University campuses bring together individuals from different socio-cultural backgrounds. At the same time, university campuses contribute to the personal and intellectual development of individuals and serve as a socialization area. Campuses create vitality with their social, cultural, economic, and spatial effects. In this paper, we study for evaluating inclusive campus environment design criteria using the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP) and Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations (CFPR) techniques, which are two Multi- Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. Seven Inclusive Campus Environment Design Criteria are “Land Use Organization”, “Compactness”, “Connectivity”, “Configuration”, “Living campus”, “Greens” and “Context”. The major contribution of our study is to prioritize inclusive campus environment design criteria by using numerical methods from the decision maker's perspective. According to the authors’ knowledge, this will be the first interdisciplinary study to use MCDM methods for evaluating inclusive campus environment design criteria. Additionally, the results of both methodologies are compared
