Description
Stakeholder involvement plays an increasingly important role in decision-making. Multi-actor multi-criteria analysis (MAMCA) is a methodology that involves the relevant stakeholders in the decision-making process. By having unique criteria sets for different stakeholder groups, the points of view from them can be confronted at the end of the evaluation.Stakeholder groups can be defined as groups that are influenced or be influenced by the result of the decision taken. However, in mass-participation applications, such as when involving citizens, the delineation of stakeholder groups is challenging, as stakeholders can be grouped in many different ways, based on different grouping variables.
In this work, we proposed a novel framework, called priority-based MAMCA (PMAMCA). Unlike the conventional MAMCA, the stakeholder analysis is not taken at the beginning of the PMAMCA. Instead, a public criteria pool is defined by considering all the possible criteria that the stakeholders might consider relevant. Then, the stakeholders are asked to weigh the importance level of the criteria, i.e., criteria ranking. Based on the criteria ranking, the stakeholders can be clustered into different groups based on their priorities. Afterward, the clustered stakeholder groups will do multi-criteria group decision-making (MGDM) respectively. Then, the alternative rankings of groups are revealed, and the final solution is sought.
