ABSTRACT
This chapter maintains the definition of value function with the difference that the set of possible alternatives. The analytical expression for the value function can be obtained from the marginal value in each of the criteria and the global value allocated to each alternative by a multiple linear regression model. In our case, the importance the individual awards to each indicator is shown in the regression coefficient of the value function, as it is estimated based on the value of the indicators at each point in the territory and from the sustainability value obtained. In the proposed methodology, the value function is derived from the relation between the global value of sustainability (dependent variable) and all the feasible combinations of the sustainability indicators. Preferences were elicited for scenarios generated according to likely distributions of attributes, which was considered to be more satisfying to evaluators than directly assessing alternative actions.
