An integrated approach for the assessment of urban transformation proposals in historic and consolidated tissues

The definition of a refurbishment intervention, in every step of the building process, brings to a complex decision problem; in a diachronic dimension of time, iterative and interactive must be put in relation a large variety of aspects with interrelations, concerning components, stakeholders and procedures that must be considered. The identification of the possible solutions depends on the construction of the evaluation procedures; shared goals with the stakeholders must be defined, on the basis of which can be assessed alternative intervention scenarios and make choices with regard to the matter under consideration. Thereby, in the present work a mixed method model in which are integrated Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Strategic Planning Tools and Participation Techniques has been proposed to be applied to refurbishment intervention in historical fabrics.
