Ranking redevelopment decisions of derelict buildings and analysis of ranking results

Abstract

Redevelopment of derelict buildings is examined from the aspects of sustainable development and a lot of conflicting criteria are involved. Fuzzified MCDM (multiple criteria decision making) methods, i.e. TOPSIS-F (the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) based on vector as well as linear normalization of initial criteria values, COPRAS-F (a method of multiple criteria COmplex PRoportional ASsessment of projects), and VIKOR-F (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje in Serbian) are applied for evaluating the rational use of buildings. A methodology for measuring the objective congruence (incongruence) of the ranking results of different MCDM methods as well as criteria of consistency (inconsistency) of ranking results are developed and applied for a particular case study of Lithuania.
