Pseudo-Criterion Approaches to Evaluating Alternatives in Mangrove Forests Management

摘要

The concept of the pseudo-criterion plays an important role in complex decision problems involving imprecise, uncertain and indeterminate data such as mangrove forests management. The outranking relation methods such as ELEC-TRE are well known to deal with the pseudo-criterion. Ternary comparison method (TCM) in which a ternary AHP derives a priority vector from a single criterion concordance matrix is proposed to deal with a pseudo-criterion. Comparing the ranking of management alternatives for the mangrove forests by TCM with that by ELECTRE, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of TCM.
