“…To process the assessment, we used the diviz software, as it is "a software for modeling, processing and sharing MCDA techniques and experiments" (Meyer and Bigaret, 2012). The Decision Deck project (which partly lies behind the diviz software), was initially aimed to enable the comparison of different analysis methods.…”

“…50 mobility offers were then prepared for assessment. We calculated the WeightedSum component of diviz (Meyer and Bigaret, 2012) in order to produce a weighted sum of alternatives with respect to a territorial-weighting strategy. Criteria weights were applied for the four types of territories presented in Subsection 2.1: (1) high-density, (2) dense, (3) mid-density and (4) low-density.…”

“…This first step helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of single mobility offers in a specific type of territory. We use the diviz decision-aid tool (Meyer and Bigaret, 2012;Bigaret and pillars of sustainable development: economy, environment and society (see Faucheux and Nicolaï, 2004a, for the criteria-building method).…”

Assessing 50 innovative mobility offers in low-density areas: A French application using a two-step decision-aid method

In this article we propose a decision-aid tool for local authorities to plan and implement their transport policies. We set out sustainable-mobility scenarios that depend on the geographical contexts of different areas based on 50 mobility offers, including active modes, car-sharing, public transport, etc. To do so we appeal to a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), relying on an original two-step assessment method. We first use the diviz decision-aid tool to obtain a global score for each mobility offer, on the basis of 18 criteria covering the three pillars of sustainable development (economy, environment and society) and the concerns of the mobility actors themselves (historical actors, newcomers, public authorities and users). This step supports mobility management by local authorities, as it makes it possible to rank mobility offers by type of area. Second, we use the MICMAC decision-aid tool to construct the influence and dependency relationships between our 18 criteria. The aim of this step is to identify some relevant criteria that are determinant in a prospective or strategic analysis, in order to consider what could be a development scenario for the future of everyday mobility in various areas. As alternatives to personal car are rare, we apply this two-step method to the case of low-density areas, and find highlighting results concerning the role of carpooling combined with walking, both being assisted by a powerful mobility application.

“…Table 4 presents the performance of the four projects = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } (corresponding respectively to housing and office buildings; green spaces; storage and business; and the status quo option) according to the four considered criteria = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } (corresponding respectively to decontamination and planning costs; economic benefits; social acceptability; and environmental and daily quality of life improvements). Once weights were obtained we applied the ELECTRE I method using Diviz software (Meyer and Bigaret 2012). It is a workbench for designing and executing MCDM using webservices.…”

Currently, participatory evaluation processes using multicriteria decision aids are barely used in the context of contaminated sites, even though they are a powerful tool for supporting landuse decision-making. The aim of this paper is to show how to apply such a participatory evaluation process (mixed methods) to the redevelopment of a contaminated brownfield site in France. Following the Model for the Operationalization of Democratic Evaluation (MODE), we designed a participatory process that enabled stakeholder empowerment to implement participatory multicriteria evaluations. We show that the (Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality) ELECTRE I method can be used to select consensus-based brownfield redevelopment projects and that such a participatory process can be implemented to ensure that feasible, coherent, and transparent choices are made for other brownfield redevelopment processes.

“…We used the method "SRF" available in DecSpace 1 [3,6], which has been developed to support multiple criteria decision problems. DecSpace is a web-based platform, which is inspired by diviz [22], having MCDA methods available for any user. In its current version, DecSpace has locally implemented the methods "SRF" and "CAT-SD" .…”

Assigning a house for refugees: an application of a multiple criteria nominal classification method

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper proposes the use of a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) nominal classification method to tackle a dramatic current social problem: the accommodation system for refugees. In recent years, the number of people in need of protection and assistance as a consequence of forced displacement has drastically increased. As many other European cities, Turin (Italy) offers to refugees temporary places for a limited time span, but they are insufficient and often inadequate. Meanwhile, there are several underused buildings that can potentially be used to cover the refugees' needs of housing and facility. Combining these two aspects, this study aims at contributing to the definition of an urban strategy and improve the decision aiding process related to the accommodation system in Turin. We adopt a recently developed MCDA method to tackle the problem of accommodation of migrants , that is, the Cat-SD (Categorization by Similarity-Dissimilarity) method. We face a nominal classification problem where underused buildings located in the city of Turin are assigned to categories (i.e., three migrant status). A decision model is constructed based on the judgments of the experts. Thus, the application of
