Abstract

Multicriteria methods were found to be useful tools to support decision-making about complex situations – such as those concerned with sustainable development issues – and to deal with conflicts in a structured and transparent way. Increasingly multicriteria evaluation (MCE) is also seen as a constructive response to the critique of cost-benefit analysis. MCE enables decision-makers to take multiple dimensions of impacts of the considered projects into account without the need for full monetarisation. A great number of multicriteria algorithms are now available. The algorithms differ in fundamental ways. Besides the algorithms also the implementation of the valuation technique is important for the outcome. In order to address issues like uncertainty, multiple legitimate perspectives and the need for learning during the decision process, ecological economists apply MCE mostly by combining the analytical tool with participatory techniques.

Zusammenfassung

Multikriterienmethoden erweisen sich als nützlich, um die Entscheidungsfindung in komplexen Situationen – wie solche eine nachhaltige Entwicklung betreffend – zu unterstützen und um mit Konflikten in einer strukturierten und transparenten Art umzugehen. Zunehmend wird multikriterielle Bewertung auch als konstruktive Antwort auf die Kritik der Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse gesehen. Die multikriterielle Bewertung ermöglicht es EntscheidungsträgerInnen, die verschiedenen Dimensionen der Auswirkungen der zur Auswahl stehenden Projekte zu berücksichtigen, ohne diese gänzlich monetarisieren zu müssen. Eine Vielzahl von grundlegend verschiedenen mathematischen Algorithmen für die multikriterielle Bewertung steht zur Verfügung. Außer dem Algorithmus beeinflusst auch die Implementierung der Bewertungsmethode das Ergebnis. Um Probleme wie Unsicherheit, unterschiedliche legitime Problemsichtweisen und die Notwendigkeit von Lernen während des Entscheidungsprozesses zu adressieren, setzen ökologische ÖkonomInnen multikriterielle Bewertung vor allem in Kombination mit partizipativen Methoden ein.
