Multicriteria Analysis for Environmental Decision-Making
The book provides an introduction to key concepts of multicriteria analysis, and a series of case studies that illustrate its application to a variety of environmental decision-making problems, ranging from protected area zoning to landfill siting, and from forest restoration to environmental impact assessment of tourism infrastructures.
Multicriteria analysis (MCA) has been increasingly used in environmental decision-making to support the identification of suitable courses of action, by integrating actual information coming for example from field surveys or impact modelling, with value-based information collected through stakeholder engagement. This book provides an introduction to key concepts of MCA, and a series of case studies that will illustrate the application of MCa to a variety of environmental decision-making problems.
Topics include:
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Protected areas planning and zoning
Tourist infrastructures planning
Forest restoration and nature conservation
Techniques described in the different cases include GIS-based MCA, sensitivity analysis, optimisation techniques, land suitability analysis, and others.
The book provides a compact reference that can be used by researchers as a key resource offering an update and overview of the field, as well as by practitioners and planners/decision makers as a source of inspiration for their activity.
Additionally, the book will be a suitable textbook for both under and post-graduate courses in a broad range of curricula.
