Examples of pictures for the visual campus assessment
A related interesting example of the importance of flexible planning for
sustainability applied to the life cycle of buildings can be found in Fawcett
et al. (
2012
). For our Strategic Choice Analysis, the suggestions from the
participants in the meetings were organized according to the campus profiles,
while only the most important items (according to the scores given by them)
were next considered. The methodology recently developed by Kourtit and

2011
) for a Strategic Choice Analysis based on the SWOT methodology

20.3.1 Multi-Criteria Analysis
A Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) is based on a representation of the multi-faceted
aspects of choice alternatives, in our case, the five campus profiles. The MCA
method used is the Regime method, which presupposes a set of a priori defined
alternatives and a distinct set of a priori defined evaluation criteria (assessment
factors). When adding a ranking for the importance of the evaluation criteria, the
