Often, such choices are  difficult owing to the complexity of the decision context. Because the  analytic hierarchy process (AHP, developed by Thomas Saaty in the  1970s) has been successfully applied to many complex planning,  resource allocation, and priority setting problems in business,  energy, health, marketing, natural resources, and transportation, more  applications of the AHP in natural resources and environmental  sciences are appearing regularly. This realization has prompted the  authors to collect some of the important works in this area and  present them as a single volume for managers and scholars. Because  land management contains a somewhat unique set of features not found  in other AHP application areas, such as site-specific decisions, group  participation and collaboration, and incomplete scientific knowledge,  this text fills a void in the literature on management science and  decision analysis for forest resources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792370765\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9799-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 307.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541659742348,"sku":"9780792370765","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792370765.jpg?v=1759289711","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792370765","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
