Abstract

The topic of regional economic resilience has been the subject of intense debate in the academic and political fields over the past decade and gained a new sense of urgency because of the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus as territories faced relevant impacts on their economies and social structures. The economic downturn, the increase in unemployment, and the deterioration of social conditions lead policy makers to search for solutions to make their territories more resilient to this type of event. The current article discusses how multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) was used to help a Portuguese Intermunicipal Community, formed by 16 councils, develop a strategy to make its territory more cohesive, competitive, sustainable, and resilient. In addition to discussing an innovative application of a MCDA technique, this article illustrates how, through a MCDA approach, it was possible to reach a consensus among several policymakers, despite each of them having their own political agendas.

利用MCDA协助城市间社区制定应对SARS-CoV-2大流行的复原力战略

在过去的十年里，区域经济韧性问题一直是学术和政治领域激烈辩论的主题，由于严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型引起的疫情，各地区的经济和社会结构面临相关影响，这一主题获得了新的紧迫感。经济衰退、失业率上升和社会状况恶化促使政策制定者寻找解决方案，使其领土对此类事件更有抵抗力。本文讨论了如何使用多标准决策分析（MCDA）来帮助由16个委员会组成的葡萄牙跨州社区制定战略，使其领土更具凝聚力、竞争力、可持续性和韧性。除了讨论MCDA技术的创新应用外，本文还说明了如何通过MCDA方法，在几个决策者之间达成共识，尽管他们每个人都有自己的政治议程。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
