Topic theme/category

MCDM methods employed

Focus of the paper

Berta, Bottero, and Ferretti (2016)

Mixed-method approach for the integration of urban design and economic evaluation

Analytic network process (ANP), multi-attribute value theory (MAVT)

Selection of the best masterplan option

Chen, Yoo, and Hwang (2017)

Fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) assessment of urban conservation in historic districts

Fuzzy AHP, fuzzy simple additive weighting (SAW)

Using an FMCDM model to assess a property-led urban conservation project’s success, various stakeholders’ worries and problematic factors may be quantified without the investigator’s subjective influence. Interdependence among the criteria is not assessed.
