Evaluating Campus Components According to the Inclusive Design Principles Using CFPR and FANP Methodologies

Abstract

Campus setting is a place for people to learn, meet, explore, think, or relax. Inclusive design is an important step for the accreditation system with the current legislation. The inclusive design has become important not only in terms of access to the campus or access to the building but also in matters such as the way lessons are taught and the curriculum. Eight performance indicators based on inclusive design principles are “Class climate”, “Interaction”, “Physical environment and products”, “Teaching methods”, “Information resources and technology”, “Feedback”, “Evaluation” and “Residential”. The prioritization or weighting of these principles can be addressed as a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. For this reason, in this paper, Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations (CFPR) and Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) are used for the evaluation of these principles and the results of both methodologies are compared.
