A B S T R A C TRecognizing the role stakeholders have in the tourism development process, this paper focuses on assessing tourism impacts related to the tourism policy priorities from the point of view of destination stakeholders in three well-known tourism destinations in the South Bohemian Region in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to analyze stakeholder perception of tourism impacts and identify such priorities which have the greatest anticipated impacts on developing a given destination. The research is based on a mix of qualitative research approach and innovative application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The representatives of three stakeholder groups provide the researchers with information about the importance of economic and non-economic tourism impacts and contributions of tourism policy's strategic priorities to four categories of tourism impacts. Based on comprehensive data analysis, the researchers construct a three-level hierarchical structure mapping the importance of various tourism impacts, then sorting the priorities with respect to stakeholder preferences, and finally identifying a gap between the actual and preferred orientations of tourism policy. In such a way, the paper offers a comprehensive recipe for local governments which can be instrumental in realizing tourism policy while being able to promote the most important impacts of tourism on destination's development from the point of view of destination stakeholders.

“…These matrices compare different parameters to each other and give values (weights) according to their relative importance. These values range from 1 to 9, where 1 means that the two parameters being compared have the same impact and 9 reveals that one parameter is particularly more important than the other [36]. Finally, the weight of each factor is calculated based on the values given to this factor in comparison to all other factors (Table I).…”

Abstract-In an ecosystem, there is need to establish the quantity and quality of resources and their suitability for a certain range of land uses in order to assure its future productivity and sustainability of biodiversity. Parametric methods are widely used for land suitability evaluation. A new parametric concept "equation" of land suitability evaluation has been proposed to improve results of land suitability evaluation. Land suitability assessment for wheat production was conducted in order to compare results of the suggest method with classical parametric methods. Organic matter, CaCO3, pH, Slope, texture, drainage, depth, EC and altitude were recognized as factors affecting land suitability for wheat production in the study area. Comparing results of the three parametric methods used showed that the proposed equation gave higher suitability index values than classical methods. Great correlation has been found between results of the three methods. Organic matter, topology and pH were found to be the limiting factors for wheat production in the study area. Generally, the proposed equation may improve land suitability assessment process and gives better realistic results.Index Terms-Land suitability, parametric methods, wheat, pairwise comparison.

“…For example, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a decision technique that begins by the modeling of the problem as a hierarchy containing the decision goal, the alternatives to achieve it, and the criteria in order to evaluate the alternatives. We evaluate all the alternatives and highlight priorities, which help us to make decisions [Saaty, 2000].…”

ABSTRACT. We present in this paper an operational analysis of a complex system following a Model Based Systems Engineering approach, illustrated by a case study on electric vehicles. We explain some strategic issues and reasons that make electric vehicles important and complex systems, and how these vehicles can significantly contribute to the European policies for sustainable development. We explain why it is necessary to apply a Systems Engineering approach to deal with the complexity of such systems, and we give an overview of the architectural design framework we follow. We present a model of the system of interest and of its environment built from the analysis of public documents and literature reviews. This allowed us to identify the key stakeholders, external interfaces, needs, use cases and operational scenarios. Based on this operational analysis, we present ways to pursue functional and trade-off analyses.
