“…In this context, the DMs involved in the decision process could be a panel of animal scientists, veterinarians, consumers, etc. There are different methods for utility function determination, we chose MACBETH for several reasons: first, due to the available information on how to use this method to facilitate a consensus between stakeholders (Parnell et al, 2013;Bana e Costa et al, 2014), which may be one of the main difficulties which arise when a panel of different DMs is consulted to determine the utility functions and the aggregation parameters in a further stage of the project. Second, due to the fact that this method makes it easier to judge the different attractiveness of options with an increasing number of criteria, due to the use of qualitative judgements, and moreover, a scale of indifferent categories ('very weak', 'weak', 'moderate', 'strong', 'very strong' or 'extreme') (Bana e Costa et al, 2004).…”

The aim of this paper was to present an alternative multi-criteria evaluation model to assess animal welfare on farms based on the Welfare Quality ® (WQ) project, using an example of welfare assessment of growing pigs. The WQ assessment protocol follows a three-step aggregation process. Measures are aggregated into criteria, criteria into principles and principles into an overall assessment. This study focussed on the first step of the aggregation. Multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) was used to produce a value of welfare for each criterion. The utility functions and the aggregation function were constructed in two separated steps. The Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH) method was used for utility function determination and the Choquet Integral (CI) was used as an aggregation operator. The WQ decision-makers' preferences were fitted in order to construct the utility functions and to determine the CI parameters. The methods were tested with generated data sets for farms of growing pigs. Using the MAUT, similar results were obtained to the ones obtained applying the WQ protocol aggregation methods. It can be concluded that due to the use of an interactive approach such as MACBETH, this alternative methodology is more transparent and more flexible than the methodology proposed by WQ, which allows the possibility to modify the model according, for instance, to new scientific knowledge.

“…Inicialmente, as alternativas são comparadas em termos de cada critério, uma em relação a outra. As informações de força de preferência pelos critérios são então agregadas para permitir a seleção de uma alternativa dentre as disponíveis 11 23,24,25 .…”

“…A atribuição de escores tem, por conseguinte, três sentidos no contexto da ATS: (1) capturar a força de preferência e de prioridades dos grupos de interesse para as variações de desempenho apresentadas pelas tecnologias alternativas; (2) traduzir as medidas de desempenho capturadas pelos diferentes critérios em uma mesma métrica, por exemplo, uma escala de 0 a 100, de modo a permitir comparações entre critérios; e (3) converter as medidas de desempenho em escores, para que mudanças semelhantes na escala sejam igualmente preferidas (por exemplo, uma mudança de 10-20 é igualmente preferida a uma mudança de 60-70). Uma série de métodos tem sido utilizada para a obtenção de escores, como: escala visual analógica 40 , técnicas baseadas em mensuração de multiatributos 20 , comparações par a par 22 , mensuração de atratividade 25 , experimentos de escolhas discretas 41 , dentre outros; 5) Atribuir pesos aos critérios: os pesos representam, consequentemente, o valor relativo atribuído a cada um dos critérios individualmente, de modo que a combinação desses critérios possa refletir uma "medida de valor total". Em ATS, é fundamental decidir sobre as fontes de pesos para os critérios, o que significa definir as preferências relevantes para um processo de decisão.…”

SummaryThe EURO-HEALTHY project (Shaping EUROpean policies to promote HEALTH equitY) is a three-year Horizon 2020 research project launched in January 2015 aiming to advance knowledge of policies that have the highest potential to enhance health and health equity across European regions with particular focus on urban areas.Within the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, the call "Foresight for health policy development and regulation" underpinned the need for more meaningful information, particularly on the regional health inequalities within the EU. Consequently, EURO-HEALTHY developed a comprehensive and structured framework of analysis, integrating and quantifying key factors impacting population health and health inequalities, taking the EU's diversity into account and foreseeing the impact of policies. Following a socio-technical approach, the sound methods were built through highly participatory processes involving a large group of multidisciplinary experts and key stakeholders at different geographical levels. The methods were applied to analyse health and identify geographical health inequalities in 269 NUTS 2 regions, ten selected metropolitan areas and two city case studies.In this publication, we present some of the main findings, conclusions and recommendations of the EURO-HEALTHY project. The booklet consists of: I) Profiles of each Work Package summarizing their work and II) Fact sheets that present an overview of evidence on thematic areas going from the relationship between health status and a wide range of determinants, to specific methodological aspects including the evaluation of health and of policies with potential to promote health and health equity.Our desire is that the evidence shared in this informative booklet would be a starting point for policymakers and concerned stakeholders to enhance their understanding ...
