Wetlands in Australia provide considerable ecological, economic, environmental and social benefits. However, the use of wetlands has been indiscriminate and significant damage to many Australian wetlands has occurred. During the last 150 years one third of the wetlands in Victoria have been lost. A conspicuous problem in wetland management is the paucity of involvement by stakeholders. This paper uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to incorporate stakeholder objectives in the 'Wonga Wetlands' on the Murray River. The study shows that the AHP can explicitly incorporate stakeholder preferences and multiple objectives to evaluate management options. The AHP also provides several approaches for policy makers to arrive at policy decisions.
澳大利亚的湿地带来了可观的生态、经济、环境和社会效益。然而，湿地的利用一直缺乏规划，许多澳大利亚湿地遭到了严重破坏。在过去的150年里，维多利亚州三分之一的湿地已经消失。湿地管理中一个明显的问题是利益相关者的参与度不足。本文运用层次分析法（AHP）将利益相关者的目标纳入墨累河上的“旺加湿地”管理中。研究表明，层次分析法能够明确纳入利益相关者的偏好和多个目标，以评估管理方案。层次分析法还为政策制定者提供了几种做出政策决策的方法。
