Abstract
The criteria modelling stage of the MCDA approaches constitute fundamental and critical process for the effective implementation and supporting the decision making. The level of consistency of the criteria family affects the accuracy and reliability of the application of the methodological approach used and the final acceptance of the assessed preference model. This research work is focused on the application of system dynamics methodological tools for the analysis of the decision problem statement and the identification of the relative features in a detailed manner. The tools of the system thinking approach and the techniques of the archetypes are employed in order to picture the points of view of the decision problem, their interrelations as well as their impacts. Exploiting the analytical features of the above-mentioned tools a comprehensive and easy to use approach for the analysis and presentation of the decision problem is available. The methodology is illustrated through a case study concerning the location selection problem for the establishment of Educational Units.
