TI  - Application of multi-criteria decision-making on strategic municipal solid waste 
      management in Dalmatia, Croatia.
PG  - 2192-201
AB  - The efficiency of providing a waste management system in the coastal part of 
      Croatia consisting of four Dalmatian counties has been modelled. Two 
      multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, PROMETHEE and GAIA, were applied 
      to assist with the systematic analysis and evaluation of the alternatives. The 
      analysis covered two levels; first, the potential number of waste management 
      centres resulting from possible inter-county cooperation; and second, the 
      relative merits of siting of waste management centres in the coastal or 
      hinterland zone was evaluated. The problem was analysed according to several 
      criteria; and ecological, economic, social and functional criteria sets were 
      identified as relevant to the decision-making process. The PROMETHEE and GAIA 
      methods were shown to be efficient tools for analysing the problem considered. 
      Such an approach provided new insights to waste management planning at the 
      strategic level, and gave a reason for rethinking some of the existing strategic 
      waste management documents in Croatia.
