elicitation of preference parameters to construct a CAT-SD decision model, it is
recommended to follow a constructive approach involving the analyst (or facilitator)
and the DM (i.e. they interact during the decision process in a co-constructive way)
(Roy 1993). As a result, transparency can be added to decision aiding process in the
modelling phases.
4.5.3 Results and Role Played by the MCDA
The CAT-SD method seems to be extremely suitable as a support tool for a DM
towards a decision related to the adaptive reuse, where the potential of an abandoned
space is central to program definition. It could help in fact to reason on the versatility
of the places and suitability for specific uses, as well as to build an appropriate vision
that links the existing infrastructure and its potential to local and global trends. The
specific case study in Costa et al. (2019) has moreover the wish to “model” an
elusive theme such as the artistic one, presenting numerous obvious difficulties.
Features like the surface of the area, the temperature and the presence of open spaces
can vary for every cultural event in relation to different aspects, such as the will of
the artist or the particularity of the event itself. In this sense, every cultural event
represents a unique case: the consequence is that the definition of the general
paradigms to be used as input data in the computations has been a considerable
challenge.
More in general, the CAT-SD method can be applied in any decision related to
territorial and urban planning with the aim of supporting stakeholders and experts to
define sustainable destination of areas and buildings of interests through an adequate
multiple criteria decision aiding-based nominal classification procedure.
4.6 Built Environment: Application of the NAROR
for the Management of a Real Estate Portfolio
4.6.1 Decision Problem
This case study concerns the investigation of a real estate portfolio. In particular, in
2007 the city of Turin has been the first Italian city to have promoted the constitution
of a real estate investment trust for selling some of its unused properties. The fund
was constituted by 18 estates, for a total surface of more than 80,000 m
2 (Fig. 6.8).
The properties are mainly situated in the city centre and in the hillside, so in areas
characterized by a high medium value of the estates. The objective of the evaluation
is related to the choice of the best performing property in terms of valorization on the
real estate market (Bottero et al. 2016).
