“…In particular, the paper refers to the assessment of different urban regeneration scenarios for the city of Collegno (Italy). Differently from Bottero et al [11], who modeled urban resilience dynamics in Collegno by using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, and complementing Bottero et al [12] who combined Stakeholder Analysis and Stated Preference Methods to assess the social value of urban regeneration scenarios in Collegno and their related willingness to pay, we combine the PROMETHEE approach with SWOT Analysis and Stakeholder Analysis, to rank six urban regeneration alternatives and identify the solution that outranks the others, thus providing decision-makers with useful tools in making welfare-maximizing urban planning decisions. We thus aim to contribute framing a multimethodological evaluation process which can be transferred, once validated, in other decision contexts [13].…”

“…Finally, by means of Stakeholders Analysis the complexity of the decisional process can be represented, suggesting the evaluation criteria to be considered for the comparison of the alternative strategies ( Figure 1). In detail, starting from the alternatives analyzed by Bottero et al [11,12], we have selected six alternative projects, which we consider the most relevant according to the SWOT and Stakeholders Analyses. These alternatives can be described as follows ( Figure 2):…”

The paper illustrates the development of an evaluation model for supporting the decision-making process related to an urban regeneration intervention. In particular, the study proposes an original multi-methodological approach, which combines SWOT Analysis, Stakeholders Analysis and PROMETHEE method for the evaluation of alternative renewal strategies of an urban area in Northern Italy. The article also describes the work carried out within an experts’ panel that has been organized for validating the structuring of the decision problem and for evaluating the criteria of the model.

“…This sensitivity analysis is based on the "one-at-a-time" approach. The OAT approach [41][42][43] is used to validate the reliability of the outputs delivered by landscape and territorial evaluations, such as in the case of systems of indicators and indices. Specifically, the OAT approach increases the performance of the system of indicators by varying the weight of a single indicator and maintaining the other indicators on their central values.…”

The present paper focuses on an integrated evaluation methodology aimed at measuring the attractiveness of rural landscapes. The landscapes under observation are two exceptional contexts in Piedmont (Italy): The Moraine Amphitheatre of Ivrea and the vineyard landscape of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, which have recently been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The proposed investigation tool consists of the use of a system of landscape indicators, from which a synthetic index called the landscape economic attractiveness index has been obtained, and the integration of the results in a dynamic model, considering the synthetic index as a factor of people mobility in a multi-pole system. This integrated approach aims at supporting the decision-making process in the definition and orientation of landscape and territorial transformation policies, respecting the landscape components.

“…Sensitivity analysis can increase the reliability of the model and thus, reduce the uncertainty of parameters used in the models. A very common sensitivity test is the One-At-Time approach (OAT) [89] that is often used in Multicriteria Analysis as final tuning [75,90,91]. This, in fact, facilitates the scenarios' assessment when actors and stakeholders are involved in a participatory decision-making process [92,93].…”

The present paper focuses on the role covered by dynamic models as support for the decision-making process in the evaluation of policies and actions for increasing the resilience of cities and territories. In recent decades, urban resilience has been recognized as a dynamic and multidimensional phenomenon that characterizes urban and metropolitan area dynamics. Therefore, it may be considered a fundamental aspect of urban and territorial planning. The employment of quantitative methods, such as dynamic models, is useful for the prediction of the dynamic behavior of territories and of their resilience. The present work discusses the system dynamics model and the Lotka-Volterra cooperative systems and shows how these models can aid technicians in resilience assessment and also decision makers in the definition of policies and actions, especially if integrated in wide evaluation frameworks for urban resilience achievements. This paper aims to provide an epistemological perspective of the application of dynamic models in resilience assessment, underlying the possible contribution to this issue through the analysis of a real case study and methodological framework. The main objective of this work is to lay the basis for future compared applications of these two models to the same case study.in order to underline dynamic model (DM) features that are closely related to the decision-making process in territorial and urban planning [11]. DMs are recognized as suitable tools to evaluate policies and actions aimed at increasing urban resilience [12][13][14]. This property is related to the fact that these models are built and grounded on dimensions related to both urban systems and urban resilience. In fact, during the construction of the model, it is necessary to select and identify which aspects of a territorial system have to be included with reference to the evaluation goal, from the environmental to the economic dimension [11,12,15]. In this sense, DMs are able to reveal both the dynamic behavior of urban and territorial systems and the impacts of policies on the key variables identified.Specifically, the main aim of this work is to study the principal characteristics of the system dynamics model (SDM) and Lotka-Volterra models (LV) in order to apply both to the same case study. The final purpose of this investigation is to understand the importance of the modelling approach in the field of resilience evaluation.The paper is structured as follows: Section 2 describes the current state of the art of resilience and urban resilience; Section 3 explains the role of dynamic models-the system dynamic models (SDM) and Lotka-Volterra models (LV)-in the decision-making process and summarizes their methodological background, state of art and some illustrative examples; Section 4 explains how the SDM models and LV models could contribute to urban planning; a comparative matrix is developed to investigate the utility of the considered models in predicting support in the design of future transformation scenarios; and Section 5 incl...
