Abstract

Diverse cultural heritage, occurring on a local or regional scale, has become an extremely valuable base for creating new interesting tourist products. One example is the post-industrial heritage related to the areas of two former hard coal mines in the Czeladź Commune in the Silesian Voivodeship. The processes related to designing, planning and final decisions regarding selecting the best solution for the promotion of post-industrial heritage are, in this problem, non-trivial, as they have a complex structure and multiple criteria character. This paper presents specific characteristics of the decision problem under consideration resulting in several alternative options for a planned cultural tourism product (CTP) regarding post-industrial heritage in Czeladź. The analysis of its features, attributes, criteria and alternatives is provided to formulate a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. It is based on the 12-step analytic framework that implements the FITradeoff method for preference modelling. This method is operated by means of an interactive Decision Support System (DSS) with several flexibility features; moreover, the elicitation process is carried out based on partial information provided, which lead to time and effort saving.
