Abstract:
With the increase of the global population and the improvement of people's living standards, the output of garbage generated by human activities is also increasing day by day. Choosing an appropriate garbage disposal site is one of the key links for the harmless disposal of garbage. However, due to the uncertainty and complexity of socio-economic development and the limited cognitive ability of decision-makers, how to rationally select the garbage disposal site has become a challenging task. This study drew a new multi-attribute decision-making method based on interval q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted power Muirhead mean (Iq-ROFPWMM) operator to evaluate site selection scheme of garbage disposal plant, and support for garbage disposal site selection. In this method, firstly, power average and Muirhead mean operators are integrated and introduced into the interval q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment to construct an Iq-ROFPWMM operator. Meanwhile, some properties of idempotence, boundedness and monotonicity for the Iq-ROFPWMM operator are analyzed. Then, a multi-attribute decision-making method using Iq-ROFPWMM operator is established. After that, a practical case on the evaluation of garbage disposal site selection scheme is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Further, parameter analysis and comparative analysis are applied to demonstrate the superiority of our method. The results show that this method boasts wider space for evaluation information representation, more flexible adaptation to the environment evaluation, and stronger robustness of the evaluation results. Finally, some conclusions of this study are drawn and the development direction is revealed.
