TLDR
One of the main conclusions of the study is that all the proper landfill capacity available in the planning region should be used up and the energy potential of waste should be utilized within the region.About:

Application of multi-criteria decision making to sustainable energy planning—A review
S.D. Pohekar,Muthu Ramachandran +1 more
TL;DR: A review of more than 90 published papers is presented here to analyze the applicability of various methods discussed and it is observed that Analytical Hierarchy Process is the most popular technique followed by outranking techniques PROMETHEE and ELECTRE.

Waste management models and their application to sustainable waste management.
Anne Morrissey,J Browne +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to review the types of models that are currently being used in the area of municipal waste management and to highlight some major shortcomings of these models.

Solid waste management in European countries: a review of systems analysis techniques.
TL;DR: Considering systems analysis models and tools in a synergistic way would certainly provide opportunities to develop better solid waste management strategies leading to conformity with current standards and foster future perspectives for both the waste management industry and government agencies in European Union.

Ranking irregularities when evaluating alternatives by using some ELECTRE methods
TL;DR: In this article, rank reversals are reported to occur when the ELECTRE II and III methods are used in solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems and the results of these examinations show that the rates of the three types of ranking irregularities were rather significant in both the simulated decision problems and real-life cases studied in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental impact assessment using the evidential reasoning approach
TL;DR: The ER approach will be used to aggregate multiple environmental factors, resulting in an aggregated distributed assessment for each alternative policy, and a new analytical ER algorithm will be investigated which provides a means for using the ER approach in decision situations where an explicit ER aggregation function is needed.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.

Decisions with Multiple Objectives: Preferences and Value Trade-Offs
TL;DR: In this article, a confused decision maker, who wishes to make a reasonable and responsible choice among alternatives, can systematically probe his true feelings in order to make those critically important, vexing trade-offs between incommensurable objectives.

The outranking approach and the foundations of electre methods
TL;DR: The main features of real-world problems for which the outranking approach is appropriate and the concept of outranking relations are described and the definition of such out ranking relations is given for the main ELECTRE methods.
