Application of Multipurpose Decision Making Problem with AHP and Rectilinear Norm in Old Town Renewal Proposals

Abstract:

In the process of urbanization, old town renewal is an unavoidable problem. The significance of old town renewal focuses on meliorating residents’ physical environment conditions, humane and social environment, and improving urban operation efficiency. Such problem affects not only the development of a certain district, but the benefits of future generations. For city managers, it is difficult to bring up a rational and highly efficient proposal such that related interest bodies would accept, and thus democracy science decision is required. This essay employs AHP to solve the problem of old town renewal proposal assessment, and brings forward the decision-making of multi-objective programming problem based on rectilinear norm allocation problem. Since there is no such paper that systematically and efficiently assess old town renewal proposal by using allocation problem, this paper tries to use this method to “fill out this blank”.
