> Workshop Description
> Within the study on decision-making essence and its links
> with some strictly related concepts as evaluation and choice,
> it is possible to state that whereas decision can be mostly
> considered as a “political” process, evaluation mainly
> includes technical issues, while choice induces both sides problems.
>
> * Evaluation concerns an initial phase of a cognitive
> process and the decision terms of reference defining the
> boundaries within which the entire process takes place and
> the evaluation purposes are defined.
> * Decision is a deliberative act which temporarily closes
> a long and predominantly political process where the
> relationship among individuals of a community (and therefore
> among contrasting interests) needs to be regulated.
> * Choice ends an evaluation process which aims to select
> a decisional alternative among many ones, on the base of
> different and often conflictual criteria and points of view.
> So it reminds the necessity to screen and compare many
> alternatives and to make a selection.
>
> How does Information Technology application in spatial
> analysis modify the way of making decisions? Decision Theory
> based its fundamentals on limited sets of solution and
> evaluation criteria for a long time, but the way of
> describing spatial issues of governance, characters and
> constraints of physical space shows a further complexity that
> can not be described without the use of new methods, in order
> to increase decision quality. Even if the core nature of
> decision approach still remains the same, the number of
> complexities connected within the process increases rapidly.
> The interaction among evaluation methods, and the new
> described complexity of the physical urban space create a new
> era for spatial decision support involving several
> disciplines, and domains of knowledge.
>
> In relation to what above, a decision process necessarily
> involves the existence of several social actors, usually
> called “stakeholders”, contributing to the final choice
> definition and enforcement; it is therefore important to
> stress the distinction between decision making and decision
> aiding, sometimes wrongly adopted as synonyms. While a
> decision maker is the subject able, at the same time, to give
> the knowledge and to have the responsibility to make a
> choice, a decision aiding context involves the existence of
> two distinctive subjects at least: the analyst (or a group of
> them) aiding the decision via a deep scientific knowledge and
> the client (public or private) to whom such support is
> directed. Therefore, in the first case the following elements
> are usually considered: a well defined set of possible
> decisional alternatives, a well defined preference system
> already clear in the decision maker mind and a correctly
> formulated mathematical problem. A decision! aiding approach
> implies a set of not necessary stable potential actions
> compared on the base of n criteria able to reflect, under a
> natural uncertainty, the social actor preferences; in this
> case, then, a well formalized mathematical problem is quite
> impossible. In this context Intelligent Spatial Analysis
> Systems represent a fundamental support to decision making
> processes in conformity with a double reading perspective:
>
> 1. they comprise a coherent set of methods and techniques
> which enable to deepen the investigation on the scientific
> aspect of decision making process, adopting several rigorous
> tools and models belonging to different fields as machine
> learning (i.e. cellular automata, multi-agent systems,
> Bayesian networks, artificial neural networks, etc.),
> geostatistics (i.e. kernel methods, kriging, support vector
> machines, etc.), remote sensing, spatial data warehousing and
> Spatial OLAP, and spatial data mining;
> 2. they represent an innovative mean to enhance and
> guarantee participation (i.e. spatial multicriteria decision
> aiding, electronic meetings, focus groups, etc.), consensus
> building and communicability consensus building and
> communicability of decision making scenarios among
> stakeholders, in order to reach a transparent and accepted
> final choice.
>
> The aim of the workshop is to investigate such connections
> among disciplines, by theoretical debates and tales on case studies.
>
