Application Framework of Multi-Criteria Methods in Sustainability Assessment

In the contemporary literature on sustainability, one can notice an increasingly frequent use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods instead classic sustainability indices. The MCDA method should be tailored to specific problem and decision situation so that its results are credible satisfactory for decision-maker. Therefore, following research questions arise: (1) which most often used in problems, (2) depending characteristics a particular assessment. aim article is scientifically analyse applicability various decision-making problems related sustainable development, article, based analysis literature, set features has been developed determines possibility using individual problems. Then, 28 presented framework selecting purpose indicated. As result conducted research, it was found commonly primarily arithmetic aggregation criteria. addition, fuzzy modifications classical more often. Research established functional than assessment gives much flexibility proposed allows decision-maker independently assess potential multi-criteria sustainability. enables selection appropriate defined needs decision-maker, resulting from problem, structure, situation.
