MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION SUPPORT MODEL TO OPTIMIZE THE SELECTION OF ACTIVITIES TO CONTROL THE AEDES AEGYPTI VECTOR: A CASE STUDY IN NATAL / RN.

 

The recurrent mobilization of the health sector to control Aedes Aegypti is a reflection of the great risks that viruses transmitted by this virus cause to human health. Although there is a strong promotion on the part of the Brazilian Ministry of Health for the use of research as strategic investments in the mitigation of complex environments that involve its control, it is still necessary to advance under the coordination of methods and techniques, in order to achieve greater number of robust responses and less time in the application of available activities. Thus, the present study aims to develop a multi-criteria model for decision support to optimize the selection of Aedes Aegypti control activities, through a case study in the city of Natal / RN. For that, its construction will be carried out in three stages, they are: preliminary, modelling and choice, and finalization, separated for the second time that can subsidize a decision support tool. As a result, a structured, efficient decision-making model with scientific validation is expected, which helps decision makers to reduce the effects and risks associated with the proliferation of this vector, based on robust and accurate information.
