Exploring the environmental value of ecosystem services for a river basin through a spatial multicriteria analysis.

Highlights: [•] To increase awareness of environmental issues in the land use planning process. [•] Environmental quality was divided in naturalness (strengths) and pressures (weaknesses) of the area. [•] A MC-SDSS model was developed to provide a suitability map of the Pellice River Basin. [•] Several scenarios were generated so as to simulate different evaluation perspectives. [•] An economic evaluation of ecosystem services was carried out. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
