Abstract

Nowadays, the efforts to achieve sustainable development in many areas are a challenge creating the necessity to introduce innovations in management. Objective assessment of realization of set goals requires taking into account many often conflicting criteria. This work aims to present an attempt to implement a decision support system (DSS) based on multi-criteria decision analysis methods for autonomous sustainable evaluation in any problem area. The system’s capabilities are illustrated in the example of using renewable energy sources in European countries. This problem is one of the current challenges related to climate change and exhaustion of natural energy resources, which forces changes in energy policy, taking into account, among others, the increase in the share of renewable energy sources in many branches of the economy. The obtained results prove that the system proposed by the authors is an appropriate and valuable tool for assessing sustainability in problems involving various areas.

Towards MCDA Based Decision Support System Addressing Sustainable Assessment

Nowadays, the efforts to achieve sustainable development in many areas are a challenge creating the necessity to introduce innovations in management. Objective assessment of realization of set goals requires taking into account many often conflicting criteria. This work aims to present an attempt to implement a decision support system (DSS) based on multi-criteria decision analysis methods for autonomous sustainable evaluation in any problem area. The system’s capabilities are illustrated in the example of using renewable energy sources in European countries. This problem is one of the current challenges related to climate change and exhaustion of natural energy resources, which forces changes in energy policy, taking into account, among others, the increase in the share of renewable energy sources in many branches of the economy. The obtained results prove that the system proposed by the authors is an appropriate and valuable tool for assessing sustainability in problems involving various areas.
