Three-person multi-objective conflict decision in reservoir flood control

Reservoir flood control decisions are often compromised by various parties with conflicting benefits, In this paper, a three-person multi-objective conflict decision model is presented for reservoir flood control. In order to obtain the group decision, the ideal bargaining solution is first sought by two stages satisfying programming and then the decision alternative is chosen using the fuzzy pattern recognition. The advantages of this model are simple and more adaptable to the real problem. The model is demonstrated by application to Fengman Reservoir in China. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
