Abstract

It is important to assess sustainability of research activities carried out in a university. The result can be used as information for university administrators to develop a policy for preventing pollution and hazards generated from research activities. The objective of the paper is to present an application of a Sustainability Index model. The proposed model is used to assess the sustainable university regarding research activities. The important weight of sustainability is analyzed by using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). FAHP emphasizes fuzzy theory and pairwise matrix comparison theory. This model is applied to a case of study of research projects in Thailand. At first, research activities are broken down and sources of sustainability are identified. The data were collected regarding research project lifecycle. Then, major sustainable initiatives are identified. The important weight of sustainability for each research activities is analyzed. The Sustainability Index is created from important weight of sustainability magnitude. Fuzzy numbers are used to cope with uncertainties associated with the data collected by questionnaires distributed to researchers.

基于可持续性指数的模糊层次分析法研究活动评价模型

评估大学开展的研究活动的可持续性是很重要的。研究结果可以作为大学管理人员制定政策的信息，以防止研究活动产生的污染和危害。本文的目的是提出一个可持续发展指数模型的应用。该模型用于评价可持续发展大学的研究活动。采用模糊层次分析法(FAHP)对可持续性的重要权重进行了分析。FAHP强调模糊理论和成对矩阵比较理论。将该模型应用于泰国研究项目的一个案例研究。首先，对研究活动进行分类，确定可持续性的来源。数据是根据研究项目的生命周期收集的。然后，确定主要的可持续举措。分析了各研究活动可持续性的重要权重。可持续发展指数是由可持续发展幅度的重要权重创建的。模糊数用于处理与分发给研究人员的问卷收集的数据相关的不确定性。
