Research on the Weighting Values of Community Aging-Friendly Construction Indexes With Different Expert Groups

Abstract

The construction of weight values for the indicators of community aging-friendly construction is helpful to guide the formulation of strategies for allocating elderly resources in community aging-friendly constructions, and to reflect the shortcomings of community aging-friendly constructions and propose improvement strategies when evaluating the effectiveness of the existing community aging-friendly constructions. The paper uses the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to calculate the weighting values of each indicator, consulting the government, industry, and academic experts. The research results show that the weighting-value order is “public environment ( W = 0.364),” “health care ( W = 0.342),” “humanistic care ( W = 0.204)” and “social economy ( W = 0.090).” Accordingly, the article proposes specific suggestions to improve the effectiveness of community aging-friendly constructions, including the need to find consensus among all parties involved in the aging industry, the need to focus on improving the public environment of the community, and the need to improve the socio-economic policies as soon as possible.

Comparative Sensitivity Analysis of Some Fuzzy AHP Methods

“…Additionally, Ilić et al employed FAHP to prioritize strategies for implementing unmanned aircraft systems for the smart city transformation in Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Serbia [24]. Further applications include improving the effectiveness of the existing community aging-friendly constructions and developing strategies for resource allocation [25], assessing various factors influencing medical tourism destinations [26], studying the operational risk of the Chinese Train Control System-Level 3 in China [27], and conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the hydrodynamic retarders of heavy-duty vehicles [28].…”
