Deliberative Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (DSM-CE): Forming Shared Cultural Values

摘要

The paper introduces a methodological approach for a Deliberative Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (DSM-CE) able to support cultural enhancement, combining deliberative multi-criteria evaluation methods and Geographic Information System (GIS). The purpose concerns the cultural regeneration issue in an interdisciplinary complex decisional context where an interactive decisionmaking process among the different stakeholders is oriented to the identification of shared cultural values. The decision-making process has been elaborated for the historic centre of Naples (Italy), in order to activate a culture-led regeneration process and to recognise in the culture the ability to influence site-specific planning actions.
