This research aims to: (1) Knowing the obstacles faced in implementing the Mutanaqisah Musharaka Financing (2) The solutions taken to overcome these obstacles; and (3) the right strategy to apply musyarakah mutanaqisah financing. This study uses the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method and the assistance of Super Decision software. ANP is carried out in three stages, namely: first, in-depth interviews with Islamic banking experts and practitioners to identify the factors that influence the minimum amount of musyarakah mutanaqisah. Second, the results of the first step are used to create an ANP framework and a questionnaire addressed to Islamic banking experts and practitioners; and third, ANP analysis to determine the best priorities, solutions and strategies for implementing Musyarakah mutanaqisah financing in Islamic banking.The results showed that: (1) The constraints faced by Islamic banking in implementing Musyarakah Mutanaqisah financing for Islamic banking KPRS financing can be divided into two, namely internal and external problems. Internal problems stem from internal banking, banking human resources, and musyarakah mutanaqisah financing products. External problems originate from customers, authorities, and Islamic banks. The most priority problem faced is internal problems, namely human resources (HR) associated with low knowledge and skills about the MMQ contract. Meanwhile, the most dominant external problem is Islamic banking with a lack of insight into the MMQ contract. (2) The solutions given in determining the financing strategy for the musyarakah mutanaqisah are divided into two, namely internal and external solutions. The most priority solution comes from internal solutions, namely product solutions in the form of Islamic banking that must vary the contract, especially for the MMQ contract; and (3) The alternative with the most priority in determining the financing implementation strategy with the musyarakah mutanaqisah contract in Islamic banking is the Socialization and Education Program, followed by Contract Optimization, Portfolio Development, Image Strengthening, MMQ Segmentation Mapping, and MMQ financing market segmentation.

Decision support tools for wind and solar farm site selection in Isfahan Province, Iran

Optimizing the location of wind and photovoltaic solar power plants is a significant environmental management problem. The effectiveness of the site selection process for renewable energy systems (RES) could be strengthened by flexible spatial and environmental planning strategies using decision support systems (DSS) to critically identify the most productive, environmentally friendly and acceptable sites for the production of sustainable and reliable wind and solar energy. This study discusses hybrid DSS, using multi-criteria evaluation based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a geographical information system (GIS), fuzzy logic, and a weighted linear combination (WLC) approach to determine optimal locations for renewable energy generation infrastructure. In the first stage, the most decisive factors for evaluating the site suitability were identified, based on experts’ opinions. Next, raster layers of ecological and socioeconomic sub-criteria were prepared GIS software. After incorporating the raster maps of each parameter, fuzzy membership functions were applied to normalize each raster layer between 0 and 1. The relative weights of different indicators were calculated using super decision software. Prioritizing vital elements were performed using AHP. In the final stage, the WLC approach was utilized to amalgamate layers in the GIS environment, which afforded the final site suitability maps. In Isfahan Province, Iran, 26% of the land area was found to be highly suitable for solar farms with 18% being highly suitable for wind farms. The results illustrate that using and comparing the results from combinations of computer-based DSS are more likely to result in better decisions than using individual DSS tools for the determination of the most suitable sites for RES location.

Study and evaluation of irrigation and drainage networks using analytic hierarchy process in Khuzestan Province: A virtual water approach

Considering the importance of virtual water in water management, the amount of virtual water was determined in the Shahid Rajae, Ramshir, and Hendijan irrigation and drainage networks. First, the water requirements of the crops were calculated using meteorological data of 10 years by CROPWAT software. Then, the virtual water of the networks was determined using crop yield. Also, the networks, according to the virtual water, were evaluated by questionnaire and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the virtual water of wheat in the Shahid Rajae, Ramshir and Hendijan irrigation and drainage networks were 7183.33, 7148.88 and 7501.11 (m3/year), respectively. The amount of virtual water of barley in the mentioned networks was obtained at 8033.33, 8252.78 and 8705.56 (m3/year), respectively and for sesame in Shahid Rajae irrigation and drainage network was 9836.28 (m3/year) and in Ramshir the number was 10,252.31 (m3/year). Comparison between the amounts of calculating data and the delivered water indicated that in Shahid Rajae, Ramshir and Hendijan irrigation and drainage networks, a more water usage percentage, against the actual need, of 31, 23 and 28 was used. The results of AHP and the ranking of mentioned networks, using Super Decisions software with the virtual water approach, showed that field factors in Shahid Rajae and Hendijan networks and climate factors had the most significant weight in Ramshir network. The economic factors were the least influential among them. Comparing the results of AHP and the computation of virtual water revealed that the Hendijan network ranked first place. Qualitative assessment of the operation of network utilization based on virtual water and water productivity warned that the mentioned networks were in undesirable conditions.

Efficient institution in the context of environmental policies

Abstract In the context of new environmental paradigms for the efficient customization of both traditional and renewable energy systems, the international regulations aim to be effective sources of alignment. The control practices in a big state-owned enterprise are the concepts implemented in this paper into a multi-criteria decision-making model for understanding, observing and accommodate the personnel for reaching high service quality. The best practices for effective policy design are alternatives in an Analytic Network Processes model designed and estimated by the staff in the audit department of the Romanian Regulatory Authority for Energy (RRAE). This model integrates all the national and international regulations at which the Romanian Regulatory Authority for Energy adhered and it determines what is the practical measures need to be taken at the level of each and every employee, in terms of individual forms of evaluation, so that principles regarding the implementation of the energy efficient systems produce tangible effects. The conceptual instrument considered for the effective alignment is the internal marketing. Internal marketing as a method built the foundation of a multi-criteria decision-making model whose alternatives are employees” evaluations forms. The model designed and estimated by staff in the audit department of the Romanian Regulatory Authority for Energy is developed using the analytic network processes theory (ANP) and the SuperDecisions software.

Multi-criteria selection of high-performance glazing systems: A case study of an office building in New Cairo, Egypt

The energy consumption of fully glazed office buildings is very high due to the heavy cooling loads in summer. Therefore, building designers resort to the High-Performance Glazing System (HPGS) solutions to reduce solar heat gain and save energy. However, the selection of most sustainable HPGS is considered a complicated process because the one criterion decision method - which building designers still tend to use - cannot solve this complexity. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) analysis can solve this problem and rank the alternatives. In this paper, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) - one of the MCDM methods - is applied by SuperDecisions software to rank three proposed HPGS alternatives for an existing office building in New Cairo, Egypt as a case study in a hot desert climate zone. Four criteria of sustainability (energy, environmental impacts, cost, and occupant comfort) are assessed and a new weighting method is applied based on LEED rating system to prioritize the alternatives. The ranking results show in the first place the Photovoltaic glazing system followed by the Low-E and Electrochromic glazing systems, respectively with a negligible difference. The Life cycle cost criterion is the major influencer on the ranking results according to the applied sensitivity analysis.

ANP-based fuzzy comprehensive evaluation system for electric power environment

In order to evaluate the environmental situation of electric power business in Lishui City, a relatively objective evaluation index system was established by using literature review method and Delphi method. The network analytic network process (ANP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are combined to comprehensively evaluate the electric power business environment in Lishui. Firstly, the weight of each evaluation index is determined by ANP method, which overcomes the defect that the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) can not reflect the mutual influence relationship between indicators. Then, the ANP-based fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is constructed to evaluate the uncertain electric power business environment and calculate with the help of Super Decisions software. The results show that the electricity business environment in Lishui is better. Finally, some measures to improve the electricity business environment were proposed based on the corresponding indicators.

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a major concern as open lagoon technology is not environment-friendly. Therefore, the palm oil industry refers to a roundtable on sustainable palm oil (RSPO), Indonesian sustainable palm oil (ISPO), and Malaysian sustainable palm oil (MSPO) standards for POME treatment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An alternative POME treatment technology is the combination of open lagoon technology (COLT) with composting, biogas technology plus composting, biogas technology plus membrane, and biogas technology plus land application. The objective of this study is to analyze the life cycle assessment (LCA) result using a multi-criteria decision approach and to determine the implementation of POME treatment in the RSPO, ISPO, and MSPO standards. The LCA system boundary was considered from gate-to-gate and unit per ton of fresh fruit bunch as a functional unit. SimaPro® was used as the LCA analysis tool; Expert Choice® and Super Decision Software® were used to perform the analytic hierarchy process and analytic network process, respectively. In this study, COLT–Biogas plus composting technology had the maximum priority weight (0.470), according to the opinion of experts. The results could help palm oil mill decision-makers in choosing environment-friendly POME treatment technology.

Decision-making for the selection of different leachate treatment/management methods: the ANP and PROMETHEE approaches.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill leachate is a highly contaminated liquid effluent. Leachate has a complex nature that needs to be appropriately treated before being discharged into the environment. There are various options for leachate treatment. Deciding which option should be applied is a complex process, since it depends on many factors that need to provide a balance between the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainability. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are useful techniques to solve complex problems that cannot be easily solved. In this study, MCDM techniques are used for an evaluation of four different leachate treatment options: recirculation of leachate to a landfill site (A1), combined treatment with municipal wastewater (A2), anaerobic and aerobic sequential treatment (A3), and advanced leachate treatment based on membrane processes (A4). The selection of the most appropriate one, based on the criteria, analytic network process (ANP), and preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE) methods, was applied as MCDM techniques using the Super Decisions software and D-Sight software, respectively. Both the ANP and the PROMETHEE analysis results demonstrate that option A2 is the most appropriate for all of the decision-makers.

Development of sustainable and cost efficient textile foam-finishing and its comparison with conventional padding

Conventional padding is a non-sustainable textile processing technique, which consumes excessive water, chemicals and energy. To support the survival of the textile processing industry, researchers have identified the foam technology for application of dyes and finishes. Foam technology is more ecofriendly than the conventional padding. However, the successful foam generation for different finishes is a challenging task. In addition, it is more difficult and complicated task to effectively apply the foam on the fabrics and get the results which should be comparable with the conventional padding. This paper compares the pad-finishing with foam-finishing on the basis of sustainability, cost, productivity, and performance using 11 different non-toxic and sustainable finishes including cross-linkers, oil and water repellents, softeners, and fire retardant on the cotton fabric samples. Cost, productivity, performance and sustainability were estimated through the specific methods. The paper organizes the problem as analytic hierarchy process model and solves the model using super decisions software. The results reveal that the foam-finishing technique is more preferable in terms of cost, productivity and sustainability, if optimized properly. In addition, the successful foam-finishing recipes have been generated and the performance of foam-finishing has been comparable with pad-finishing. For instance, if all the criteria were given the same priority, the foam-finishing recipe with less quantity of chemical was 84.61% better than the pad-finishing. The optimized foam-finishing recipe was 84.55% better than the pad-finishing. In addition, the optimized foam-finishing recipe indicated better finishing performance in term of some important tests as compared to padding.
