Abstract
Nowadays, decision-making systems in modern infrastructural planning greatly impact everyday life. This paper proposes a novel modification of the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method VIKOR that can be successfully applied to infrastructural decision-making systems. Our contributions are twofold: We first solve a highway section selection on the Montenegro A1 highway. Secondly, we modify the VIKOR method for the multi-actor (MA) setting. Although the original VIKOR method recognized multi-actor preferences through the selection of the value of the compromise parameter v, it did not explicitly include multiple actors in the decision-making process. Moreover, we show how the multi-actor (MA) VIKOR method can serve as a decision support system for making important infra-structural decision problems, improve the transparency of the decision-making process with the rising need to include citizens in the decision-making process, and how it successfully solves the distortion in social choice problem.
