Economics are evolved mainly based on the concern of the scarcity resources. Theories and measures regarding the efficient allocation of resources are derived accordingly which many economically affluent societies are at least partly benefit from it. However, during the seventies, new kinds of scarcity appear to affect the well-being of developed world. Ironically, these new scarcities result from the very economic and technological progress that underlies their affluence. First, there is the decline in the quality of the natural and built environment which brought about by the increasing production and consumption activities. Second is the increasing rate of depletion of energy and non-energy materials that has raised fears about the adequacy of materials to support future production and consumption. Further, there has been concern about the distributional consequences of these environmental and energy and non-energy materials scarcities. A key analytical problem relevant to these issues is the question of how to alleviate these scarcities while maintaining economic progress and quality of life. Such harmonizing planning strategies for diversified social systems require methods for the resolution of conflicts arising form the interdependence between various parts of the systems. An interactive MODM model is constructed in this study to provide an analytical tools to help resolve the conflict among policy objectives as well as identify feasible compromise among different policy options. |
