“…MCDM attends to the structuring and resolution of multiple-criteria decisions and planning problems. The aim is to support decision makers who face these problems at the point of decision-making (Majumder, 2015). Various methods, including AHP, have been developed for this support of decision makers in situations of multi-criteria decision making.…”

Selection of the best hotel for vacations requires a highly complex decision-making process. This complexity stems from factors including, but not limited to, the products of the hotel, information regarding the hotel and personal preferences. Determining the factors which affect the selection of the hotel by consumers traveling for vacations can improve their satisfaction by providing better quality services. The main purpose of this study is to define the factors which affect the selection of hotels by consumers traveling for vacation and to prioritize these factors from the customers' viewpoint. Another purpose of this study is to analyze whether these factors vary by gender. In this context, a comprehensive literature research has been done in order to define the factors for selection of hotels. The method of analysis for carried out for this study is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, and the data for analysis has been gathered by survey method. The survey has been conducted on a panel of instructors employed at S.U. Beyşehir Ali Akkanat Campus who travel for vacation at least once a year. Research findings show that prioritizing the factors which affect the selection of hotels can vary by gender. However, putting the role of gender aside, factors which affect consumers the most for their travels for vacation are Safety and Security, Pleasure, Room Facilities; whereas factors which affect the consumers the least are Informing, Parking Lots and Network Services. Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the literature in terms of the feature of using AHP method for the first time in determining the importance level of customer-based hotel selection factors, and evaluating whether hotel preference factors differ according to gender. The importance of this study is that it is an attempt to provide researchers and hotel managers with the broadest internationally accepted and applicable hotel selection factors within the scope of the literature reviewed.

“…It has been used around the world in many fields such as such as government, business, industry, healthcare, and education [9]. GIS-based AHP has become popular in research because of its capacity to integrate a large quantity of heterogeneous data and obtaining the required weights for analysis can be relatively straight forward, even for a large number of criteria [6] when using this method.…”

The aim of this study was to develop a suitability model for Green gram production in Kitui County using GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation. Soil and topography were chosen as the main criteria for analysis and 6 sub criteria (soil texture, depth, pH, cation exchange capacity drainage and slope). The criteria were selected based on crop experts' knowledge and available Green gram requirements literature. The criteria maps were reclassified into 4 suitability levels Highly (S1), Moderately (S2), Marginally (S3) and not suitable (N) based on FAO guidelines. The Analytical Hierarchy Process decision making tool was used to determine the perceived weights or influence that each criteria carries. The weights were then used as inputs in the weighted overlay and a suitability map generated. Based on the findings all land is suitable for Green gram production with varying degrees of suitability where 32.7%, 23.7% and 43.6% as highly, moderately and marginally suitable respectively. Major limitations that prevent land from being highly suitable include acidity, alkalinity and poor drainage in soils and in some cases steep slopes.
