Abstract

TOPSIS and VIKOR are two well-known and widely-used multiple attribute decision making methods. Many researchers have compared the results obtained from both methods in various application domains. In this paper, we present the implementation of a web-based decision support system that incorporates TOPSIS and VIKOR and allows decision makers to compare the results obtained from both methods. Decision makers can easily upload the input data and get thorough illustrative results. Moreover, different techniques are available for each step of these methods. A real-world case study on social sustainability in agriculture is presented to highlight the key features of the implemented system. The aim of this study is to classify and rank the rural areas of Central Macedonia in Northern Greece using a set of eight social sustainability indicators.
