This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

Groundwater contamination is a serious threat to water supply. Risk assessment of groundwater contamination is an effective way to protect the safety of groundwater resource. Groundwater is a complex and fuzzy system with many uncertainties, which is impacted by different geological and hydrological factors. In order to deal with the uncertainty in the risk assessment of groundwater contaminati...

The Pridneprovsky Chemical Plant was one of the largest uranium processing enterprises in the former USSR, producing a huge amount of uranium residues. The Zapadnoe tailings site contains most of these residues. We propose a theoretical framework based on multicriteria decision analysis and fuzzy logic to analyze different remediation alternatives for the Zapadnoe tailings, which simultaneously...

ABSTRACT Global warming is the today’s important problem for all over the world. Due to the global warming, countries come face to face with lots of problems such as shortage of clean and usable water, erosion, usage of natural resources, and climatic problems. That’s why; in this paper, we proposed a model for selection of the utilization strategies for water resources in Turkey by using analy...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is very popular method in the field of decision-making today. While one of the most natural extensions of AHP using fuzzy theory is to employ a reciprocal matrix with fuzzy-valued entries, some of the present authors proposed the fuzzy constraint-based approach before. In this paper, we consider about weights for fuzzy constraint-based approach and propose a kin...

higher education plays a very vital role in developing human resources as well as economic ones in every country. in so doing, the act of evaluation would help the decision makers as well as managers to spot the weaknesses to use the required provisions to work more effectively. the present study with a different approach toward the designing a comprehensive evaluation expert system using fuzzy...
