| Abstract | Currently, incorporating stakeholder preferences into decision making process of SWM is still limited. There is limited consideration of social and economic impacts, especially gender aspect when making decision. In Vietnam, the stakeholder involvement into the decision making process for SWM is simply to inform after decision made and only local residents are involved in this case. The role and preferences of other stakeholders are not taken into this process. Therefore, this research intends to develop a methodology for incorporating the preferences of different actors in the decision-making for SWM, with supporting of a case study in urban areas of Hung Yen province. Successful application of AHP in combining with LeA, Life Cycle Accounting, expert judgment; the stakeholders' preferences are analyzed with environmental, economic, social impacts, gender integration and final contribution of stakeholder groups in the final scheme. Additionally, consideration of stakeholders' opinions during the process of setting up decision hierarchy, their preferences towards decision criteria are essential steps of the analysis process. Lastly, the position of stakeholder groups as well as stakeholder priority scenarios are also summarized by survey among groups and their intervention with the final ranking of decision making is also considered. Some lessons learned, sensitivity of parameters and limitations in the application of AHP for decision making in the research are summarized for further consideration. Furthermore, the research also proposes some recommendations on utilization of study results as well as further study for researchers and decision makers to solve problems in urban environmental management and to deal with climate change. |
