Sustainable Hospital Design in Resource-Constrains
Sustainable hospital design plays a pivotal role in reducing the ecological footprint of healthcare infrastructure while ensuring effective service delivery. In resource-constrained regions such as Jordan, the need for a balanced approach that integrates environmental, economic, and sociocultural dimensions has become increasingly vital. This study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate multiple sustainability criteria, thereby offering a systematic framework for decision-making in hospital planning and development. Role of AHP in Sustainable Healthcare Planning The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi-criteria decision-making tool that allows experts and policymakers to prioritize sustainability factors based on structured comparisons. In this study, AHP enabled the evaluation of seven primary sustainability criteria, capturing both quantitative and qualitative aspects. By ensuring logical consistency, AHP proved effective in aligning expert judgment ...
