APPLYING THE AHP METHOD IN THE PROCESS OF DECISION MAKING WHEN SELECTING THE LOCATION OF A GEOTHERMAL WELL

Decision making is a process of evaluating the alternatives that satisfy a certain group of set goals, i.e. criteria. As the situation described in this paper involves multiple criteria, this is then a multiple criteria decision making. One of the most important or probably the most important multiple criteria method is the AHP method, i.e. Analytical Hierarchy Process. This method makes it possible to integrate and interpret both the quality and quantity criteria of comparison. A complex problem comprising multiple criteria and alternatives was presented in this paper, and influence and relations among them were determined. A decision was made as a result of recognizing the influence among the factors.
