“…It is therefore necessary to discuss this point with all the actors. MCDA's characteristics and properties should be compatible with the speci c nature of the decision problem (Laaribi et al 1993, Vincke 1995, Laaribi et al 1996, Salminen et al 1998. For example, some MCDA techniques e ciently handle a continuous set of alternatives and criteria belonging to the same domain (e.g.…”

Abstract. Land-use planners often make complex decisions within a short period of time when they must take into account sustainable development and economic competitiveness. A set of land-use suitability maps would be very useful in this respect. Ideally, these maps should incorporate complex criteria integrating several stakeholders' points of view. To illustrate the feasibility of this approach, a land suitability map for housing was realised for a small region of Switzerland. Geographical Information System technology was used to assess the criteria requested to de ne the suitability of land for housing. An example dealing with the evaluation of noise levels illustrates the initial steps of this procedure. Because the required criteria are heterogeneous and measured on various scales, an outranking multicriteria analysis method called ELECTRE-TRI was used. However, using it to assess the suitability of any point in a territory was impractical due to computational limitations. Therefore, a mathematical function to evaluate closeness relationships and classify the study area into homogeneous zones was used. This function is compatible with the outranking function of ELECTRE-TRI used to assess the suitability index. The resulting maps lend e cient support to negotiation and are very useful in dealing with inherent con icts in land-use planning.

“…SDSSs, in general, integrate a Geographic Information System (GIS), at least in terms of basic functions, and MCDA tools. The general approach to creating SDSSs based on integrating GIS and MCDA functions and decision rules has been presented in publications [11][12][13][14][15][16] . The history and methodology of SDSSs development and examples of their practical implementation has also been discussed in [4,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] .…”

A new framework, Decerns, for multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) of a wide range of practical problems on risk management is introduced. Decerns framework contains a library of modules that are the basis for two scalable systems: DecernsMCDA for analysis of multicriteria problems, and DecernsSDSS for multicriteria analysis of spatial options. DecernsMCDA includes well known MCDA methods and original methods for uncertainty treatment based on probabilistic approaches and fuzzy numbers. These MCDA methods are described along with a case study on analysis of multicriteria location problem.

“…In general, the domain of Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) concerns the approach of explicitly taking into consideration the pros and cons of a plurality of points of view, in order to make a decision [7][8][9]. MCDA is an activity which helps making decisions mainly in terms of choosing, ranking or sorting the potentials [10].…”

Abstract. The pressing need to deploy the information and communications technology in the public sector effectively and efficiently along with the complexity of the decision making process have thrust research towards the development of public services prioritization models. The purpose of this paper is to outline a general multicriteria decision support method in order to identify the services that, if transformed to electronic ones, would act as ambassadors of the new era. Various technological, social, political and economic criteria have been taken under consideration. The proposed model is based on the Analytic Network Process (ANP), which takes into account both tangible and intangible criteria with interdependencies and feedback among them. A real case scenario concerning a Public Services selection process in Greece has been used to validate the presented model.
