“…Many studies have been published based on the application of this type of technique in very varied fields that differ greatly from each other. Its use for studying industrial buildings is especially noteworthy [25,26] in the framework of this study, as well as its more recent use in the field of cultural heritage in general [11,21,[27][28][29][30] and industrial heritage in particular [3,19,31,32], and in guiding the process of reuse of heritage buildings [3,31,33]. All of these adaptations of multicriteria techniques show the interest and potential of these techniques for developing tools to manage industrial heritage assets.…”

“…However, the two criteria structures are connected: the cultural values that the first one identifies in parts of the site can affect its scope for adaptation to the uses considered, making adaptation of the associated architectural aspects desirable or undesirable [10,19]. Unlike other works in which multicriteria decision making techniques are applied to guide the reuse of heritage assets [3,30], the proposed Next, and again in both structures, there is a level of criteria that evaluates the presence of each characteristic from the previous level in the asset under analysis. Consequently, only characteristics actually found in the analyzed asset will have an effect, and characteristics that are not observed in the asset are rejected from the evaluation.…”

Multicriteria Decision Tool for Sustainable Reuse of Industrial Heritage into Its Urban and Social Environment. Case Studies

Most of industrial heritage assets need new activities to ensure their survival. In addition, the collection of assets is very broad, many of their locations have now become central and are targets for speculation, and the nature of these sites displays great specialization. Consequently, processes for reusing these assets are necessary to conserve them, but they risk destroying features whose value has been inadequately identified. This work faces this multicriteria problem by adapting the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to create two independent criteria structures, one for heritage valuation and another for analyzing the spatial compatibility with new uses, and then connecting them considering the relations between criteria of both structures and the relevance of the heritage aspects involved. All this to select those activities that cause minimal harm to the heritage value to be conserved. This work analyses three case studies to evaluate the performance of a tool based on an adaptation of AHP. The results are exposed and some application guidelines are provided, since doubts in the way to applying and interpreting the criteria are in practice a common problem of this type of approaches and that is rarely addressed. Thus, this work shows the potential of the proposed tool as a resource for sustainable urban development strategies.

“…Another specific problem faced with multi-criteria techniques relates to the evaluation of the priority of the intervention between several buildings, with reference to both restoration and/or requalification [29][30][31][32] and seismic improvement interventions [33]. With regard to ecclesiastical buildings, Sangiorgio et al [34] used AHP analysis to define an exposure index linked to the artistic and architectural value, to be integrated in the vulnerability assessment.…”

An AHP-Based Methodology for the Evaluation and Choice of Integrated Interventions on Historic Buildings

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Historic buildings are at the center of cultural and economic interests, due to issues related to their conservation and protection as well as their use and technical-performance efficiency. They are often considered within the accepted meaning of ‘assets-resource’. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the research and development of methodologies to appropriately intervene on this type of heritage assets. This contribution defines a methodology to select interventions capable of combining protection requirements with performance upgrading, as part of integrated seismic improvement and energy-environmental retrofit strategies. The aim is to develop a tool that not only supports Public Administrations in the planning/designing of appropriate interventions but also private investors in a partnership perspective. Given the need to use a multidisciplinary and multi-criteria approach, the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method has been used; it allows for the comparison of various intervention alternatives on the basis of certain evaluation criteria, aimed at obtaining a preference index. This approach allows us to support the decision-maker in making the most appropriate choice, according to a rationally structured procedure.

“…The intervention may also be further subject to limitations by the building regulations in force at the municipal level or by restrictions imposed by specific protection bodies. For this reason, it can be seen that it is not possible to identify a univocal way of operating that can be applied every time we find ourselves having to intervene on an abandoned cultural building [15,16]. Every single intervention needs an approach aimed at providing an optimal solution case by case, regardless of a careful analysis of the building, the surrounding context, and the actors involved in participating in the decision-making process.…”

Enhancing the Cultural Heritage through Adaptive Reuse. A Multicriteria Approach to Evaluate the Castello Visconteo in Cusago (Italy)

Cultural heritage can play a strategic role in developing a sustainable built environment, contributing to the improvement of the economic, social, and environmental productivity of a city. Human activities are constantly affecting the quality of the environment and altering the ecosystems, which produce negative consequences also on human wellbeing. Within this context, it has been much discussed how cities and the built environment can counteract this process by supporting more sustainable development. Adaptive reuse is defined as “a process that changes a disused or ineffective item into a new item that can be used for a different purpose”, which strongly triggers the sustainable development of cities. It can be recognized as a promoter of economic growth, social wellbeing, and environmental preservation, given its capability of both preserving past values and creating new ones. The adaptive reuse matches the main points of the circular economy, seen as the sustainable economy, which is aimed at the reduction of natural resource extraction and environmental impact by extending the useful life of materials and promoting recovery, reuse, and regeneration processes. Given these premises, the current contribution aimed to evaluate alternative scenarios for reuse in Castello Visconteo in Cusago, located in the Lombardy region (Italy), and understanding how adaptive reuse could contribute to generating new values within a circular economy perspective. In detail, four alternative scenarios were proposed to face the new needs born during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Since both intangible and tangible values must be considered, a multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) has been applied by combining economic and qualitative indicators to define the most suitable function for its adaptive reuse. In detail, the Novel Approach to Imprecise Assessment and Decision Environments (NAIADE) was used to identify the best alternative solution based on the opinions of conflicting stakeholders. The innovativeness of the contribution is given by the combination of different methodologies, the preservation of the memory and the generation of new values, and the consideration of adaptive reuse as a strategy for the achievement of sustainable development within a circular economy perspective.
