Approximate Measurement in a Multiattribute Utility Context
Article Abstract:
In accordance with the sample ranking method of weight elicitation in multiattribute utility situations research, this study focused on good approximations to orderings with the sample ranking method of former research but a simpler ratio method. A multiattribute utility (MAU)-based questionnaire was developed to aid the long-range planning process of a county park department in Washington. The questionnaire was used in a preference survey and laboratory study. Findings in both are featured. Point allocation, voting, and rating yielded rather good approximations to the orderings which the ranking method yielded. Voting was the least efficient application method. Preferences were based on a hierarchically organized questionnaire. Subjects ranked drop-in park activities including open space, parks with water, and parks for equipment. Graphs of park supported activities and tables of response data are featured.
