Multicriteria Environmental Risk Evaluation Using Type II Fuzzy Sets

  • Conference paper
Advances in Computational Intelligence (IPMU 2012)

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 300))

Abstract

In this paper, interval type-2 fuzzy TOPSIS is used for environmental risk evaluation. By type-2 fuzzy sets we can consider the footprint of uncertainty in the membership functions. A multicriteria selection among the treatment alternatives of hazardous waste management is made. An application is presented.
