The management of municipal properties represents a major component of the public management and for the well-functioning and development of municipal property the creation of a strategic portfolio of municipal property is necessary. This paper discusses the employment of the multi-criteria...

This paper develops a fuzzy multi-criteria game model of the competition between two arms exporting countries. The model permits multiple goals for the participants and anticipates a sizable degree of decision-making imprecision. The imprecision in the process is portrayed by fuzzy sets, the...

There are two mainstreams when using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). One is the standard applications of crisp distributive and ideal mode versions. The other is characterised by fuzzification of the AHP methodology and by attempts to better tackle inherently uncertain and imprecise...

Floods, the most common natural hazard in the world, cause serious loss in terms of lives, buildings, and infrastructures. As a consequence, the need for flood risk assessment has become critical. Using a semi-quantitative model and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) weighting approach,...

Advanced computer models are commonly used to simulate reservoir system's performance. If the number of possible management scenarios is large, it can be extremely difficult to follow related system's operation and get a valuable picture on its spatial and temporal behavior. The decision maker...

Water catchments worldwide are experiencing increasing pressure on the quantity and quality of ground and surface water resources. Water managers are increasingly consulting community and stakeholder groups to ensure their decisions reflect the values and preferences of water users. Growing...

Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) for food safety policy interventions faces major obstacles, like scarce data availability and quality, especially when estimating their future effects on consumer health. In this paper, we run a preliminary RIA exercise on alternative EU policy initiatives to...

This paper develops a methodology aimed at assisting policymakers in selecting the optimal policy option to support the carbon price within the ETS. We consider different policy proposals that can support the carbon price either by intervening on the ETS cap (-30%, set-aside, carbon central...

The paper addresses the issue of how sustainable development at the local level can be measured (evaluated) and proposes a methodology for assessing local development strategies in light of the main tenets of sustainable development and smart growth. In the theoretical sections of the article...

In the last decades the organization and management of public sector institutions have become increasingly concerned with the issue of the efficient use of its resources. This paper explores the possibilities to use the multi-criteria analysis techniques for municipal real property management...
