Randomized trial evaluates a new planning method for sustainable rural settlements, suggesting a model for future use.

This research aims to develop a transferable planning methodology for sustainable productive rural settlements, focusing on ex ante evaluation.
Developed a six-phase methodology: integrated territorial diagnosis, multicriteria evaluation model construction, baseline scenario assessment, planning model formulation, case study application, and comparative evaluation.
Applied the methodology to create a Master Plan and a productive housing module in Pocollay, Tacna, incorporating circular economy and bioclimatic design strategies.
The projected scenario achieved higher performance scores in architectural, environmental, productive, and socioeconomic indicators compared to the baseline.
Performance indicators were tailored based on criteria rather than post-construction impacts, facilitating future adaptability of the methodology.

Curinambe et al. (2026) studied this question.
