This paper presents an operational analysis method to support siting decisions for sustainable rural second homes in an ecotourism site, La Vera (Extremadura). In this study, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and ordered weighted averaging (OWA) approach of multi-attribute modeling are used in combination with geographic information system (GIS) capabilities. Accordingly, this work explores six exclusionary and twelve non-exclusionary criteria selected based on all possible characteristics of the existing planning policies together with two analytical procedures. Local residents’ field survey and experts’ group discussion are conducted to reach a consensus criteria weight and particularly to demonstrate their attitude. Then, with the aid of OWA operators with constant value of orness and maximum entropy, the optimal sites for a rural second home are represented in the study area to evaluate the present environment and to predict future improvements.
