This paper dealt with developing conceptual model for making public policy on consumer product safety. The matters of consumer safety, public health and environmental protection are essential parts of making policy for consumer products. Moreover, policy authority should consider all measures based on consumer safety. In the process making regulations, policy authority has to have some methods to prevent errors on treating eligible persons as persons disqualified under uncertainty decision making of public policy. To recognize and ensure fairness on public policy, policy authority needs to establish basic policy making and fundamental concepts. Therefore, we developed conceptual model for consumer products safety, CPSPcon in this paper. The conceptual model is one part of SSM(Soft System Methodology) and can support specific policy target. The CPSPcon model can assist in evaluation of responses to an adapting or considering model.

This paper is a summary of how we constructed a national R&D investment model. Although a national R&D investment is an important decision making for the government as well as industries, currently there were little efforts on making a model reflecting governmental decision making on the individual size of national R&D. We constructed a simple national R&D model through discussion with 3 researchers who have rich experience of governmental investment of national R&D. In this paper, we tried to show how our simple R&D model can reflect the perception on the R&D efficiency that changes as the industry reach to its saturation level.

Citizen's involvement in forest decision-making is recently acknowledged as a potential solution to forest management conflicts. Through participation, affected citizens become a part of the decision-making process. This paper focuses on the use of collaborative and participatory model(CPM) for urban forest management. The model, which is exemplified by the Daejisan case in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea, utilizes the collaborative decision-making structure and the gradual level of resident participation in urban forest management. As a result, the committee in the model contributed to building partnerships among different interest groups and then to constructing environmentally compatible urban park. Furthermore, an improvement in the levels of resident participation was manifested in the process. These characteristics of CPM can encourage participation and cooperation among stakeholders and ultimately contribute to realizing sustainable urban forest management.

In this paper, we propose a NPC decision making model based on Prospect Theory which tries to model real-life choice, rather than optimal decision. For this purpose, we analyse the problems of reference point setting, diminishing sensitivity and loss aversion which are known as limitations of the utility theory and then apply these characteristics into the decision making in game. Dynamic Terrain Analysis is utilized to evaluate the proposed model and experimental result shows the method have effects on inducing diverse personality and emergent behavior on NPC.

Covid-19 pandemic required all the world to use internet more actively. As a result, individuals and businesses are more open to digital threats. In order to provide security within the network, firewalls should be used. Firewalls act as a gateway between the corporate and the external networks. Therefore, it is more important than ever to choose the right firewall for each network. In this study, a new linear decision making model is proposed in order to find out the most suitable firewall and the estimates are completed according to this new model. Also, this model is compared with multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis (MOORA) method. This study distinguishes from other studies by proposing a new solution which ranks the firewall alternatives using linear and MOORA approaches. These approaches are used in many fields before but not in information technologies. Thus, this study can be considered quite innovative in terms of the problem it handles and the approaches used. It offers up-to-date and practical suggestions related to a decision making problem that has not been previously studied in the literature.

Providing information on corporate level decision making for multiple decision makers in a consistent way is essential in Decision Support Systems. However, since the decision makers have different background and knowledge, the models used by them are also different in representation models. This makes the decision makers require a lot of efforts for model integration in an integrated decision making. The purpose of this paper is to propose an integration mechanism for synthetic use of multi-abstraction level decision making models. The proposed integration mechanism consists of model interpretation phase, model transformation phase and model integration phase. Specifically, the model transformation phase is divided into model tightening mode which gather information to makes a model transformed into upper level model, and model relaxing mode which makes lower level model.

Purpose: This study was designed to develop and evaluate the a web-based simulation program on patient rights education using integrated decision making model into values clarification for nurse students. Methods: The program was designed based on the Aless & Trollip model and Ford, Trygstad-Durland & Nelms's decision model. Focus groups interviews, surveys on learning needs for patient rights, and specialist interviews were used to develop for simulation scenarios and decision making modules. The simulation program was evaluated between May, 2011 and April, 2012 by 30 student nurses using an application of the web-based program evaluation tools by Chung. Results: Simulation content was composed of two scenarios on patient rights: the rights of patients with HIV and the rights of psychiatric patients. It was composed of two decision making modules which were established for value clarifications, behavioral objective formations, problems identifications, option generations, alternatives analysis, and decision evaluations. The simulation program was composed of screens for teacher and learner. The program was positively evaluated with a mean score of $3.14{\pm}0.33$. Conclusion: These study results make an important contribution to the application of educational simulation programs for nurse students' behavior and their decision making ability in protecting the patient rights.

Purpose: Despite significant research on decision-making, researchers struggle to comprehend the decision-making process. This paper aims to not only examine the relationship between problem-solving skills, cognitive competency, and decision-making but also develop measurement instruments for cognitive competency and problem-solving skills to better model decision-making. Research Design, Methodology and Approach: A cross-sectional study was conducted by surveying 292 university students in HCM City, Vietnam, via email sent randomly by Google Forms. This study identifies the conceptual framework and tests the hypotheses using a deductive approach. The SPSS program was used to evaluate the scales' reliability, and the SmartPLS program was used to assess the measurement and structural models. Results: The results show that the research model better modelled the relationship between problem-solving skills, cognitive competency, and decision-making. Although thinking ability has no direct impact on decision-making, both creativity and problem-solving skills have a positive impact on decision-making. The mediating role of problem-solving skills is also determined by the positive relationship between cognitive competency and decision-making. Conclusions: This study highlights decision-making efficiency through the cognitive process from low to high levels and provides for policymakers and managers to explain the decision-making process in a variety of sectors, such as distribution chains, marketing, and human resource distribution.

Scientific involvement in complex decision-making systems, characterized by multicriteria phenomena and fuzziness inherent in the structure of information, requires suitable methods. Especially, when powerful dependent criteria are introduced, the systems are become more complex. This paper presents a fuzzy dependence relation model for this kind of multicriteria decision-making. The model we propose is based on fuzzy relation in fuzzy system theory. For the application of the model a numerical example is quoted.

This paper proposes a fuzzy AHP based decision-making model to select a telecommunication company and the target of the proposed model is university students in the capital area. When customers select a telecommunication company, they have difficulty in decision-making because there are many competitive and complementary factors of telecommunication companies. To select a best telecommunication company, customers need to consider a number of different quantitative and qualitative factors such as fare, various services, additional function, etc. In this study, we suggest a fuzzy AHP based decision-making model to select a telecommunication company considering various quantitative and qualitative factors. Especially, fuzzy theory is applied to deal with the unclear or ambiguous problems, and a linear normalization model is developed to convert the value of quantitative factors to fuzzy number. A empirical example which is the target of the university students in the capital area shows the feasibility of the proposed model and it can help customers to make better decision-making for their benefits.
