The Advantages of the OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging) Method in Decision Making and Reliability Testing of Spatial Multi-Criteria Site Selection (SMCSS) Model

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Geography
Most SMCSS research applies a previously well-known aggregation method, namely WLC (Weighted Linear Combination), which only provides one decision-making strategy. A number of studies also do not include reliability tests of their models. This paper aims to give comprehensive descriptions of the different decision results of the OWA method and ...
