Rural development, especially in developing countries, has been one of the major concerns of the government. However, it has not been successfully solved in many places.

In this context the question that motivates the current research is: can the most important aspects related to rural development be integrated into a methodology that allows to identify and prioritise the most relevant issues to be taken into account in the decision-making process of public policies that aim to improve the quality of life of rural inhabitants while respecting their rights?
