Words from the Editor-in-Chief 

Dear IJAHP Readers: 

This is the second and last IJAHP issue for this year and with this we are proud to 
announce we are completing our second year of existence. We open this issue with an 
application by Islam and Ismail showing the use of AHP for the prioritization of long-
term objectives in Malaysia to fulfill their vision for 2020, the year in which Malaysia 
expects to join the group of developed countries. This article is followed by a case study 
by Khumpaisal et al of how ANP can be used in the management of mega-projects such 
as Terminal 5 in the London Heathrow International Airport. This article is useful 
because it provides a framework of analysis that includes social, economic, ecological, 
technical, and political factors for the management of mega-projects. This article is 
followed by the Pecchia et al article about the use of an AHP web-based questionnaire 
to assess fall risks factors among elderly people. The last paper in our peer-reviewed 
section is written by Stan Lipovetsky and is an interpretation of the AHP eigenvector 
solution for the lay person. Our essay section also offers an article about the same topic 
written by the AHP creator, Thomas Saaty. Rozann Saaty, IJAHP managing editor has 
graciously written an introduction to the two articles. 

Enjoy this issue! 

Enrique Mu, PhD 
IJAHP Editor-in-Chief
