Implementing MCDM requires evaluating various criteria to choose the best alternative. A key challenge in MCDM is identifying the principal criteria for evaluating alternatives, which typically necessitates an in-depth Systematic Literature Review (SLR), expert knowledge, brainstorming sessions, or a combination ...

Our approach considers both local factors specific to rural areas and external factors, such as the influence of non-local information sources, including innovative platforms and trans-regional networks. This method...
