城市基础设施发展的评估是一个决策过程，需要多学科利益相关者参与评估不同维度的可持续发展指标。然而，由于不同利益相关者偏好的异质性和难以区分可持续性决策标准（DC），这种评估存在不确定性。本研究旨在正式形成一个多学科的DC系统来评估可持续的基础设施发展，这代表了利益相关者对DC指标的偏好。进行了一项实证调查，以收集利益相关者对50个可持续发展指标的偏好，其中91名基础设施专业人员来自六个学科（即，业主、建筑师、工程师、承包商、供应商和顾问）应邀参加。因此，本研究确定了一个共同的和六个学科DC集，并定义了20个DC因素的权重信息结构的多学科决策过程，这表明多学科DC系统是正式的，可用于评估基础设施发展的可持续性绩效。此外，建议的多学科DC系统是全面的，通过确定DC指标的权重，在不同的学科减少不确定性。从理论上讲，多学科DC系统不仅通过整合行星-人-繁荣框架和产品-组织-过程框架，而且通过代表利益相关者的异质性来减少评估的不确定性，从而提高了可持续性测量的知识。从实际意义上讲，这样一个多学科的DC系统将成为管理者和政策制定者在决策过程中提高基础设施发展可持续性绩效的先驱。
The evaluation of urban infrastructure development is a decision‐making process with multidisciplinary stakeholder engagement assessing sustainability metrics in different dimensions. However, there are uncertainties in such an evaluation caused by the heterogeneity between different stakeholders' preferences and the difficulty in differentiating sustainability decision criteria (DC). This study aims to formalize a multidisciplinary DC system to evaluate sustainable infrastructure development, which represents the preferences to DC metrics heterogeneously weighted by stakeholders. An empirical survey was conducted to collect the stakeholders' preferences to 50 sustainability DC metrics in which 91 infrastructure professionals from six disciplines (i.e., owner, architect, engineer, contractor, supplier, and consultant) were invited to participate. As a result, this study identified one common and six disciplinary DC sets and defined 20 DC factors with weights information structuring the multidisciplinary decision‐making process, which indicates the multidisciplinary DC system is formal to be leveraged on assessing the sustainability performance of infrastructure development. In addition, the proposed multidisciplinary DC system is comprehensive in reducing uncertainties through determining the weights of DC metrics across various disciplines. Theoretically, the multidisciplinary DC system advances the knowledge of sustainability measurement by not only integrating the planet–people–prosperity framework and the product–organization–process framework but mitigating evaluation uncertainty through representing stakeholders' heterogeneity. For practical significance, such a multidisciplinary DC system will serve as a precursor for managers and policymakers in decision‐making processes to enhance sustainability performances of infrastructure development.
