“…The objective of this methodology is to obtain a reliable ranking of best alternatives in SUMP with which to improve the ease of implementation of SUMPs in cities. To this end, two different MCDM methods will be used: WSM ([ 36 ]) and SIMUS ([ 27 ]). These two methods will first be briefly described and justified, and then their mixed implementation through a hybrid methodology proposal will be explained.…”

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) are increasingly popular planning tools in cities with environmental issues where numerous actions are usually proposed to reduce pollution from urban transport. However, the diagnosis and implementation of these processes requires broad consensus from all stakeholders and the ability to fit them into urban planning in such a way that it allows the proposals to become realistic actions. In this study, a review of the sustainable urban mobility plans of 47 cities in Spain during the last 15 years has been carried out, analyzing both the diagnosis and proposal of solutions and their subsequent implementation. From the results obtained, a new framework based on a structured hybrid methodology is proposed to aid decision-making for the evaluation of alternatives in the implementation of proposals in SUMP. This hybrid methodology considers experts’ and stakeholders’ opinion and applies two different multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods in different phases to present two rankings of best alternatives. From that experience, an analysis based on the MCDM methods called ‘Sequential Interactive Modelling for Urban Systems (SIMUS)’ and weighted sum method (WSM) was applied to a case study of the city of Cartagena, a southeastern middle-size city in Spain. This analytic proposal has been transferred to the practical field in the SUMP of Cartagena, the first instrument of this nature developed after COVID-19 in Spain for a relevant city. The results show how this framework, based on a hybrid methodology, allows the development of complex decision mapping processes using these instruments without obviating the need to generate planning tools that can be transferred from the theoretical framework of urban reality.

“…This approach makes the SIMUS approach more attractive for proposing a hybrid framework in the case of urban mobility planning compared to other MCDM methods such as AHP [ 36 ], MOORA [ 39 ], ELECTRE [ 40 , 41 ], PROMETHEE [ 42 ], SAW [ 41 ] or TOPSIS [ 43 ], for example.…”

“…Once a comparison matrix has been made, it is necessary to sum the values in each column of the pair-wise matrix, compute each element of the matrix by its column total, and calculate the weight vector by finding the row average as in Equation (11) [60,63]:…”

“…The weighted sum matrix is found by multiplying the pair-wise comparison matrix and the weight vector. Then, dividing all the elements of the weighted sum matrix by their respective priority vector element, a consistency vector (CV) is obtained as by Equation ( 12), [60][61][62][63]:…”

Hydrographic survey or seabed mapping plays an important role in achieving better maritime safety, especially in coastal waters. Due to advances in survey technologies, it becomes important to choose well-suited technology for a specific area. Moreover, various technologies have various ranges of equipment and manufacturers, as well as characteristics. Therefore, in this paper, a novel method of a hydrographic survey, i.e., identifying the appropriate technology, has been developed. The method is based on a reduced elimination matrix, decision tree supervised learning, and multicriteria decision methods. The available technologies were: remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB), and multibeam echosounder (MBES), and they are applied as a case study of Kaštela Bay. Results show, considering the specifics of the survey area, that UAV is the best-suited technology to be used for a hydrographic survey. However, some other technologies, such as SDB come close and can be considered an alternative for hydrographic surveys.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a paramount role in economic and social growth of every country. FDI acts as a source of external capital and helps in economic growth of the host country. Making decision for FDI during uncertain business environment is a challenge for all stakeholders. Therefore, in this study, we are proposing a decision making framework for FDI. Through literature review, we have identified the factors, on which FDI depends. A process‐based, multi‐criterion, integrated hierarchical approach for deciding about FDI, has been illustrated. In this study, five sectors are considered, that is, petroleum and natural resource, retailing and e‐commerce, healthcare, information technology, and road and highways for illustrating the proposed framework. It is observed that information technology sector has got top priority for FDI followed by retailing and e‐commerce and health care sector. Findings will help in taking appropriate decision by stakeholders for FDI. Ultimately it will also help in creating employment, economic growth, and welfare of society at large in the host country.
