| Abstract: | In this paper the authors describe a real-life application of an ordinal multicriteria method in the context of choosing a location for a waste treatment facility near Lappeenranta in South-Eastern Finland. The associated environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure is briefly described. The application was characterized by two interesting properties: no preference information was available, and only ordinal measurements for the criteria were available. The large amount of data obtained was then analyzed using the SMAA-O method - Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis with Ordinal criteria designed for this problem setting. SMAA-O converts ordinal information into cardinal data by simulating all possible mappings between ordinal and cardinal scales that preserve the given rankings. |
