Prioritizing Community Transformation Initiatives using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis: A Framework for Changloon Transformation Project

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The Changloon Transformation Project (CTP) aims to transform a rural Malaysian town into a knowledge society over ten years through a multi-pillar approach focusing on waste, tourism, knowledge, and social transformation. With limited resources and diverse stakeholders, prioritizing initiatives is a key challenge. This paper presents a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework tailored to rank initiatives under the CTP. Criteria include alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), feasibility, impact, community involvement, scalability, and risk. A hypothetical decision matrix and sensitivity analysis demonstrate the framework’s practical application. Results provide actionable insights for decision-makers and highlight the framework’s potential for broader application in resource-constrained settings.
