“…They evaluated the risks related to WRM considering uncertainties based on a stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (SMAA) model in gray environment. Akbari et al [32] proposed several strategies and policies for water resource management especially for desertification. They emphasized on drivers, pressures, states, impacts, and responses called DPSIR approach and then proposed 29 strategies whose priorities were determined through PROMETHEE method.…”

An integrated decision-making framework for selecting the best strategies of water resources management in pandemic emergencies

In recent years, due to COVID 19 pandemic that has resulted in an unpredictable increase in water consumption, the global concerns about water resources management have been increased. Furthermore, it seems essential to focus on strategies enabling to decrease water consumption. So, the aim of this study is to identify and prioritize the potential strategies of water resources management during such pandemic. To do so, we develop a hybrid decisionmaking approach. At first, the potential strategies are identified by SWOT analysis while the relevant criteria are identified based on the literature review and experts' opinions. Afterwards, potential interrelationships between criteria are determined using fuzzy DEMATEL. Then, an integrated FBWM-FANP method is applied to calculate the global weights of criteria. Eventually, the fuzzy VIKOR is utilized to rank the potential strategies. Based on the obtained results, efficiency and economic measures are the most important criteria for selecting the strategies related to water resource management in COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy of advertising and informing about correct water consumption is the best strategy which indicates the power of advertising while it could be economic and efficient either.

“…In recent years, the DPSIR model has been widely accepted and used in the process of ecological security research because it can reveal causal relationships between ecology and human activities [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. It provides a conceptual model for a research scheme for evaluation of human activities, resources, the ecology, and sustainable development [41,42] and is also applied to interdisciplinary research [36,43]. Through application of the DPSIR model framework, many studies have performed ecological security evaluation of lakes, rivers, land, and oceans, thereby providing a scientific basis for further expansion of the connotation and application of the DPSIR model framework [44,45].…”

The DPSIR model is a conceptual model established by the European Environment Agency to solve environmental problems. It provides an overall framework for analysis of environmental problems from five aspects: driving force (D), pressure (P), state (S), impact (I), and response (R). Through use of the DPSIR model framework, this paper presents the SEEC model approach for evaluating watershed ecological security. The SEEC model considers four aspects: socioeconomic impact (S), ecological health (E), ecosystem services function (E), and control management (C). Through screening, 38 evaluation indicators of the SEEC model were determined. The evaluation results showed that the ecological security index of the study area was >80, indicating a generally safe level. The lowest score was mainly attributable to the low rate of treatment of rural domestic sewage. The water quality status was used to evaluate the applicability of the SEEC model, and the calculation results indicated that the higher the score of the ecological security evaluation results, the better the water quality status. The findings show that the SEEC model demonstrates satisfactory applicability to evaluation of watershed ecological security.

“…Multicriteria decision taking (MCDM) is to choose the optimal alternative that best complies with multiple criteria from a finite set of alternatives. It is a major component of decision science, the principle of which has been widely applied in the fields of economics [1][2][3][4][5], management [6][7][8][9][10], and engineering [11][12][13][14][15]. Several methods have been proposed to deal with MCDM problems, such as TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution) [16], ELECTRE (ELimination and Choice Expressing REality) [17], and PROMETHEE [18].…”

TODIM-based multicriteria decision-making approach for assessing inventory policy in a Pythagorean fuzzy environment is proposed in this study. In supply chain, inventory appears in several forms. For effective supply chain, management businesses must choose an effective inventory policy. It is difficult to rank inventory policies. Inventory policy selection and evaluation include a procedure that can be thought about, checked after some time, and ideally improved through certain measures. Determination of the right inventory control policy is a challenge in the dynamic business environment as it enables organizations to gain an upper hand in terms of cost, quality, and service, which in turn provides a vital step in fulfilling the requirements of the customer. The multicriteria question has qualitative and quantitative factors that are vague and contradictory. Such variables are not necessarily clear and often suffer vagueness owing to the inconsistent existence of the gathered data. In the Pythagorean fuzzy setting, they are therefore considered to eliminate this vagueness by assigning membership and nonmembership roles to these factors. Finally, in this article, we performed a sensitivity analysis to demonstrate the stability of our model and to illustrate the utility of implementing such algorithms.
