Abstract:
The municipal solid waste management (MSW) evaluation is usually evaluated in subjective and qualitative in nature described in linguistic information; it is very difficult for expert groups to express the preferences using exact numerical values. A MSW expert group is consulted in order to mirror how government officials might reach a cause-effect model regarding MSW management in Metro Manila. A critical issue regarding this is how the expert group can better evaluate the MSW management criteria in uncertainty. A cause and effect model development can help the processing of decision making problem. The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) not only can convert the relations between cause and effect of criteria into a model but also can be used as a way to handle the inner dependences within a set of criteria. The post survey is further discussed and proved the validity result.
