  • Abstract:
    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a variant of superiority and inferiority ranking (SIR) method called SIR-Grey for determining the location of large-scale harbour-front project development. Design/methodology/approach – The study is illustrated with an application example obtained from the Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to demonstrate the concept and application procedure of SIR-Grey. The strengths and weaknesses of SIR-Grey are highlighted when compared with the traditional weighted average approach. Findings – The strengths and weaknesses of SIR-Grey are highlighted when compared with the traditional weighted average approach. Among the strengths, the global comparison scores of SIR-Grey can give a clearer and easier comprehensible algorithm. Further, the global comparison generated from superiority flows (S-flows) [S-flow: A is preferred to A'(AP>A') or A is indifferent to A'(AI>A')] and inferiority flows (I-flows) [I-flow: A is preferred to A'(AP
