A Note on the Selected Multicriteria Decision Methods and Their Applications

In this study, we are concerned with the comparative aspects of five selected methods of decision making with respect to their adequacy in helping complex decisions about real-world problems. We examine the methods in terms of outlines, procedures and advantages/disadvantages to identify similarities and differences among them with the aim of showing which method is more likely to gain greater attention both in academia and in practice. To illustrate different courses of deployment of the methods, we offer an application with a case of airport transportation project in this paper. Some discussions on AHP and other methods are presented.
