Abstract: | The paper shows how multi-criteria natural resource management problems can be analyzed in a case involving dependent decision criteria. The proposed models are based on pair-wise comparisons of items. The basic idea of dependent models is to ask the decision maker (e.g. forest owner) to assess the decision alternatives or their characteristics simultaneously with respect to dependent decision criteria. The separate models for discrete and continuous cases are given. |
