Chapter 3 in Urban Sustainability, 2021, pp 81-130 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The current chapter is focused on the foundations of decision aid especially in the context of sustainability. For that reasons, there is a formal definition and description of the decision making process and where in that process mathematical methods can assist decision makers. The main parts of the chapter deal with three of the most well-known Multi-Criteria Decision Aid methods: Data Envelopment Analysis, PROMETHEE and AHP. Throughout the text several examples are provided especially from the field of sustainability be it in the form of urban societal metabolism, urban transportation or from board games. Finally, extra material, notes and videos are provided to help the reader gain a more deep understanding of the matters.
