حمایت از انتخاب یک نوع سازگاری با یک ساختمان تاریخی با استفاده از مدل سازی فازی و تحلیل ساختاری

Changing the function of a historical building through adapting it to new use is one of the more effective ways of extending the life-cycle of degraded historical structures. The process of selecting a new method of use of a historical building requires the involvement of conscious decision-makers, whose view of the benefits associated with the adaptation reaches beyond economic gain, but also includes the importance of the protection of cultural heritage, as well as other benefits associated with the concept of sustainable development. The will to include interdisciplinary benefits, as well as the distinct nature of the decision-making problem that is the imprecise nature of information and the conflicts between the parties invested in the decision-making process adds to the complexity of the problem. The proper approach to these kinds of decision-making problems is making an attempt at deconstructing the problem and expressing it in a synthetic manner in the form of a model, followed by performing its analysis. The literature on the subjects provides a number of multi-criteria methods that can be used to support making decisions of this type. However, most of these methods do not take into account the relationships between the selection criteria, while none of them is suited to processing the imprecise and uncertain character of the initial data, which is a typical feature of decision-making problem at hand. Wishing to address these issues, the authors of this article propose a complex, multi-criteria approach that incorporates the above elements. Finally, the authors provide a practical example of the practical implementation of the aforementioned approach as a tool supporting the selection of a new form of use for the Great Armoury historical building, located in Gdańsk, Poland.
