“…To assess revitalization projects of various types of urban public space, Palicki (2015) created valuation models of different types of public space based on multi-criteria analysis methodology taken into account the multidimensionality of assessment criteria (space and economic, social, economic, urban and cultural indicators); the PROMETHEE method with the software D-sight was used. In addition, Torrieri and Batà (2017) used the Integrated Spatial Multi-criteria Decision Support System (ISMDSS), i.e., the integration of GIS and multi-criteria analysis, in strategic environmental assessment, to support the preparation of environmental assessment reports and the construction of scenarios for the adoption of urban plans. The table of effects included the agriculture, forestry, tourism, industry, noise, waste, and atmosphere and water indicators.…”

Renewable Energy Sources are expected to play a very important role in energy production in the following years. They constitute an energy production methodology which, if properly enabled, can ensure energy sufficiency as well as the protection of the environment. Energy production from biomass in particular is a very common method, which exploits a variety of resources (wood and wood waste, agricultural crops and their by-products after cultivation, animal wastes, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and food processing wastes) for the production of energy. This paper presents a Spatial Decision Support System, which enables managers to locate the most suitable areas for biomass power plant installation. For doing this, fuzzy logic and fuzzy membership functions are used for the creation of criteria layers and suitability maps. In this paper, we use a Multicriteria Decision Analysis methodology (Analytical Hierarchy Process) combined with fuzzy system elements for the determination of the weight coefficients of the participating criteria. Then, based on the combination of fuzzy logic and theAnalytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a final proposal is created thatdivides the area into four categories regarding their suitability forsupporting a biomass energy production power plant. For the two optimal locations, the biomass is also calculated.The framework is applied to theRegional Unit of Drama, which is situated in Northern Greece and is very well known for the area's forest and agricultural production.

“…Although the creation of the set of variables must of course represent the maximum number of requirements with the minimum number of possible elements [35,41,42]. The number of alternatives can be deduced by taking into account what has happened in the past in similar settlement proceedings in the same or in other administrative contexts [43,44]. The typology of the indicators (Table 3) varies in accordance with the decision-making problem to be resolved and the context in which it arises.…”

Real estate and land management are characterised by a complex, elaborate combination of technical, regulatory and governmental factors. In Europe, Public Administrators must address the complex decision-making problems that need to be resolved, while also acting in consideration of the expectations of the different stakeholders involved in settlement transformation. In complex situations (e.g., with different aspects to be considered and multilevel actors involved), decision-making processes are often used to solve multidisciplinary and multidimensional analyses, which support the choices of those who are making the decision. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are included among the examination and evaluation techniques considered useful by the European Community. Such analyses and techniques are performed using methods, which aim to reach a synthesis of the various forms of input data needed to define decision-making problems of a similar complexity. Thus, one or more of the conclusions reached allow for informed, well thought-out, strategic decisions. According to the technical literature on MCDA, numerous methods are applicable in different decision-making situations, however, advice for selecting the most appropriate for the specific field of application and problem have not been thoroughly investigated. In land and real estate management, numerous queries regarding evaluations often arise. In brief, the objective of this paper is to outline a procedure with which to select the method best suited to the specific queries of evaluation, which commonly arise while addressing decision-making problems. In particular issues of land and real estate management, representing the so-called "settlement sector". The procedure will follow a theoretical-methodological approach by formulating a taxonomy of the endogenous and exogenous variables of the multi-criteria analysis methods.
