“…For larger datasets with more influencing factors with better data quality, a more sophisticated method will provide valuable results. However, to check for consistency and increase the reliability of the results the application of several methods is encouraged [72]. Independently of the method used, the decision maker must be familiar with its strengths but also weaknesses [73].…”

Abstract:The decisions taken in rehabilitation planning for the urban water networks will have a long lasting impact on the functionality and quality of future services provided by urban infrastructure. These decisions can be assisted by different approaches ranging from linear depreciation for estimating the economic value of the network over using a deterioration model to assess the probability of failure or the technical service life to sophisticated multi-criteria decision support systems. Subsequently, the aim of this paper is to compare five available multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods (ELECTRE, AHP, WSM, TOPSIS, and PROMETHEE) for the application in an integrated rehabilitation management scheme for a real world case study and analyze them with respect to their suitability to be used in integrated asset management of water systems. The results of the different methods are not equal. This occurs because the chosen score scales, weights and the resulting distributions of the scores within the criteria do not have the same impact on all the methods. Independently of the method used, the decision maker must be familiar with its strengths but also weaknesses. Therefore, in some cases, it would be rational to use one of the simplest methods. However, to check for consistency and increase the reliability of the results, the application of several methods is encouraged.

ÖĞRENĠM YÖNETĠM SĠSTEMĠ PERFORMANS DEĞERLENDĠRMESĠ ÖZETUzaktan eğitim, iletişim ve bilgi teknolojilerinin gelişmesine paralel olarak iş hayatında ve eğitim kurumlarında son yıllarda giderek artan bir şekilde karşılık bulmaktadır. Uzaktan eğitim vermek isteyen kurumlar, kendi stratejik hedeflerine ve iş kültürüne uyacak en uygun öğrenim yönetim sistemini (ÖYS) belirlemek durumundadır. Çeşitli yazılım firmaları ve üniversiteler çok farklı ÖYS modelleri sunmaktadır. Kurumlar, bu modeller arasından kendilerine en ugun ÖYS modelini seçmek durumundadırlar. Değişik özellikteki ÖYS modellerinin bulunduğu bir ortamda kurumların kendilerine uyan ÖYS'ni seçmesi çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) problemi olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, ÇKKV tekniklerinden TOPSIS yöntemi uygulanarak ÖYS'lerinin performans değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Modelin kriterleri, literatür taraması ve konusunda uzman kişilerin görüşleri dikkate alınarak belirlenmiştir. Kriterlerin ağırlıkları ise, uzmanların 1-9 arası verdikleri puana göre belirlenmiştir. ÖYS'leri belirlenen kriterlere göre uzmanlar tarafından değerlendirilmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Uzaktan Eğitim, Online Eğitim, TOPSIS, Öğrenim Yönetim Sistemi (ÖYS), Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ABSTRACTIn a parallel with the development of communication and information technologies, distance education is met increasingly in business and educational institutions in recent years. Institutions who want to perform distance education should determine the most suitable learning management system (LMS) which suits their own strategic objectives and business culture. Several software companies and universities offer very different LMS models. The institutions have to choose the most appropriate OYS model among these models. Choosing the suitable LMS of institutions is seen as a problem of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) in an environment where there are models with different characteristics. In this study, LMS'performance is evaluated by applying TOPSIS method which is one of the MCDM techniques. Model criteria are identified by taking into account literature review and the opinions of experts. In addition, weights of the criteria are identified according to the scores between 1-9 given by the experts. LMS are evaluated by the experts according to the specified criteria.

Selection of Executives in Non-Governmental Organizations with an Integrated ApproachAbstract-The head executives in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are elected from among the board members. However, this election process is widely based on subjective criteria rather than objective criteria. If NGOs want to be successful, they should be led by competent administrators with good communication skills. The process by which the chief administrator is chosen involves many imprecise and conflicting criteria. Therefore, the determination of the chief administrator is seen as a multi-criteria decision-making problem.This study focuses on developing a hybrid model to determine the chief administrator of a non-governmental organization from among seven board members, combining three techniques: the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique For Order Performance By Similarity Tom Ideal Solution ( TOPSIS ) and VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). In this process, the seven board members of the NGO were evaluated by 41 regular members of the Organization according to 12 different criteria. In the proposed model, the criteria were determined according to the opinions of the NGO's officials and the related literature. The criteria weights were determined by AHP and the selection of the most appropriate member as the chief executive was carried out through TOPSIS and VIKOR methods separately. Finally, the results obtained with two separate methods were compared and evaluated.
