“…Decision makers often face situations of making multiple choice decisions on various issues (Darko et al, 2019). In these cases, it is possible to utilize Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques.…”

“…Advanced by Saaty, AHP represents a popular MCDM method which has drawn attention among all industries in the last 20 years (Darko et al, 2019). AHP, has been developed in order to overcome complex and multi-criteria decision-making problems, and is based on its developer Saaty's experiences while conducting research projects at the USA Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.…”

“…In this context, bearing in mind the decision objectives, each criteria's relative level of importance on the second level of the hierarchy is detected through pairwise comparisons. These pairwise comparisons are based on a nine point scale, as shown in Table 1 (Darko et al, 2019).…”

“…Thereafter, the CI is divided by the Random Index (RI) which is the standard correction value and is illustrated in Table 3. At this stage, if the decision makers' calculated rate of consistency is over the 0,1 threshold, they are asked review their original decisions (Darko et al, 2019;Omürbek, Makas, & Omürbek, 2015). At the sixth step, the ranking of each alternative is multiplied by the weight of sub-criteria and summed in order to obtain local rankings according to each criterion.…”

Selection of the best hotel for vacations requires a highly complex decision-making process. This complexity stems from factors including, but not limited to, the products of the hotel, information regarding the hotel and personal preferences. Determining the factors which affect the selection of the hotel by consumers traveling for vacations can improve their satisfaction by providing better quality services. The main purpose of this study is to define the factors which affect the selection of hotels by consumers traveling for vacation and to prioritize these factors from the customers' viewpoint. Another purpose of this study is to analyze whether these factors vary by gender. In this context, a comprehensive literature research has been done in order to define the factors for selection of hotels. The method of analysis for carried out for this study is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, and the data for analysis has been gathered by survey method. The survey has been conducted on a panel of instructors employed at S.U. Beyşehir Ali Akkanat Campus who travel for vacation at least once a year. Research findings show that prioritizing the factors which affect the selection of hotels can vary by gender. However, putting the role of gender aside, factors which affect consumers the most for their travels for vacation are Safety and Security, Pleasure, Room Facilities; whereas factors which affect the consumers the least are Informing, Parking Lots and Network Services. Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the literature in terms of the feature of using AHP method for the first time in determining the importance level of customer-based hotel selection factors, and evaluating whether hotel preference factors differ according to gender. The importance of this study is that it is an attempt to provide researchers and hotel managers with the broadest internationally accepted and applicable hotel selection factors within the scope of the literature reviewed.

“…This model consequently is a method of making a decision by grouping the criteria with a systematic approach based on human perception. The outline of this method has three steps: 1) determining the hierarchy, which is made from a "based on the purpose" structure; 2) pairwise comparison between criteria to another criterion; and 3) verification of the consistency of the weighted value (Darko et al 2018).…”

Maluku is one of the provinces of the eastern part of Indonesia, consisting of 11 regencies. The Maluku branch of Statistics Indonesia reported in 2018 that in 2013-2018 the number of poor people in Maluku's rural areas increased by 1,970. Concurrently, the number of poor people in urban areas decreased by around 6,070 people. This fact showed that development in Maluku Province hadn't been implemented effectively and equally. This study aimed to determine the development priority in Maluku Province using the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. The determination of priorities was based on three aspects in the human development index concept, namely education, health, and economy. Data from Statistics Indonesia on life expectancy, mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and per capita expenditure were the indicators were used as the indicators in this study. The results showed that there were 10 regencies with a high level of priority, with the exception being Ambon City, which had a low-level priority. Classification of regencies showed that there was a disparity between them. These findings can help to inform future development designs in Maluku Province.

BackgroundHuman errors are widely acknowledged as the primary cause of structural failures in the construction industry. Research has found that such errors arise from the situation created by human factors and organizational factors embedded in the task context. However, these contextual factors have not been adequately addressed in the construction industry. Therefore, this study aims to identify the critical Human and Organizational Factors (HOFs) that influence structural safety in frequently performed tasks in structural design and construction.MethodsThrough a comprehensive literature review, a framework consisting of potential critical factors called the HOPE framework, is presented. To identify the most critical HOFs that contribute to human error occurrences, a questionnaire survey to experts in the Dutch construction industry was conducted. Finally, the resulting framework was compared with three actual structural failures for validation.ResultsThis study shows that the HOFs should be extended with project‐related factors (P) and working environment‐related factors (E) due to the fact that these task contextual conditions play a significant role in shaping professionals' on‐the‐job performance. Furthermore, a survey identified 14 HOFs as critical in contributing to an error‐prone situation in the structural design and construction tasks.ConclusionThe presented HOPE framework and the identified critical HOFs for structural safety can assist engineers with better hazard identification and quality assurance in practice.
