“…After the insertion of data, the PROMETHEE software (version 1.3.1.0.-Academic Edition) has calculated a scenario ranking (in other words, a preference order of alternatives), which is based on the given influences of the criteria groups (three scenario rankings) or combinations of criteria groups (four scenario rankings). According to Antunes et al, PROMETHEE is a pairwise comparison-based outranking methodology used to compare and evaluate a finite set of alternatives in terms of multiple criteria [61]. PROMETHEE software allows for a comparison between scenarios (the preference order), given the influence of each criteria group or criteria groups combination.…”

Implementation of Sustainable Motorways of the Sea Services Multi-Criteria Analysis of a Croatian Port System

et al. 2019

Motorways of the Sea present a practical example of combined and sustainable transport. With respect to the present model of functionality of the transport system in the Republic of Croatia, where the development of the port and of the gravitational transport system is left to each individual port (six independent ports), and where there is no systematic approach to specialization of each port or route, the results of the analysis are not promising. The goal of this research is to explain why the current Motorways of the Sea implementation model is inefficient and unsustainable. The analysis shows that a scientific approach to multicriteria analysis, which includes the identification of all relevant factors, the analysis of the transport infrastructure, as well as the identification of criteria which could potentially affect the Motorways of the Sea system, can correctly define the optimal model for the implementation of a sustainable Motorways of the Sea system.

“…In order to aggregate the preference information stemming from the structuring of the problem, we have chosen the Preference Ranking Organisation Methods for Enrichement Evaluation (PROMETHEE [2,21]). Indeed, PROMETHEE is a MCDM method widely used for the evaluation of agricultural yield [11], sustainability of cultural systems [19] or land use for agricultural activities [14]. Its relative simplicity makes it easily understood even by non-expert stakeholders involved in a decision-making process.…”

Decisions on the choice of varieties to be planted in a region are delicate because they can have positive or negative long-term consequences on the economic, environmental and nutritional level of a country. For this reason, a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) based approach is proposed to conduct this choosing process. The proposed approach first of all makes it possible to identify alternatives, i.e. agricultural varieties, criteria with their weighting and evaluation process, in interaction with the stakeholders in the production-processing-consumption food chain. Afterward, PROMETHEE method (I and II) is used to aggregate the preference informations stemming from the structuring process and make it possible to choose the best agricultural varieties suitable for a given region. An Application for the selection of suitable cowpea varieties for the Central-Eastern region of Burkina Faso is made to demonstrate the implementation and effectiveness of our approach. As a result, the varieties KVx442-3-25SH (Komcallé) and Yiis-Yandé emerged as the best choices of suitable cowpea varieties for the Central-Eastern region of Burkina Faso

“…The Multi-Criteria Decision Methods (MCDM) are capable of assisting decision-makers in problems that present several alternatives and criteria [35,36]. These methods make it possible to order, compare, or choose the best solution [37,38]. In this context, several methods have been developed, such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [39], VlseKriterijumska Optimizcija I Kaompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) [40], Elimination et Choix Traduisant la Réalité (ELECTRE) [41], Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) [42], Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) [32], Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) [43], an acronym in Portuguese for Interactive Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (TODIM) [35], among others.…”

Multi-Criteria Decision Method for Sustainable Watercourse Management in Urban Areas

et al. 2020

The rapid urban growth followed by disordered occupation has been generating significant impacts on cities, bringing losses of an economic and social nature that directly interfere with the well-being of the population. In this work, a proposal for local urban infrastructure problems associated with watercourse management is presented, comparing Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) techniques and Low-Impact Development (LID) concepts with alternative traditional interventions. The study addresses sustainable alternatives to cope with the urbanization of the Cehab’s open channel, which is an important urban watercourse tributary of the Muriaé River, at the municipality of Itaperuna, Rio de Janeiro—Brazil. The multi-criteria decision-making method called Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was applied here. The results highlighted the better performance of sustainable techniques when compared to the traditional ones, with an overall advantage of the geogrids and geocells for this case study. The obtained TOPSIS coefficients-C for these techniques were higher (0.59488, for Reach 1; and 0.68656, for Reach 2) than those for the others. This research, therefore, presented an important urban watercourse management methodology that can be further applied to guide sustainable investments and help the decision-making associated with the development of territories.
