Designed for individuals involved in analysis and decision-making for various projects, this practical guide offers strategies to effectively organize, classify, and evaluate extensive information. It addresses both simple and complex scenarios, providing readers with the tools necessary to make informed decisions amidst overwhelming data.

This chapter explores the relationship between sustainability, economics, society, and the environment through the lens of waste generation. It is divided into two parts: the first examines current waste generation and treatment, while the second focuses on policies to reduce waste generation. Key questions about waste are raised, challenging its traditional definitions.

The book explores Multi Criteria Decision-Making, blending art and science to aid Decision-Makers in selecting and evaluating projects. It emphasizes the importance of personal expertise and judgment, as projects often possess unique characteristics that resist purely mathematical analysis. Introducing the SIMUS method, it provides a structured model to support and justify decisions, detailing the entire process from data organization to result generation. Notably, the method produces two coincident results through distinct procedures, enhancing decision reliability.

Focusing on multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), this book introduces the Sequential Iterative Modelling for Urban Systems (SIMUS) as a strategic decision-making tool. It underscores the importance of reflecting real-world scenarios in modeling and incorporates sensitivity analysis. By utilizing criteria marginal values instead of traditional weights, it enables the creation of curves that illustrate how variations in criteria values impact the objective function. This approach provides quantitative insights, aiding stakeholders in conducting thorough risk analyses influenced by external factors.

Focusing on Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), this guide emphasizes the importance of modeling complex real-world problems. It offers practical tips and examples for creating decision matrices that accurately reflect reality. Readers can choose from over a hundred MCDM methods tailored to their specific scenarios. Featuring real-world cases resolved through the SIMUS method, the book serves as an essential resource for practitioners, researchers, and students engaged in MCDM challenges.

Focusing on practical application, this book serves as a companion to project-management theory, providing a comprehensive guide to implementing concepts in real-world scenarios. It features over 25 case studies that explore key areas such as project selection, planning, risk management, and financial evaluation. Each case is approached step-by-step, with some solved manually to demonstrate fundamental procedures, while others utilize advanced software tools. This dual approach equips readers with the skills to identify, analyze, and resolve project issues effectively.

This book analyzes various techniques for conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) of projects, highlighting their effects on communities and the environment. It explores how projects influence lifestyles, social structures, resource sustainability, and the balance between technical aspects and public needs.
