This paper proposes a decision-making framework that integrates DEMATEL, BW, and OWA methods for a forestry management problem. The framework was applied in a case study of the National Park Fruska Gora in Serbia. The results identified the winning alternative in a multi-criteria context and tested different risk attitudes.
This paper proposes a decision-making framework that integrates Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), Best-Worst (BW), and Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) methods in a forestry management problem. Namely, the application of the proposed framework has been shown in the case study area of the National Park Fruska Gora in Serbia. The decision-making problem included five criteria (biodiversity protection, wilderness protection, promotion of tourism, promotion of education function, and sustainable use of natural resources) and four alternatives-management plans (business as usual, eco-tourism, protection of natural ecosystems and use of natural resources). The results were focused on proclaiming a winning alternative in a multi-criteria context and have been tested for the different risk attitudes: risk-prone, risk-neutral, and risk-averse. For the risk-prone scenario, the winning alternative was protection of natural ecosystems, while the risk-neutral and risk-averse scenarios recognized eco-tourism as the winning alternative. The same procedure can be repeated for many other forest management tasks that require multiple criteria setting and risk attitude analysis.
