“…This will then be used in the second step of the PROMETHEE V method; ie, the coefficients of the objective function of the entire linear programming will be the values of the net flow obtained in the first phase of the method, that is, resulting from the PROMETHEE II (ABU-TALEB; MARESCHAL, 1995). Thus, the entire linear programming model is described by Equations 5 and 7.…”

The urbanization process significantly changes natural drainage processes within a river basin, for instance with the increase of volume of rainwater drained superficially it also increases the peak flows of water bodies, degradation of the water quality, and the sediment generation, among others. Rainwater drainage management plays a key role in urban areas, becoming increasingly complex, involving not only hydrological and hydraulic aspects, but also environmental, social and health issues, as well as other technical and high costs issues. This complexity leads, increasingly, to the use of multicriteria analysis as a support for decision-making. To deal with this, this work aimed to apply a multicriteria analysis methodology, using PROMETHEE method, to issues of urban rainwater drainage. The results indicated that the application of multiparticipative decision making and multicriteria analysis to possible scenarios of hydraulic interventions is well suited to reality. RESUMOO processo de urbanização altera significativamente os processos de escoamento natural da bacia hidrográfica, com o aumento do volume das águas pluviais escoadas superficialmente, incremento das vazões de pico dos corpos d'água, degradação da qualidade da água, geração de sedimentos, entre outros. A gestão das águas pluviais tem, então, um papel fundamental em uma área urbana, este processo vem se tornando cada vez mais complexo, envolvendo não somente aspectos hidrológicos e hidráulicos, como também questões ambientais, sociais e sanitárias, além dos aspectos técnicos e de custos usualmente considerados. Esta complexidade leva, cada vez mais, ao uso da análise multicritério como suporte a decisão. Neste sentido, este trabalho objetiva a aplicação de uma metodologia de análise multicriterial aplicado a drenagem urbana, com o auxílio do PROMETHEE. Os resultados indicaram que a aplicação de análise de multicritério agregado aos cenários de intervenções hidráulicas se adequa bem à realidade, pois permite incluir uma gestão participativa.

The PROMETHEE methods basic principle is focused on a pairwise comparison of alternatives for each criterion, selecting a preference function type that often requires parameters in order to obtain a preference value. When a MCGDM problem is defined in an heterogeneous context, an adequate and common approach is to unify the involved information in linguistic values. However, for each criterion, there is a difficulty to select the specific preference function and define its parameters because they are expressed by crisp values in the unit interval, when the information involved in the problem has been unified into linguistic values. In this paper, a methodology for modeling linguistic preference functions in order to facilitate the selecting of each linguistic preference function type and the definition of its parameters is proposed, providing a more realistic definition of the criteria. Therefore, a generic linguistic preference function is proposed whose inputs and outputs are linguistic values. According to the generic linguistic preference function, six basic preference function types are extended for linguistic values. To do so, a linguistic difference function between linguistic values is defined, being its output, the input of the linguistic preference function. Furthermore, the proposed methodology is integrated in linguistic PROMETHEE I and II for heterogeneous MCGDM problems to obtain partial rankings and a full ranking of alternatives. So, the methodology provides pure linguistic PROMETHEE I and II that offer interpretability and understandability. Finally, the feasibility and applicability of pure linguistic PROMETHEE I and II are illustrated in a case study for the selection of a green supplier.
