Combining a Multi-Objective Approach and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to Include the Socio-Economic Dimension in an Air Quality Management Problem

Abstract: Due to some harmful effects on humans and the environment, particulate matter (PM) has recently become among the most studied atmospheric pollutants. Given the growing sensitivity to the problem and, since production and accumulation phenomena involving both primary and secondary P M 10 fractions are complex and non-linear, environmental authorities need tools to assess their plans designed to improve the air quality as requested from environmental laws. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can be… Show more

“…The complex nonlinear phenomena governing the formation and accumulation of NO 2 in the atmosphere are contingent upon the chemical properties of the compounds involved, as well as meteorological conditions, particularly solar radiation and dispersion conditions [3]. Consequently, numerous studies have been undertaken to develop suitable tools for assessing the impact of emission control strategies, with the aim of supporting regional, national, and local authorities in addressing this issue ( [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]). Based on the implemented solution/methodology these tools can be divided in:…”

“…For this reason, a number of studies concerning the impact of emission control strategies have been performed [5][6][7][8]. Because of this complexity, international, national, regional and local authorities need tools to support the decision makers in taking their decisions [9]. Based on the problem they should tackle, these tools can be divided into:…”

“…In the last decades, a number of decision-support systems has been developed [4] in order to help regional and local authorities to reach this objective. Even if in literature there is plenty of support systems developed to define long term plans for the pollutant exposure reduction [5][6][7][8], the formalization and implementation of decision support systems to develop short term plan is still in its infancy. The core of these systems formalization and development is the air quality forecasting model, needed to accurately reproduce the dynamics of the phenomena related to the formation, accumulation and removal of pollutants in the atmosphere.…”
