THE GOALS AND LIMITATIONS OF MULTICRITERIA MODELS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION


Snežana Radukić, Žarko Popović, Jelena Stanković

Abstract: After considering the principal issue of the harmonization of the environmental and economic objectives and constraints, these conditions should be properly introduced in multicriteria mathematical models that are used to protect the environment. More recently, there is in the theory of decision making intensive work in developing optimization methods of mathematical models with multiple criteria. This method, we consider here briefly, in terms of appropriateness of its use in environmental issues. The main emphasis in this paper is on the constraints and their mutual interdependence of the multicriteria model of the environmental protection.

Keywords:  multicriteria optimization models; economic limitations of the model – minimizing costs; environmental limitations of the model – minimizing pollution; enviromental protection
