- Abstract
- With the human being’s advances in technology and business economic growth, the consumption of material grows rapidly, and cause many environmental problems. If we can understand the importance of resource recycling, then, it can leave a clean space for future generations. Hence, the main purpose of the paper provides the Interpretive Structure Modeling (ISM) to analyze the hierarchy of influence factor in resource recycling. Based on the characteristic of ISM, it is one of the elementary mathematics models in kansei engineering, and the main function of ISM is to deal with complex issues. Firstly, the mathematics concept of ISM is presented. Secondly, a real example of environment field, which is the hierarchy analysis of major influence factor in resource recycling, is used as an example. Also in the paper, we develop a Matlab toolbox to verify the results. Through the actual analysis, the results not only can do hierarchical analysis to complex systems, but also clusters the system structure, which provides a method to solve our problem.
