DAHP Expected Utility Based Evaluation Model for Management Performance on Interior Environmental Decoration – An Example in Taiwan

Abstract

Construction industry has been criticized as the industry producing high pollution. Especially, a newly built house is often torn down and renovated the walls in the interior space at the life cycle stage of a housing project when buyers are using and maintaining, due to distinct customer demand and preference. Structural walls and beam columns are even randomly drilled for the piping requirement of air conditioner pipelines to result in public danger. It could be attributed to the regulation of interior environmental decoration without safety check in Taiwan and some interior designers, in order to strive for cases in the high competition, corresponding to customers' demands for changing interior patterns. In addition to newly built houses, the sale and transfer of second-hand houses is another thought for the renovation work of interior space environmental decoration to disturb the life of neighbors and seriously damage the environment. Accordingly, Delphi method, Analytical hierarchy process, and Utility theory are applied in this study to establish an AHP expected utility based evaluation model for management performance on interior environmental decoration, aiming to provide the safety management for interior environmental decoration and reduce the management review for energy consumption and environmental protection.

“…The Delphi technique has been used in various fields of study, including program planning, needs assessment, policy determination and resource utilization, to develop a full range of alternatives, explore or expose underlying assumptions, as well as to correlate judgments in many disciplines [32]. As the Delphi method presents the advantage of anonymous decision-making from experts in industries, government, and universities, it is applied at the modeling stage [33].…”

Real Estate Developer's Product Positioning: Ahp-Utility-Based Model

“…After defining the fuzzy scale for (y H , y L ) and the values for y mi and y ma , the constants A and B and the utility function for each criterion can be obtained using the above equation. Relevant utility theory-related research includes risk management (Han, D. Y. Kim, H. Kim, & Jang, 2008); evaluating household energy conservation performance (Hsueh, 2012); interior environmental design (Chen et al, 2017) and determining how the insurance market affects investments in safety measures (Abrahamsen & Asche, 2011). There have been a few study results on this research topic, but there is scant literature on location of the social housing residential environment.…”

“…-The characteristics of such decision theories as analytical hierarchy process and utility theory are used to develop a customer-oriented model of residential site selection evaluation. Although there have been several studies on this issue, their purposes differ and each has its own limitations (Chen, Cheng, Hsueh, & Qu, 2017;Hsueh, 2012;Hsueh & Yan, 2013), without having been practically applied to residential buildings. The present study uses the evaluation and comparison of the key factors, such as (1) various community service facilities, (2) innovative green building designs, and (3) construction as the evaluative tool for people in purchasing property and housing suppliers before launching their products.…”
