“…A multicriteria Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance over 212 European companies was estimated by [17], who considered different criteria, subcriteria and indicators. Some recent applications of multi-criteria decision-making methods on ranking alternatives include AHP, Dematel or rough BWM-MAIRCA [18][19][20][21].…”

Designing a Sustainable Development Goal Index through a Goal Programming Model: The Case of EU-28 Countries

2018

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations are at the center of the global political agenda to eradicate extreme poverty, achieve universal education, promote gender equality and ensure environmental sustainability between others. These goals are organised in 169 indicators, which give an accurate perspective on the main dimensions related with country sustainable development. To gain insight into the relative position of involved countries, it is necessary to develop a composite index that summarises the global progress in the achievement of these goals, but considering possible conflicts and trade-offs between individual SDGs. The objective of this paper is to introduce a Goal Programming model to calculate a composite SDG index, capable of overcoming some of the limitations of celebrated approaches such as arithmetic and geometric averages. The proposed model balances between two extreme solutions: one which calculates a consensus index that reflects the majority trend of the SDGs, and another one which biases the estimated index towards those SDGs that show the most discrepancy with the rest. The model is applied on the EU-28 countries, and shows that the best performing countries regarding the sustainable development are Austria and Luxembourg, while Greece and Romania remain as the worst performers.

“…Although all three algorithms are able to solve the reduction problem, the emphasis is somewhat different [8,15]. For example, the RS theory mainly focuses on the attribute reduction problem [23,28] and shows much potential in the multilabel learning [29,36], while the PCA is usually applied to the dimension reduction problem in the machine learning [9,16] and multi-objective optimization (MOO) [18,20]. What's more, the RS theory reduces attributes based on the partition of equivalence relation, which can be accomplished through the evaluation metric [30,31], like mutual information and information entropy [10,38].…”

Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) always suffers from the result inconsistency and computational complexity problem, due to numbers of redundant and relational attributes (indexes) of the initial evaluation index system. Therefore, this paper studies the index system (IS) reduction problem through selecting the most representative indicator from each index subsystem after the IS structure partition. First, we propose and demonstrate the Index Subsystem Judgement theorem to improve the efficiency of the classic system structure partition algorithm. Second, an algorithm of index system reduction based on the index similarity (ISRS) is put forward. The ISRS is able to reduce the index quantity while still keeping the index meaning. Third, we define the direction loss rate to measure the evaluation ability loss of the IS during reduction. The algorithm is tested for a synthetic dataset to compare the proposed ISRS with different index reduction algorithms, followed by an extensive experimentation with a real-world financial dataset. Experiment results illustrate that our proposed method is able to obtain more accessible and available reduction results in practice.

“…The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a multi-criteria method that supports decision making with conflict criteria and alternatives. It has been thoroughly studied and improved through various scientific papers at prestigious universities worldwide [35][36][37]. The AHP method has great significance for problem structuring and the decision-making process.…”

Selection Criteria and Assessment of the Impact of Traffic Accessibility on the Development of Suburbs

et al. 2018

When defining criteria that have an influence on traffic accessibility in suburbs, it is necessary to take into account the specificity of a concrete urban unit. In existing scientific papers, the authors have dealt with the impact of the remoteness of settlements and their accessibility from the city center. The main aims of this paper are to define and quantify the criteria that have the greatest influence on traffic accessibility in suburban areas, that is, to develop a model of traffic accessibility. This model refers to traffic accessibility in suburban areas, where an urban public transport system is operational and represents a qualitative approach to research. Research has shown that factors such as a network of public transport (PT) lines, a network of accessible roads in a settlement, travel time, and timetables are of great importance in the description and generation of a new model. This model was tested in 23 suburban districts with regard to the needed walking time. The Fuzzy AHP (FAHP) method, one of the most popular methods for multi-criteria decision making, was used. Based on the results presented in this paper, it is expected that the application of this model will enable development and sustainability in suburban areas, as well as greater social equality and involvement of dwellers (especially the younger generation) in social activities, in view of achieving a better quality of life.
