Van de Giesen, N.C. Mostert, E. Sheikhmohammady, M. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Water Management Date 2012-12-31 Abstract Operation of over shared resources (water, gas, oil, and mineral reserves) has been one the most significant challenges of states. “Fair” and “efficient” national resources reallocation among stakeholders and states is a complex conflict problem that faces this fundamental question: which criteria and mechanisms should be taken into account for this reallocation? In this paper, we propose a risk-based Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methodology to select the most appropriate mechanism for reallocation of the reserves of the Caspian Sea with respect to several quantitative and qualitative criteria. Caspian Sea is a sea with five claimants that border it, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan. The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) method is used to evaluate the effects of risk attitude of the decision makers on the final outcome in resources reallocation. Results indicate that risk-based MADM methods are well suited tools to resolve conflicts in natural resources reallocation problems Subject natural resources reallocation, ordered weighted averaging, rsk, Caspian Sea, negotiation To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:9f2f514b-d1d0-4c45-875d-bc8d0d6c8fb4 DOI https://doi.org/10.5593/SGEM2012/S22.V4004 Publisher SGEM ISSN 1314-2704 Source Conference proceedings SGEM 2012 International Multidisciplinary Scientific Geo-Conference, Albena, Bulgaria, 17-23 June, 2012 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type conference paper Rights (c) 2012 The Authors Files PDF 288298.pdf 816.18 KB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:9f2f514b-d1d0-4c45-875d-bc8d0d6c8fb4/datastream/OBJ/view
