Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis and Cost-Benefit Analysis: Comparing alternative frameworks for integrated valuation of ecosystem services (2016, neutral): “MCDA is widely applied in the academic literature on environmental decision-making (Kiker et al. 2005; Huang et al. 2011; Keisler and Linkov 2014), including biodiversity planning and management (Geneletti 2007, 2008) and there is an emerging literature on the use of MCDA in ecosystem service…”
Notes on TOPSIS method (2013, neutral): “Due to the possibility of criteria modelling, compensatory methods, certainly including TOPSIS, are widely used in various sectors of multi-criteria decision making (see [10], [2], [1]).”
Structuring problems for Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis in practice: A literature review of method combinations (2017, methodology): “Many cover specific application domains, e.g. natural resource management (Romero and Rehman, 1987), financial decision-making (Steuer and Na, 2003), environmental sciences (Huang et al., 2011b) and energy and environmental modelling (Wang and Poh, 2014).”
Tools and methods in participatory modeling: Selecting the right tool for the job (2018, background): “Other popular approaches for MCDA in environmental decision making are multi-attribute utility theory and outranking approaches (Huang et al., 2011).”
Analysis of the potentials of multi criteria decision analysis methods to conduct sustainability assessment (2014, methodology): “…and PROMETHEE) have been the most widely MCDA tools in sustainability-related research as reported in various publications (Wang et al., 2009; Huang et al., 2011; Herva and Roca, 2013) and (ii) the decision rules technique has been proposed as a powerful instrument to conduct sustainability…”
