“…Our research is based on GIS techniques that allow criteria derived from different sources like experts opinion to be combined in order to support vulnerability analysis. The capabilities of GIS in handling spatial aspects of conservation have boosted its use in the criteriabased evaluation for the prioritization and selection of potential conservation areas (Hamadouche et al 2013). The result of combination of AHP method and GIS analysis is vulnerability assessment of the cities against the earthquake with higher accuracy (Rashed and Weeks 2003;Thirumalaivasan et al 2003;Xiong et al 2007).…”

The disasters can result in considerable damages to urban structures. In vulnerable cities, the amount of economic damages and fatalities is highlighted. The review of the literature indicates the urban vulnerabilities related to building qualification and the society situation. In this paper, some factors that can affect the vulnerability of old cities in Iran are listed. For evaluating the importance of each factor in identifying the vulnerability of Fahadan district, the AHP method is used. Twenty-five academic-related disaster management experts helped to achieve the priority of factors. Two vulnerability maps of the district were achieved by using the weight of factors obtained from the AHP model and geographic information system (GIS). Maps' analysis shows that places with high vulnerability cover all parts of the district, and residential parts of district suffer from susceptibility. Also, the results show that less vulnerable parts of the district surround the district. Reconstruction and rehabilitation measures can decrease the vulnerability value of Fahadan district.

“…In land-use suitability assessment, for example, alternative options and preferences for land use can be determined using MCDA, through the identification of desirable objectives, related attributes, and criteria, such as social, economic, environmental and ecological factors. Some successful work of combining GIS and MCDA can be seen in the work of Jessy Paquette and John Lowry about assessing flood hazard [7], BachtiarFezizadeh and Thomas Blaschke about landslide analyzing [8], Gbanie and colleagues about modelling landfill location [9], and Hamadouche and colleagues about finding best preservation area [10].…”

Abstract.A decision sometimes needs to consider many aspects and to be judged by many people. Presenting a case of finding a suitable location for a new school this research proposes seven factors which its emphasis will be differently sorted by various people perspective. Each factor comes in a form of a multi-polygon layer that valued from 0 to 9, representing the suitability value of the certain aspect in the whole city area. The Public and some expert will judge by using the pair-wise comparison of those aspects. This research will provide web GIS application that will use by the public and the expert in this justification process and analyzing the result.

“…Ferretti et al's article summaries thirteen MCDA applications in heritage studies [4]. Amongst thirteen papers summarised plus two papers written by Ferretti et al, fifteen in total, there are seven papers using MCDA for site ranking [4,5,[13][14][15][16][17], six using MCDA + GIS for site ranking by mapping [18][19][20][21][22][23], one using MCDA for acquiring management priorities (i.e., importance of criteria) for ecosystem services [24] and one using MCDA for plan ranking in a given area [25]. All of them are applying criteria with known information, which means none of them deal with dynamic problems or involves unknown scenarios, regardless of a high inclusion of heritage management.…”

A Participatory Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis to Tackle a Complex Environmental Problem Involving Cultural Water Heritage and Nature

Multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods have shown advantages in supporting decision-making with problems that confront conflicting objectives. However, current applications to complex environmental problems featuring the dynamic social sphere, particularly problems involving cultural heritage and nature, have yet to substantially reflect this. The dynamic social sphere reflects the demand for scenario forecasting in decision-making support. This knowledge gap has not been addressed sufficiently in MCDA research. A participatory MCDA method is hence proposed as a merger with Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) as the scenario forecasting. The MCDA is then carried out to tackle a complex environmental problem caused by traditional food production in a historic town, Daxi in Taiwan. The result reveals a remarkable willingness to support this issue of a historically significant industry causing detriment to environment (with WTP estimate of 128,700,000 USD from the public) and suggests a plan that applies multiple policy instruments rather than following a potentially adverse polluter-pays principle. This manifests the authors’ argument that recognition of heritage significance has dramatically affected selection of policy instruments and provides a critical recommendation to the local government which has struggled to find solutions. The proposed MCDA also highlights its participatory aspect for addressing issues involving cultural heritage, supported by several key steps, in particular the intervention-impact value tree building, the scenario forecasting and the sensitivity analysis.
