Dataset for Analysis of Bioregional Development Scenarios in Latvia

This dataset contains the complete set of expert evaluations and the full Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) calculation workflow used in the scientific publication “Analysis of Bioregional Development Scenarios in Latvia”. The AHP method was applied to identify and evaluate the criteria influencing the suitability of different bioregional development scenarios across Latvia’s regions, determining the relative importance of social, economic, ecological, and cultural dimensions through expert assessments and multi-criteria analysis. The dataset reflects the pairwise comparison judgments provided by six experts. The data were collected to assess the importance of criteria and sub-criteria when evaluating three bioregion development scenarios in Latvia: the Broad Integration Scenario, the Conservative Scenario, and the Culture and Tourism Scenario.
The dataset includes individual expert files containing each expert’s complete pairwise comparison matrices based on Saaty’s 1–9 scale, as well as the corresponding normalized values for all comparisons. These files represent the full set of primary expert judgments and the column-wise normalized matrices used in the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) evaluation.
This dataset ensures full transparency and reproducibility of the analytical process, fully aligned with the methodological approach used in the scientific publication, and includes metadata on expert selection, methodological principles, and quality control procedures.
