freshwater resources represent around 3% of all water on earth, and less than 1% of that is available. consideringcurrent conditions, as well as future predictions of need, freshwater resources cannot meet human needs. thus,sweetening of the brackish water can be performed to provide freshwater for human use. solar energy, because ofiran's climatic conditions, may be used for sweetening the bra...

Characterizing and identification of flood-susceptible areas can be a solution to mitigate the damages fatality rate. This study proposes novel hybrid MCDM framework assess flood susceptibility in large ungauged watersheds dealing with data scarcity issues. The proposed method examines interdependencies causal relationships between various criteria affecting flooding procedure using DEcision-MA...

In this paper, the decision making problems with the dependence and the feedback effects are considered. Although the analytic network/hierarchy process (ANP/AHP) has been proposed to deal with the problems above, several problems make the method impractical. In this paper, we proposed the fuzzy decision maps (FDM), which incorporates the eigenvalue method, the fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM), and t...

Green performance measure is vital for enterprises in making continuous improvements to maintain sustainable competitive advantages. Evaluation of green performance, however, is a challenging task due to the dependence complexity of the aspects, criteria, and the linguistic vagueness of some qualitative information and quantitative data together. To deal with this issue, this study proposes a n...

introduction: agriculture is one of the main uses of the land. using agriculture to increase production is always with acidification and loss of groundwater reserves. therefore, with proper planning for use of agricultural land so that to leave the least negative impacts on the soil and water pollution, it is regarded imperative for sustainable development. this study is aimed to better underst...

The consistency test is one of the critical components both in AHP and ANP. It is necessary to make sure if the judgment result is accuracy and reliable. This paper stated a specific process of consistency test in ANP with group judgment under intuitionistic fuzzy environment. A two steps de-fuzzification technique with intuitionistic fuzzy number reduction and generalized mean computation is p...

Supplier selection played a role in developing industry performance. It was one of the critical issues supply chain management. This study illustrated applying decision-making procedure for supplier on KUD Dau Batu by ANP and fuzzy TOPSIS. Four suppliers (Princi, Gading Kulon, Petung Sewu, Kucur) thought qualified procuring milk. The first step determined weight criteria sub-criteria that impac...

Economic growth in developing countries has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure projects like power plants. To meet these development needs, the government of Iran has engaged companies to carry out power plant projects. While many papers have been written on the subject of project risk management, little information exists on the actual use of risk management in practice. The prim...

In entrepreneurship management, the evaluation and selection of startups for acceleration programs, especially technology-based startups, are crucial. This process involves considering numerical qualitative criteria such as sales, prior startup experience, demand validation, product maturity. To effectively rank based on varying importance these criteria, a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making ...
