Abstract
Fields associated with design and physical planning are
appropriate domains for the use of multicriteria decision
methods. Various methods are compared and “weighted
summation” technique is put forward as the most suitable
method for the needs of design and planning. The case of
city planning is used to illustrate the methodology. The
phases of “design of alternatives”, “determination of
objectives and criteria” and “evaluation” are described
with the help of examples. The paper concludes with
principles and problems in the use of multicriteria decision
methods in design and planning.
