Abstract
This paper shows how MCDM can help in a complex process such as the assessment of the level of sustainability of a certain area. It presents the result of a study for the implementation of a model for measuring sustainability to address policy actions for the improvement of sustainability.
In order to assess sustainability in specific areas, a methodological approach based on multicriteria analysis has been developed. The aim is to define a ranking of the areas to better understand what are the needs for technical and financial support towards the sustainable development path. A case study is presented, the assessment of the level of sustainability in different areas of an Italian Region using the MCDM approach.
