“…As one of the more commonly used verification methods, SA is used 11 times in the sample [ 11 , 82 , 91 , 92 , 94 , 95 , 100 , 109 , 110 , 112 , 158 ], and is mainly used to test the standard score (or performance measure) of the effectiveness of alternative ranking. Empirical data are verified by comparing the results of MCDA with the follow-up data of existing research objects or the existing situation of the implemented program.…”

The rational allocation of spatial resources is an important factor to ensure the sustainable development of rural areas, and effective pre-emptive spatial evaluation is the prerequisite for identifying the predicament of rural resource allocation. Multi-criteria decision-making analysis has advantages in solving multi-attribute and multi-objective decision-making problems, and has been used in sustainability evaluation research in various disciplines in recent years. Previous studies have proved the value of spatial evaluation using multi-criteria decision analysis in guiding rural incremental development and inventory updates, but systematic reviews of the previous literature from a multidisciplinary perspective and studies of the implementation steps of the evaluation framework are lacking. In the current paper, the research is reviewed from the two levels of quantitative statistics and research content, and through vertical and horizontal comparisons based on three common operating procedures: standard formulation, weight distribution, and ranking and verification. Through the results, the application status and characteristics of the MCDA method in related research are determined, and five research foci in the future are proposed.

“…Several studies available in the literature are focused on the implementation of decision support systems to assess forest biomass availability at different scales (Fernandes and Costa 2010;Rørstad et al 2010;Zambelli et al 2012;Sacchelli et al 2013;Statuto et al 2013;Quinta-Nova et al 2017), whereas others (Panichelli and Gnansounou 2008;Frombo et al 2009;López Rodríguez et al 2009;Viana et al 2010;Geri et al 2018;Abreu et al 2020;Pergola et al 2020;Van Holsbeeck and Srivastava 2020) are mainly focused on estimating the optimal location for installing a biomass power plant. These studies generally provide estimations at stand or regional scale, starting from the prescribed cutting volume, forest inventory, or literature data.…”

The aim of the work was to quantify the mass of logging residues (branches and tops; t yr−1 dry matter, DM) for energy generation starting from Forest Management Plans (FMP) data. The methodology was applied to public stands of an Italian district (area: 3.60 × 104 ha; period: 2009–2018). Compared to the previous preliminary analysis, the potentially available residues were computed considering forest accessibility and road traversability, by combining FMPs data with a geographic information system (GIS). New issues that were assessed here were: (i) representation of stands consisting of multiple disconnected parts; (ii) calculation of producible residues by using different values of biomass expansion factors (Scenario 1, S1; Scenario 2, S2). The potentially available residues computed for the analyzed period were used to quantify the current sustainable supply. Then, the potentially generated heat (thermal energy, TE; GJ yr−1) and electricity (EE; GJ yr−1), and the potentially avoided CO2 emissions into the atmosphere (EM; t yr−1 CO2) related to the final combustion process were computed by assuming that the current supply of residues was used as woodchips in a local centralized heating plant currently operating. For both S1 and S2, the large difference between the potentially producible and the potentially available residues demonstrated that geodata are essential for reliable estimations. Moreover, as the required information for the GIS analysis can be easily found in databases made available by forestry authorities, the proposed approach can be applied also to other areas; this could be helpful to support local decision-makers in defining sustainable practices for residues recovery.

“…However, this condition is avoided when the flow of information circulating in the supply chain runs smoothly and which automatically forms a supply chain that is more likely to be a centralized planner [15]. Besides, previous studies have suggested factors that encourage sellerbuyer relationships for flexibility, as well as discounts in product quantity [16], [17], and payment options [18].…”

Recent advances in the development of information technology and the rapid use of decision support systems play significant roles in various fields, including the fisheries sector. Fishery-based activity for small island regions created more complicated problems that limited marine resources and high production costs. Thus, the need to develop efficient and effective tools for interconnecting supply and production becomes more crucial than ever to help local coastal communities. This study aimed to designs a web-based DSS for a sustainable supply chain of sectors in Southeast Maluku Regency, Indonesia (SIRIPIKAN). Firstly, we crafted the DSS framework to identify the fishing, supplier, and seller locations. Secondly, we measured the level of sustainability of marine resources. Thirdly, the web-based DSS can help local coastal communities increase managers' capability and ability in the fisheries-related business activity carried out. SIRIPIKAN aims to increase the profitability of fisheries business activities in coastal communities and preserve marine resources. This research combined the data mining activities with spatial analysis to obtain the cluster support map and MSY to measure sustainability and feasibility study as an approach for the development of the system. The model provides an integrated sustainable production with users' input used to optimize the decision-making process of profitability and sustainability in existing marine resources.
