Abstract
As illustrated in Part III, the decision-support system (DSS) is composed of two parts:
-
An evaluation system relying on a mathematical algorithm that simultaneously and contextually assesses different indicators (composed of multiple variables) that can be formally defined and represented. For brevity, we refer to this first part of the output as “Tool”.
-
An interpretation and assessment system that relies on the active participation of local communities and “interested populations” (European Landscape Convention/ELC 2000) and uses indicators that cannot be formalized in a mathematical algorithm. For brevity, we refer to this second part of the output as “Forum”.
