“…The most popular and commonly applied method in the analyzed sample was AHP, which was developed in 1980 [114]. AHP was used most commonly for the weighting of criteria as a single method or in integration with others for selection and decision-making [58,80,82,87,89,91,[93][94][95][98][99][100]110,113]. Fuzzy sets were the second most popular approach in the analyzed sample.…”

“…Turskis and Juodagalvienė [93] proposed a decision-making model to assess stairs for dwellings. Ebrahimian et al [94] studied the selection of the most suitable construction method in urban storm water collection systems using a systematic and structured hybrid multi-criteria decision making approach. Nezarat et al [95] performed a risk assessment of a mechanized tunneling project by the application of MCDM techniques.…”

Sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology can be supported by fundamental scientific achievements and multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) theories. The current paper aims at overviewing the state of the art in terms of published papers related to theoretical methods that are applied to support sustainable evaluation and selection processes in civil engineering. The review is limited solely to papers referred to in the Clarivate Analytic Web of Science core collection database. As the focus is on multiple-criteria decision-making, it aims at reviewing how the papers on MCDM developments and applications have been distributed by period of publishing, by author countries and institutions, and by journals. Detailed analysis of 2015-2017 journal articles from two Web of Science categories (engineering civil and construction building technology) is presented. The articles are grouped by research domains, problems analyzed and the decision-making approaches used. The findings of the current review paper show that MCDM applications have been constantly growing and particularly increased in the last three years, confirming the great potential and prospects of applying MCDM methods for sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology.

“…We then utilised the FAHP to analyse those responses. The first step outlines the extent of the analysis using FAHP, and then this method is applied to the factor selection problem (Mahmoodzadeh et al 2007). As mentioned previously, the FAHP of this study is focused on the integration of the knowledge of experts.…”

Abstract. Regional trade cooperation has become an important component of construction industry due to the Free Trade Agreement. This segment of the market presents many challenges for construction firms. Establishing suitable international partnering relations is an effective strategy for adapting to the additional unpredictability of international markets. This research integrates the Balanced Scorecard system with Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process for comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of the relevant bilateral cooperation. Commercial cooperation across the Taiwan Strait is selected as a case study for determining the evaluating methodology. After examining data from Chinese firms, 12 factors for partner selection are identified. The factors are compared with practical conditions of worldwide and local markets to establish their viability. The methodology provides a framework for evaluating potential partners when attempting to enter foreign markets. Additionally, it identifies critical factors for developing optimal market entrance strategies, contracts, and risk management; results can also be golcally (globally and locally) tailored to promote the efficiency of international cooperation.

“…Technology selection and supplier selection occupy a leading position in the domain. Decision support applying hybrid approaches can be observed in evaluating and ranking di erent technologies, such as selecting a proper construction [102] or modernization [142] method, the best recycling method [105], equipment, or other technologies in a manufacturing enterprise [107,118]. An interesting application is observed for prioritizing advanced technology projects at NASA [112].…”

Abstract. To support evaluation and selection processes in engineering, formal decisionmaking methods can be used. A great number of works applying diverse Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques for engineering problems have been published recently. A new approach of hybrid MCDM methods has been developed, rapidly, during the past few years. The current paper aims at lling the gap and summarizing publications related to applications of hybrid MCDM for engineering. The study is limited solely to papers referred in Thomson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection academic database. It aims to review how the papers have been distributed by period of publishing and by country; multiple-criteria decision-making methods have been used, most frequently, in developing hybrid approaches and in domains the methods have been applied for. For a more detailed analysis of applications, journal articles from engineering research area were grouped by research domains and further by analyzed issues. Findings of the current review paper con rm that hybrid MCDM approaches, due to their abilities in integrating di erent techniques, can assist in handling miscellaneous information taking into account stakeholders' preferences when making decisions in engineering.
