Multicriteria Analysis has been incorporated as a tool to support complex decisions nowadays, although in its beginnings the most frequent applications were in areas such as administration and finance. Currently, the relationship between technological and social needs have a great weight in studies where sustainability is the thematic axis. This research was carried out by consulting Web of Science, ProQuest and sciELO databases, with the support of Vosviewer and CiteSpace bibliometric processing software. In terms of new and traditional methods, some relevant trends were identified, such as the neutrosophic model and machine learning, which are being successfully incorporated together with Artificial Intelligence tools. The most relevant applications identified are related to the location of sites for sustainable energy generation, suitable sites for waste confinement, prediction of flood susceptible areas, development of cities and various organizational decisions to combat climate change.
