INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE: AN ASSESSMENT OF ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

This paper aims to offer an applicable evaluation framework for assessing project alternatives employing different multicriteria evaluation methods as a tool to manage conflicts in a decision-making process. The first part of the paper consists of a brief exposition on the great diversity of modern assessment methods. The focus is on three recently developed techniques: regime analysis, the analytical hierarchic process (AHP) method and the flag model. In the second part of the paper, these three techniques are applied to a real-world case concerning the design of a new road network in the area of the National Park of Cilento in Italy.
