.

“…Abedi (2022), İran'daki orman yönetim planlarındaki en önemli ÇKKV yönteminin TOPSIS yöntemi olduğu ve ekolojik ve çevresel faktörlerin orman yangınlarının ortaya çıkması ve yayılması üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılması gerektiğinin sonucuna varmıştır. Sari (2021), orman yangını duyarlılığını analiz etmek için çok kriterli yöntemler kullanarak, orman yangınlarında topoğrafik, çevresel, iklimsel ve orman yapısal parametrelerinin belirleyici rol oynadığı sonucuna varmışlardır.…”

The importance of meadows and pastures and their share in the agricultural sector are increasing significantly. Meadows and pastures are the cheapest and easiest sources to obtain quality roughage. Meadows and pastures are the cheapest and main feed sources for livestock in Turkey. Considering that sheep ang goats and cattle breeding is carried out intensively in our country, the importance of these areas becomes more evident. Therefore, it is very important to develop an effective and sustainable pasture system. In this context, it is aimed to analyse the adequacy of pasture capacities of a province based on general, district and village and to determine the places where pasture management should be applied first. To find pasture capacity adequacy, AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) based TOPSIS (Preference sorting technique according to similarity to ideal solution) method is used for grazing capacity formulation and for priority improvement areas. It was observed that the results obtained are consistent and are applied on a real given case study.
