Prioritizing Financing Methods for Dam and Power Plant Projects Using Hierarchical Analysis Process (AHP) Model (Case Study of Dam and Power Plant Projects in Iranian Water and Power Resources Development Company) Original Article, D61 Kasrai AR, KhorsandiSaniKavaki R, Soloukdar A. J. Civil Eng. Urban. 4(4): 402-408. 2014 ABSTRACT: Today there are many methods of financing in the world and every country selects its convenient financing methods according to its economic and political relations and technological and technical conditions and management skills. Due to the many constraints, developing countries must act with greater sensitivity, so that projects can be completed in the desired time and with optimal and economical cost. This paper aims to briefly review the theories, methods and concepts of financing to take a step toward understanding the financial situation and choosing the best and most useful techniques. For this reason, Hierarchical Analysis Process (AHP) Model was used which is one the most comprehensive systems designed for multiple criteria decision-making. After forming a tree structure of the factors affecting the financing of projects, using Expert choice Software, the weights of criteria were specified. And after ranking the alternatives, appropriate methods for financing the dam and power plant construction projects were prioritized. The research findings showed that among the seventeen major methods proposed for financing dams and power plant projects in Iranian Water and Power Resources Development Co., according to experts, the "financing" factor has the first priority by earning the most points. Also factors like "compensatory transactions", "foreign investment", "sales of assets", "usance", and "BOT contracts" are the next factors in the ranking of project financing methods, respectively.

Safety risk assessment using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) during planning and budgeting of construction projects Saman Aminbakhsh, Murat Gunduz ⁎, Rifat Sonmez Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East Technical University, 06800 Ankara, Turkey a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Received 5 October 2012 Received in revised form 1 May 2013 Accepted 22 May 2013 Available online 6 June 2013 Keywords: Occupational health and safety Analytic hierarchy process Risk assessment Finance Prioritization Introduction: The inherent and unique risks on construction projects quite often present key challenges to contractors. Health and safety risks are among the most significant risks in construction projects since the construction industry is characterized by a relatively high injury and death rate compared to other industries. In construction project management, safety risk assessment is an important step toward identifying potential hazards and evaluating the risks associated with the hazards. Adequate prioritization of safety risks during risk assessment is crucial for planning, budgeting, and management of safety related risks. Method: In this paper, a safety risk assessment framework is presented based on the theory of cost of safety (COS) model and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The main contribution of the proposed framework is that it presents a robust method for prioritization of safety risks in construction projects to create a rational budget and to set realistic goals without compromising safety. The impact to the industry: The framework provides a decision tool for the decision makers to determine the adequate accident/injury prevention investments while considering the funding limits. The proposed safety risk framework is illustrated using a real-life construction project and the advantages and limitations of the framework are discussed. 1-s2.0-S0022437513000479-main.pdf
