“…The authorities working in museums and other institutions responsible for cultural heritage possess specific knowledge, which should be better considered in urban planning. This need was already recognised in the introduction and literature review of this article [3,30]. Updated national strategies can also help in awareness raising among different professional groups.…”

“…According to UNESCO [29], the existing action plans do not contain heritage as a definite priority, but concentrate on adaptation of climate change and mechanisms to respond to disasters, relevant examples of proper integration are rare. The lack of city vulnerability assessment methodologies which could integrate the impact of flooding and extreme precipitation with cultural heritage is also referred to [30].…”

Future climate conditions need to be considered in planning for urban areas. As well as considering how new structures would best endure in the future, it is important to take into account factors that contribute to the degradation of cultural heritage buildings in the urban setting. Climate change can cause an increase in structural degradation. In this paper, a review of both what these factors are and how they are addressed by urban planners is presented. A series of inquiries into the topic was carried out on town planning personnel and those involved in cultural heritage preservation in several towns and cities in Finland and in a small number of other European countries. The target group members were asked about observed climate change impacts on cultural heritage, about present steps being taken to protect urban cultural heritage, and also their views were obtained on how climate change impacts will be emphasised in the future in this regard. The results of the inquiry demonstrate that climate change is still considered only in a limited way in urban planning, and more interaction between different bodies, both planning and heritage authorities, as well as current research on climate change impacts, is needed in the field.

“…As depicted in Table 15, four studies employed compromise methods, as follows (i) COPRAS [153], (ii) TOPSIS [154,157], (iii) SAW and IFPPSI [154], and (iv) IOWA [161]. The remaining studies applied outranking methods (PROMETHEE and ELECTRE [154,161] and the multi-objective ZOGP [159] For the achievement of SDGs belonging to this category, several applications of MCDM methods reported in 36 studies are presented and discussed here, as follows: SDG 6-"Clean Water and Sanitation" [162][163][164][165][166][167][168], SDG 13-"Climate Action" [169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182], SDG 14-"Life below Water" [183][184][185][186][187][188], and SDG 15-"Life on Land" [189][190][191][192][193][194][195][196][197].…”

“…Concerning outranking methods, they were used in three studies: ELECTRE-III-H [158], ELECTRE III [165,167]. Since various degrees of ambiguity in deciding are observed, it is recommended to combine MCDM methods with fuzzy logic, which was observed in [162,166] 17 contains a summary of the reviewed articles and the main contributions of MCDM methods related to the achievement of SDG 13 [169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182]. Most of the decision problems concerning SDG 13 were linked to map and describe areas with flood risks associated with climate change impacts [170,171,173,174,177,182].…”

Multiple Criteria Decision Making for the Achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: A Systematic Literature Review and a Research Agenda

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have been widely employed in various fields and disciplines, including decision problems regarding Sustainable Development (SD) issues. The main objective of this paper is to present a systematic literature review (SLR) on MCDM methods supporting decisions focusing on the achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in regional, national, or local contexts. In this regard, 143 published scientific articles from 2016 to 2020 were retrieved from the Scopus database, selected and reviewed. They were categorized according to the decision problem associated with SDGs issues, the MCDM methodological approach, including the use (or not) of fuzzy set theory, sensitivity analysis, and multistakeholder approaches, the context of MCDM applications, and the MCDM classification (if utility-based, compromise, multi-objective, outranking, or other MCDM methods). The widespread adoption of MCDM methods in complex contexts confirms that they can help decision-makers solve multidimensional problems associated with key issues within the 2030 Agenda framework. Besides, the state-of-art review provides an improved understanding of this research field and directions for building a research agenda for those interested in advancing the research on MCDM applications in issues associated with the 2030 Agenda framework.

“…As a function of the (quantitative, qualitative...) nature of the indicator, there is a different way of implementing the evaluation, through value tables or value functions. This evaluation methodology of the indicators, based on MIVES, has been described in various academic works [70][71][72][73].…”

Evaluating Disruptive Innovation Project Management Capabilities

Firms must adapt to a business environment in constant flux. Economic and political factors and the constant interruption of new technologies force firms and organizations to change and to adapt, so that they are not left behind. Over recent years, the development of disruptive innovations has completely revolutionized past scenarios. These innovations break with what is already established and firms from various sectors face no choice other than to incorporate them into their project management portfolios, so as to ensure survival and business sustainability. Using MIVES methodology as its foundation, a business sustainability management model is presented in this paper for the management of disruptive innovation projects that a firm may wish to develop within a given sector. The management model is designed to facilitate disruptive innovation project management for firms within technological-industrial sectors, by assessing the sustainability of the project. The model is applied to two firms, one from the machine-tooling sector and another from the construction sector. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was performed, the results of which verified the validity and the stability of the proposed model.
