“…In these decision-making contexts, the evaluation process and the combined use of various methods and techniques are certainly useful to outline a conscious and shared program of transformation and enhancement, able to reflect the evolution of an interactive and dynamic dialogue of the community, the know-how of the local community and experts. This then incorporates into the evaluation process, characterized by continuous and constant interactions and feedback, the perception of the tangible and intangible relationships of the stakeholders and their system of values and relationships, and to identify weights and priorities aimed at the selection of actions attentive to the context [47,48].…”

In the current scientific debate, cities represent the contexts in which resources, capital, skills, and talents are concentrated and, at the same time, they are places where many challenges are concentrated regarding environmental (pollution, waste, climate change), economic (unemployment, social exclusion, well-being), political (instability in governance processes, lack of strategic planning), and cultural (training, creativity and innovation) dimensions. The city and historic centers in particular, are able to experiment the paradigm shift from a linear economy to a circular economy, in which synergic, fair, and inclusive processes capable of activating new forms of urban productivity and social and economic innovation are promoted. In particular, the European Commission identifies cultural heritage as the main driver of development and supports strategies in which it is considered as one of the founding elements of possible transformations, which can be activated through mixed top-down/bottom-up approaches, in the short and long term. In this perspective, cultural heritage can play a decisive role in terms of the urban strategy capable of generating new economic, cultural, and social values, which trigger innovative dynamics of local development. To address current urban challenges, this paper attempts to use a multi-criteria analysis to decision support, starting with a Multi-Stakeholder Decision Analysis (M-SDA), in order to assist decision makers in choosing suitable scenarios to trigger circular development processes, taking into account the role of cultural heritage in a systemic landscape perspective. The result is a hybrid methodological approach for designing complex urban regeneration processes able to assess which new uses/functions and potential actions, identified by the involved community, can trigger a circular development model which could be more suitable to implement a model of “culture-led” and “community-driven” development.

“…Based on the case study of a small-to-medium size hotel, the authors have outlined different cost-effective energy retrofit strategies and measures. After that, they have developed an integrated assessment model [ 15 , 16 ], in order to evaluate not only the feasibility and environmental sustainability of retrofit solutions but, also, the opportunity to maximize the trade-off between technical–environmental and economic–financial performances [ 17 , 18 ].…”

The paper addresses an important long-standing question in regards to the energy efficiency renovation of existing buildings, in this case hotels, towards nearly zero-energy (nZEBs) status. The renovation of existing hotels to achieve a nearly zero-energy (nZEBs) performance is one of the forefront goals of EU’s energy policy for 2050. The achievement of nZEBs target for hotels is necessary not only to comply with changing regulations and legislations, but also to foster competitiveness to secure new funding. Indeed, the nZEB hotel status allows for the reduction of operating costs and the increase of energy security, meeting the market and guests’ expectations. Actually, there is not a set national value of nZEBs for hotels to be attained, despite the fact that hotels are among the most energy-intensive buildings. This paper presents the case study of the energy retrofit of an existing historical hotel located in southern Italy (Syracuse) in order to achieve nZEBs status. Starting from the energy audit, the paper proposes a step-by-step approach to nZEBs performance, with a perspective on the costs, in order to identify the most effective energy solutions. Such an approach allows useful insights regarding energy and economic–financial strategies for achieving nZEBs standards to highlighted. Moreover, the results of this paper provide, to stakeholders, useful information for quantifying the technical convenience and economic profitability to reach an nZEBs target in order to prevent the expenses necessary by future energy retrofit programs.

“…It has emerged that these tools are extremely strategic, especially if adopted early in the planning stage or the pre-feasibility, playing a role of control and management (Cassalia, 2014). It can support the public body in the choice among different policy options, through negotiation among the various stakeholders for a more transparent and efficient identification of shared and sustainable choices (Guarini & Battisti, 2014b; Della Spina, et al, 2015). Thinking in terms of sustainability, the MCDM plays an important role in the path towards sustainability.…”

The urban policies and territories live a period of profound transformation, characterized by a shift to new approaches and governance tools. The programmed public action generates an application for assessment: facing the loss of representation of the political and the increasing complexity of the variables that influence public choices, decision-makers have the absolute need for auxiliary tools to help optimize the use of resources and, at the same time, to make the decisional path shareable and transparent. The always fewer resources available, the importance of the time during transformation processes, the rational legitimacy of choices are some of the difficult issues to solve that lead to the need to experiment with new tools to support decision makers, from the early stage of planning or in the pre-design phase (Saaty, 1990;2008).
