Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Method's Methodology

Summary With achievement to accounting equipment and powerful decision making systems in recent decades, it is possible to choose the best choices and to analyze perfect qualitative and quantitative Attributes and to examine their effects on each other. Nowadays with rising discussions about some criterion's determination and rising motivation in Interdisciplinary sciences and using group's ideas and different professions in solving complex problems, It has been important to considerate on decision making, analyzing techniques and taking profit of them in solving complex problems in architecture especially management and stable guidance on project's renovation in historical buildings. It is thought that the key of most problems related to architecture, is renovation and reusing the historical buildings. Because of different decision maker groups’ interference and also alternate relation between buildings, techniques and their environments (society, context, surrounding environment & etc.), the process of evaluation and choosing methods and suitable choices on architectural projects is a complex process and needs a considerable different and often opposite ideas of idea logs and consideration of different and complex quantitative and qualitative elements and examination of alternative relation between them. Most of the renovation and revival projects are influenced by expert’s opinions and different qualitative and quantitative subjects, because architecture and historical buildings renovation are Interdisciplinary courses. Generally they are in contrast. Carelessness and failure in decision making are necessitated to pay expenses of failure and sometimes it is inevitable. Strong technique in this field is needed in order to prevent the failure in making decision and paying its heavy expenditure. So, the present research is introduced to determine different techniques, classification and consideration of different effective qualitative and quantitative criteria, methodology of some multi-criteria decision analysis techniques, in order to considerate and manages stable renovation projects and compatible reconstruction of Iran’s historical buildings. Some multi-criteria decision making models are considered in this research and their fields of application are specified. The expected results from present research are included: Classification of all methods of decision analysis based on their methodology and internal preferences, specification of their fields of application and finally presentation of a model in order to choose suitable technique during the process of research projects. In this research, making model with assessment of quantitative and qualitative criterions is done and it is supported by models and multi-criteria decision analysis Techniques.
