Abstract:
Selecting an appropriate sanitation option involves multiple stakeholders with often conflicting objectives. A multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework was developed to inform decision makers on selecting appropriate sanitation options for rural communities. Criteria established from literature were evaluated and weighted on-line by stakeholders. A performance matrix was developed by assigning weights to criteria and scoring alternatives. Selection of alternatives was based on a composite appropriateness index from a rank using the simple multi-attribute ranking technique. The framework was evaluated by verification, validation and sensitivity analysis. Five alternatives were evaluated on 14 decision criteria. The first preferred alternative was the urine diverting dry toilet (72.54) then the Blair ventilated improved pit latrine (67.10). The framework was commented as reasonable and robust. A simple and transparent MCDA framework was developed considering local conditions in a participatory manner to select appropriate alternatives for rural sanitation where a single option is encouraged.
摘要:
选择适当的卫生选择涉及多个利益攸关方,其目标往往相互冲突。制定了多标准决策分析(MCDA)框架,以告知决策者为农村社区选择适当的卫生方案。从文献中建立的标准由利益相关者在线评估和加权。通过为标准和评分备选方案分配权重来开发性能矩阵。使用简单的多属性排名技术,根据排名中的综合适当性指数选择替代方案。该框架通过验证进行了评估,验证和敏感性分析。根据14项决策标准对5种备选方案进行了评估。第一个优选的替代方案是尿液分流干燥厕所(72.54),然后是布莱尔通风改进的坑式厕所(67.10)。该框架被认为是合理和可靠的。以参与的方式,考虑到当地条件,制定了一个简单透明的MCDA框架,以选择适当的农村卫生替代方案,鼓励采用单一方案。
