Determining criteria weights is the most important task regarding these methods for which a number of methodologies based on different approaches were developed. These methodologies could be generally divided into two groups: subjective and objective. Shortly, these methodologies quantify given preferences using knowledge of experts if they are subjective or using calculations from available data if they are objective. Methodologies from these two groups give different results in a wide range of values. Therefore, it is useful to create composite indicators using aggregation of both approaches in order to reduce the influence of their bad individual characteristics and, therefore, achieve a balanced symmetrical approach. The purpose of this paper is constructing one efficient model that solves a problem of the planning of sustainable local economic development in the Republic of Serbia. Our approach uses the aggregation of the entropy method, as one objective approach, and the analytical hierarchy process, as a subjective approach, in executing business-friendly certification process. The implementation of the proposed approach has been demonstrated as a part of a business-to-government (B2G) platform called \u201cMulti-Criteria Support System for Analysis of the Local Economic Environment\u201d in the City of Ni\u0161.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12030425","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,6]],"date-time":"2020-03-06T09:26:41Z","timestamp":1583486801000},"page":"425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Use of Determination of the Importance of Criteria in Business-Friendly Certification of Cities as Sustainable Local Economic Development Planning Tool"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Milan","family":"Ran\u0111elovi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Technology Park Ni\u0161, 18000 Ni\u0161, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Slobodan","family":"Nedeljkovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Interior, Government of the Republic of Serbia, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mihailo","family":"Jovanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Office for Information Technologies and e-Government, Government of the Republic of Serbia, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Milan","family":"\u010cabarkapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3819-4387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladica","family":"Stojanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies, 11080 Zemun, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Aleksi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Diplomacy and Security, University Union-Nikola Tesla Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2008-4729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dragan","family":"Ran\u0111elovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Diplomacy and Security, University Union-Nikola Tesla Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"353","DOI":"10.1016\/S2212-5671(15)00036-2","article-title":"Evaluation of Local Business Environment in the Republic of Serbia","volume":"19","year":"2015","journal-title":"Procedia\u2013Econ.
