Abstract

Performance evaluation is often encountered by designers, planners and other decision makers. Deliberated evaluation is a systematic evaluation method consists of 1)deliberating a complex evaluation task into aspects, 2)aggregating an overall evaluation from its aspects’ evaluations, and 3)materializing an aspect evaluation as a function of objectively measurable physical variables. This method leads to a mapping, as a model of evaluation processes, from objective measures of an evaluated object to its subjectively assessed performance measure. The main purpose of this method is “objectification” that means the evaluation conducted by one evaluator being fully understandable and reproducible by others.
