TI  - Application of ANP and DEMATEL to evaluate the decision-making of municipal solid 
      waste management in Metro Manila.

AB  - A municipal solid waste management (MSW) expert group was consulted in order to 
      mirror how government officials might reach an effective solution regarding 
      municipal solid waste management in Metro Manila. A critical issue regarding this 
      is how the expert group can better evaluate and select a favorable MSW management 
      solution using a series of criteria. MSW management solution selection is a 
      multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem, which requires the 
      consideration of a large number of complex criteria. A robust MCDM method should 
      consider the interactions among these criteria. The analytic network process 
      (ANP) is a relatively new MCDM method which can deal with all kinds of 
      interactions systematically. The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory 
      (DEMATEL) not only can convert the relations between cause and effect of criteria 
      into a structural model, but also can be used as a way to handle the inner 
      dependences within a set of criteria. Hence, this paper applies an effective 
      solution based on a combined ANP and DEMATEL method to assist the expert group 
      evaluating different MSW management solutions. According to the results, the best 
      solution is for each city to have its own type of thermal process technology and 
      resource recovery facility before landfill rather than entering a joint venture 
      with enterprises or going into build-operate-transfer projects in order to be 
      able to construct thermal process technologies and resource recovery facilities.
