Urban Planning multiple criteria decision analysis emergency planning analytic hierarchy process Emergency responders face the difficulty of having to make decisions in less than prime situations. These ad-hoc decision situations invite a decision structuring exercise in which the problem is formulated, criteria and sub-criteria identified and a weighting system derived before the decision is made in the field. This study deconstructs an ad-hoc decision-making process used by emergency responders for the disposal of animal carcasses following a scenario-based incident of agricultural terrorism. By exploring the potential use of MCDA - the Analytic Hierarchy Process in particular - to act as a scenario-based, strategic emergency planning tool, its potential role as a tool to facilitate knowledge transfer, and its potential to model an ad-hoc decision, this study attempts to add to the decision-making capacity of emergency responders and inform emergency planning processes. 2008-08-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212072805 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212072805 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
