Using Analytic Hierarchy Process and Best-Worst Method in Group Evaluation of Urban Park Quality

Bojan Srdjevic et al.

Summary: This paper compares two multi-criteria methods, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the best-worst method (BWM), in assessing criteria related to the quality of urban parks. The study found that there were similarities in the evaluation results after applying the two different decision support methods, indicating a high consistency between experts during the cognitive evaluation processes. All applied aggregation schemes performed well and may be considered trustworthy in identifying the group solution.
