BÜYÜKŞEHİRLERİN YAŞANABİLİRLİK DÜZEYLERİNİN DEMATEL TABANLI ANALİTİK AĞ SÜRECİ (DANP) VE MAIRCA YÖNTEMLERİ İLE BÜTÜNLEŞİK OLARAK DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Özet

Businesses or organizations are constantly faced with the obligation to make decisions during their activities. In the decision-making problems encountered, decision alternatives are evaluated according to the criteria set for purposes, and it is aimed to choose the alternative that gives the best results according to all criteria. In these decision-making problems, heuristic methods are used, and data-based scientific methods are widely preferred in order to achieve more objective and accurate results. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods are expressed as the evaluation of alternatives according to multiple decision criteria in decision making problems and the methods used to determine the appropriate alternative that best meets all criteria. In the literature, there are a large number of MCDM methods applied for this purpose. DANP (Dematel Based Analytic Network Process) and MAIRCA (Multi Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) are two of these MCDM methods. In this study, 30 metropolitan cities in Turkey were ranked according to the livability criteria by DANP and MAIRCA methods. The weights of the criteria determined by the DANP method were calculated, and metropolitan cities were ranked according to their livability level by the MAIRCA method.
