Abstract

Aunque el concepto de multifuncionalidad está plasmado, implícita o explícitamente, en el diseño de las políticas agrarias actuales, su consideración a la hora de analizar y evaluar sistemas agrarios es aún relativamente escasa en la literatura. Para tal fin se propone utilizar el Proceso Analítico Jerárquico (Analytic Hierarchy Process - AHP), técnica de decisión multicriterio discreta que se utiliza para la toma de decisiones complejas. La metodología AHP es expuesta junto con un procedimiento propuesto para medir el acuerdo relativo entre decisores y la uniformidad de las alternativas en la toma de decisiones en grupo. Finalmente, AHP es aplicado a la evaluación del olivar ecológico, integrado y convencional de Andalucía considerando criterios de distinta naturaleza -económicos, técnicos, socioculturales y medioambientales- con el fin de determinar la forma o formas de producción más interesantes globalmente en el medio-largo plazo para el conjunto de la sociedad en base al conocimiento de expertos en olivar. Palabras clave: Multifuncionalidad, Proceso Analítico Jerárquico, AHP, toma de decisiones multicriterio, toma de decisiones en grupo, índices de acuerdo relativo, índices de uniformidad relativa, olivar. ABSTRACT Even though multifunctionality concept is reflected, implicit or explicitly, in the design of actual agrarian policies, its consideration when analysing and assessing agrarian systems is relatively limited in the scientific literature. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed with this aim. AHP is a multicriteria discrete decision support technique that is used in complex decision making. This methodology is stated jointly with a proposed procedure to measure relative agreement among decision makers and alternatives performances in group decision making. Finally AHP is implemented in the assessment of organic, integrated and conventional olive grove in Andalusia considering criteria of a different nature - economic, technical, sociocultural and environmental. The final purpose is determining the more interesting growing techniques from a holistic point of view for all the society in the medium/long-term on the basis of knowledge of experts on olive.
