Design of Computer Support for Multicriteria and Multiperson Decisions in Regional Water Resources Planning

  • Chapter
Multiple Criteria Decision Methods and Applications

  • 90 Accesses

Decision making for design of regional water resources systems shows a high complexity, due to many interrelations between aspects, decision makers and planning procedures. Aspects are of a technical, a psychological, an ergonomical (human-computer interaction) and an organisational nature. Decision makers are policy makers, planners and designers.
