Using Macbeth For The Performance Expression Of A Mixeduse Ecopark

The deployment, control, and continuous improvement of a sustainable industrial park are complex and cross-sector endeavours involving many different aspects. Generally, control of a sustainable industrial park comprises a range of actions that are undertaken to achieve its sustainability that is deployed into fundamental objectives. Achieving these objectives requires the definition, recurring redefinition, and continuous control of an action plan. The decision maker in charge of the industrial park needs pieces of information on the impact of the action plan before and during its execution. The performance expressions (also called utilities), are evolving during the execution of the action plan and rely on multiple criteria since a sustainable industrial park is a complex system with numerous objectives. In this paper, an innovative use of multi-criteria decision analysis is presented. MACBETH is used to express the evolution of the performance of a sustainable industrial park, either for the purpose of prediction or verification. A case study is presented with the expression of the performance of a Canadian sustainable industrial park.
