Abstract
The evaluation of Territorial Development Plans (TDP) is a challenge most Latin American countries face. The problem arises in establishing a model to evaluate TDP that meets the criteria and indicators established in a national policy or regulatory framework under local needs. This study proposes an application to evaluate the TDP of the lagging areas in Chile based on the AHP multi-criteria methodology. This methodology allows to objectively unify the evaluation of the different plans, combining the different dimensions, objectives, scales, and judgments of the experts present in the evaluation process without sacrificing the quality, reliability, and participation of the actors involved. The model is flexible to changes in the criteria, as it can be updated according to the needs over time. An efficient and effective tool is provided to support decision-makers in formulating better development plans to bridge the gaps in territorial groups with high vulnerability.
