title = "A comparison of two MCDM methodologies in the selection of a windfarm location in Catalonia",
abstract = "A case study in a social multi-criteria evaluation framework for selecting a windfarm location in the regions of Urgell and La Conca de Barber{\`a} in Catalonia is presented. Two different MCDM approaches are introduced and compared through their application to the mentioned case. On the one hand, a Qualitative TOPSIS methodology able to address uncertainty and, able to deal with different levels of precision is considered. On the other hand, we consider the results obtained by a non-compensatory outranking MCDM method. Both approaches are analyzed and their performance in the selection of a windfarm location is compared. Although results show that both methods conduct to similar alternatives rankings, the study highlights both their advantages and drawbacks.",
