The Analytic Hierarchy Process in Natural Resource and Environmental Decision Making

The book "The Analytic Hierarchy Process in Natural Resource and Environmental Decision Making" offers a comprehensive analysis of the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the field of natural resources and environmental decision-making. Developed by Thomas Saaty in the 1970s, AHP has established itself as an effective tool for solving complex decision-making problems across various sectors, including economics, energy, and healthcare. The authors have compiled significant works on this topic to provide professionals and researchers with a valuable resource. The book addresses specific challenges in land management, such as site-specific decisions and the need for collaboration, thereby filling an important gap in the literature on management science and decision analysis for forest resources.
