Abstract

Studies on multi-group multi-criteria decision making problems for oil spill contingency management are in their infancy. This paper presents a second order fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) model to resolve decision-making problem in the area of contingency management after environmental disasters. To assess the performance of different oil combat strategies FCE allows the utilization of lexical information, consideration of ecological and socio-economic criteria and involvement of a variety of stakeholders. On the other hand, the approach can be validated by using internal and external checks, which refer to sensitivity tests regarding its internal setups and comparisons with other methods, respectively. Through a case study based on the Pallas oil spill occurred in German North-Sea 1998, it is demonstrated that this approach has wide application potential in the field of integrated coastal zone management.
