Abstract
In this paper, a municipal decision support methodology is proposed to evaluate the location of refuse incineration plant to dispose the municipal waste using the model of descriptive extension of Analytic Hierarchy Process, called D-AHP. In this model, the rank reversal phenomena are legitimately observed and explanatory. The alternative sites of the refuse incineration plant are located in a hypothetical city, and the alternatives are evaluated. The results of the evaluation show that D-AHP is useful for the case when the number of alternatives such as the number of sites of the refuse incineration plant may change.
