“…The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to analyze information provided by stakeholders in determining decisions on the selection of processed mangrove fruit products into processed products that are prioritized for development [18,19]. AHP uses the Likert scale for questions answered by stakeholders.…”

“…There are five alternative products that will be chosen by stakeholders, namely dodol, syrup, jam, candy, and soap. There are five criteria that form the basis for product development decisions, namely: availability of mangrove fruit raw materials and auxiliary materials, packaging, product benefits, product prices, and product quality [16,[18][19][20][21]. Priority is the relative weight given by stakeholders to five criteria for product selection.…”

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of processing mangrove fruit into various processed products and the priority of developing mangrove fruit processing into various products. The research method uses a survey method by interviewing all members of the Joint Business Group (JBG). This research also interviewed and conducted Focused Group Discussions (FGD) with the government, universities, and social community institutions with a total of 20 people. Data analysis using revenue-cost ratio (R-C ratio) analysis, Break-Even Point analysis (BEP), and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results showed that: (1) All processed products: dodol, syrup, jam, candy, and soap deserve to be developed with their respective revenue-cost ratio values of 1.

“…This section is divided into two phases; the first presents an evaluation of the wind potential in the Dominican Republic through free-access datasets from numerical climate prediction [29,41]. In the second phase, previous methodologies are complemented with the RACI matrix tool to identify the responsible actors and their roles in order to take action or strategies for the proliferation of the use of urban wind energy [31].…”

“…Basically, the methodologies include the stages of selection and characterization of the study area, the evaluation of the wind resource through various methods, the selection of the most appropriate wind turbine, the estimation of annual energy production, an economic estimation, an environmental impact evaluation and the evaluation of resilience [26,27,42]. Recently, tools for strategic planning have been included in existing methodologies, such as the SOWT-AHP analysis, to identify internal and external and positive and negative factors that can be included in the dissemination and use of this type of distributed technology [29].…”

“…They have neglected the ecosystem of actors and the responsibility of those involved in the implementation of public policies and the development of energy projects. In this regard, Vallejo Díaz et al [29] recently presented a hybrid Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis to determine the key factors influencing the proliferation of urban wind energy and the relevance of these factors. The authors applied the methodology to a case study from the Dominican Republic.…”

Urban wind energy has emerged as an attractive source of distributed generation in cities to achieve sustainable development goals. The advancement in technologies for the use of urban wind energy has offered an alternative for the decarbonization of cities and the energy transition. The objectives of this work are (1) to identify the potential of wind energy through numerical weather prediction (NWP) data tools and (2) to identify the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in the decision-making process. A methodology was developed in two phases and applied to a case study in the Dominican Republic. The first phase consisted of estimating the wind energy potential for the 32 provinces at a height of 10 m using open access NWP tools provided by NASA. In the second phase, 28 stakeholders were identified through snowball sampling. The Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed (RACI) matrix tool was applied to identify the roles of the 28 institutions addressed at the country level as relevant in the decision-making process for the energy sector. The annual average wind speed and energy potential for each province were determined. It was found that 24 provinces have poor potentials, below <4.5 m/s. In the northwest and east is where there is the greatest potential, between 4.83 and 6.63 m/s. The population density was established, and it was observed that the provinces with greater potential are less densely populated. Through 59 interviews, 28 institutions were identified and evaluated due to their relevance in decision making for the implementation of energy projects. According to the RACI matrix, the Ministry of Energy and Mines has been categorized as “A”, electricity distribution companies as “R”, energy associations and universities as “C”, and educational and justice institutions as “I”.
