Using the Analytic Network Process to establish a new evaluation model of environment livability

Prioritization of the Indicators and Sub-Indicators of Maqasid Al-Shariah in Measuring Liveability of Cities

“…Further, spatial difference of the functional elements of land use was ascribed as the main reason for the difference in liveability measures. Lee and Chi (2010) developed an integrated method using ANP and Delphi to evaluate liveability of a selected number of places in China using five criteria: health, safety, comfort, convenience and socio-economics. The findings, as the authors claim, provide the local authorities with information to help combat natural disasters, but the paper did not provide the details on how these disasters could be averted.…”

A participatory multicriteria approach to evaluate strategic projects for local sustainable development.

“…The primary classification means knowledge fields in which ANP was used to support decision making (Dos Santos et al 2019). 11 different application areas were found: Territorial and urban studies have the largest numbers of manuscripts (91), followed by Manufacturing (54), Energy (31), Business and Management (28), and Construction (21); meanwhile, Agricultural (15), Transport (6), Extraction/Mining (3), Fuel/biofuel (2) and Retail (2) areas gathering a small fraction. Five contributions on specifics application areas have been located in the 'Other' group (Figure 2.3).…”

“…Usually, it is done by meeting with experts. Few cases applied traditional or modified Delphi method (Lee and Chi 2010;Pourebrahim et al 2010;Wang and Zeng 2010;Wolfslehner et al 2005;Wu 2011;. In the particular case of a spatial application, influences among the elements of each cluster reflect the natural dynamics of the environmental and territorial systems, where link and interaction pathways exist between individual elements (Ferretti 2011).…”

“…Each one ordered the criteria according to their importance and then the authors calculated a score value according to the ratio of accumulated weighting previously received. Lee and Chi(2010) first, defined a list of 100 experts and sent questionnaires to assess criteria in the early stage, 56 questionnaires were returned. The completed pairwise comparisons were sent to those 56, and 36 questionnaires were returned.…”
