Abstract

Decision problems are often characterized by a great number of alternative actions and by the complexity of relationships between factors involved in the process. This leads to the determination of alternative choices in uncertainty conditions. In this paper the problem of an energetic and environmental requalification is analyzed. This kind of problem emphasizes the need for integration of economics and environment so a multicriteria approach is required; in particular the analytic hierarchy process is applied and a detailed sensitivity analysis is performed by using a software package, Expert Choice.
