abstract

in last decades, the skillful planning of land resources has become a major issue for rural development. the development of cultivated areas becomes gradually impossible due to ever increasing population growth and urban development. fuzzy logic is preferred to boolean logic for land evaluation, because fuzzy techniques lead to estimate for land use suitability on a continuous scale and can therefore, be more informative than the boolean technique. the objective of this study is to apply fuzzy set methodology in the context of a decision making process known as the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) to land evaluation for irrigated wheat. the results revealed that the results obtained with fuzzy ahp method are in better agreement (r2=0.911) with the observed yield as compared to those obtained with parametric method (r2=0.804). although, the fuzzy ahp provided more efficient and accurate results than parametric method, the choice of membership functions, width of the transition zones and weight values are determinant to achieve its realistic results in land suitability assessment.

Evaluation of land suitability for irrigation using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

Use of new techniques to evaluate irrigation areas can enhance water use efficiency in agriculture. In this study, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy Process (FAHP) was used to qualitative land suitability for sprinkler irrigation and was compared with the parametric method. Evaluation based on parametric method showed that an area of about 1597.83 hectares (31%) of the lands was highly suitable (S1)...

Application of Interval-valued Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach in Selection Cargo Terminals, a Case Study

Cargo terminals are the gateways for entrance of commodities into the transportation network. Therefore, locating them in optimal location could have a major impact on the cost effectiveness and efficiency of transport, traffic safety and reduction in environmental pollutions. Due to the presence of a large number of parameters involved and the existing uncertainties, decision making in this fi...

Using multi-criteria evaluation techniques of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy TOPSIS in locating waste sanitary landfill sites

Considering non-normative extension and too much development of cities, the lack of accurate model of consumption, increasing waste production, the most logical and most economical method for disposal of municipal waste is sanitary landfill. Given that, to identify areas prone to waste landfilling requires application of comprehensive techniques. The main objective for the present research is t...

Evaluation of services using a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

This paper proposes a new approach for tackling the uncertainty and imprecision of the service evaluation process. Identifying suitable service offers, evaluating the offers and choosing the best alternatives are activities that set the scene for the consequent stages in negotiations and influence in a unique manner the following deliberations. The prenegotiation problem in negotiations over se...

Evaluation of optimal waste management in the plating industry based on the Delphi Method and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Case Study: Paitakht Industrial District of Tehran)

The plating industry is one of the main toxic chemicals consumers, which uses various chemicals, including solvents, acids, bases, cleansers, sophisticated organic ingredients, and metal salts of cadmium, nickel and chromium. Due to the growing production of industrial waste in spite of actions related to these wastes’ management, no comprehensive pattern was introduced at different levels. Thi...
