“…Therefore, it is recommended to use multiple-criteria assessment-based frameworks that allow for the comparison of residential projects according to different, usually conflicting, significance-sustainability indicators. The research follows criticism by other authors [10] that the currently used tools (i.e., BREEAM) ignore some of the economic and social aspects. The first residential building in the Baltic States which has been granted a BREEAM international sustainable building certificate (A6) has not been ranked as the best project as it has significant weaknesses in other sustainability aspects not included in the BREEAM methodology, i.e., economic and social indicators.…”

Abstract:Housing is one of the most important public priorities affecting urban development and therefore has a significant impact on sustainable development. A housing project can be regarded as sustainable only when all the dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social) are dealt with. The aim of the present article is to propose an integrated, hierarchy-based, multiple-criteria approach for the sustainability assessment of new residential development projects, which is achieved through the accomplishment of three objectives. First, this paper proposes an original framework for a multiple-criteria assessment of new residential projects. Second, the proposed methodology is demonstrated in the assessment of nine residential development projects in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia according to a hierarchical system of 53 sustainability indicators developed specifically for the Baltic context. Finally, based on the research results, the paper proposes recommendations to stakeholders for enhancing the performance of new residential projects according to the principles of sustainability. The proposed sustainability assessment approach is not limited to the Baltic States and can also be used in other countries, applying the adapted sustainability assessment indicators.

“…Researchers in some publications also agree that multi-criteria methods in assessment of construction projects produce a more objective result [3,4,13,18]. The multi-criteria farm sustainable innovativeness measurement model proposed by us ( Figure 1) is based on the method of complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) suggested by authors, who proved the relevance of this method in assessing social phenomena [18]. But why is this method recognised as the best?…”

“…For example, some authors [16] proponents of multi-criteria methods for maintenance performance measurement, criticise decision-making following on from the results of measurements based on a single largest financial criterion [12,17]. Researchers in some publications also agree that multi-criteria methods in assessment of construction projects produce a more objective result [3,4,13,18]. The multi-criteria farm sustainable innovativeness measurement model proposed by us ( Figure 1) is based on the method of complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) suggested by authors, who proved the relevance of this method in assessing social phenomena [18].…”

Measuring sustainable innovativeness of farms is a major challenge for both practitioners and academics. This article looks into the need for sustainable innovativeness assessment in agricultural business. To the best of our knowledge, farm sustainable innovativeness measurement has not been investigated in detail and no objective methodology for innovativeness assessment has yet been proposed. The objective of this article is to look into the possibility of using some methodology for measuring farm sustainable innovativeness and thus ranking farms based on this criterion. The article demonstrates the need for a multi-criteria method of innovativeness measurement and substantiates the complex proportional assessment method (COPRAS) as the most appropriate choice for addressing this challenge. The article presents the model of use of the proposed method and describes its practical application. The final result refutes the opinion that farm innovation depends only on possibilities of investing in a certain area. Indeed, staff creativity and the position of the management regarding certain areas of business make an essential contribution to the sustainable innovativeness level in the agricultural organisations.
