This paper describes the use of soft systems approaches for analysing the changes envisaged in the course of proposing alternatives for river sand, used as a fine aggregate in the Sri Lankan construction industry. The use of hierarchical structuring of the change process for identifying general trends and emergent characteristics is described, as is the CATWOE method for listing features, issues and stakeholders associated with the various changes. The paper also gives a brief summary of the findings from the actual study on alternatives for river sand. It then describes a simple fuzzy set technique for ana lysing responses from stakeholders regarding the above changes, so that a composite qualitative response can be defined from a set of individual qualitative responses in the form of linguistic labels. |
