Abstract: The general distance concept proposed by Yu and Cook et al.is used to solve the group decision mak-ing problems.Based on the principle of AHP,the aggregation problem for group decision making is defined,the existing approaches of pairwise comparison judgments aggregation are reviewed,and a new aggregation method called Minimum Distance Method(MDM)for group decision making is proposed,and numerical illustrations are given to demonstrate the applicability of MDM.Finally,some possible future research directions in group decision making and AHP related areas are put forward.

Key words: group decision making, analytic hierarchy process(AHP), aggregating method, pairwise comparison judgment, minimum distance
