Abstract
With their urban equipment, socio-cultural environment, and user diversity, the university campuses emerge as critical public spaces, almost like small cities. Every individual living in the city and having the opportunity to interfere with daily life in public spaces has the right to benefit equally from the possibilities and options provided by the town in which they live. The concept of Inclusive Design emerged to ensure that people can access existing opportunities as equally as possible. Decision-making processes in architectural design include many stages. These processes are trying to find the best solution, called the solution alternatives of the problem to be solved, and choosing among these alternatives. In this paper, an integrated Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations (CFPR) - Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) methodology is applied to prioritize campus components according to the inclusive design principles. The results of this hybrid methodology were compared with the results of the CFPR and GRA methodologies. In conclusion, the ranking of campus components is obtained, and the most crucial campus component is selected for designing inclusive university campuses.
