This paper evaluates and ranks the temporal dimensions, known as fourth dimension of urban design, of a number of places in a city by TOPSIS method. TOPSIS method is technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. TOPSIS is one of the renowned methods for classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems that defines the positive ideal solution and negative ideal solution...

This paper processes a unification of Fuzzy TOPSIS and Data Envelopment Analysis DEA to select the units with most efficiency. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the organizational alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. First, the alternative evaluation problem is formulated byData Envelopment Analysis DEA and separately formulates each pair...

As the education fees are becoming more expensive, more students apply for scholarships. Consequently, hundreds and even thousands of applications need to be handled by the sponsor. To solve the problems, some alternatives based on several attributes (criteria) need to be selected. In order to make a decision on such fuzzy problems, Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (FMDAM) can be applie...

strategic performance evaluation of an organization within the industry environment is one of the basic and most important prerequisites of organizational improvement plans. in today’s knowledge-based economy and dynamic environment, it is essential for universities as the centers of education, knowledge creation and knowledge worker evolvement. till now, variant models with different approache...

In view of multi-attribute decision-making problems with interval numbers in social economy and engineering system, this paper defines and analyzes the basic operational rule, normalized method, sequence comparison strategy, and the calculating formula for the distance of interval numbers and interval number sequence. It presents weighted TOPSIS decision-making model based on interval numbers o...

introduction: health services currently support physical and mental health of individuals and are a prerequisite for sustainable development in every community. however, such benefits cannot be gained unless balanced distribution of health and treatment facilities and equipments among various geographical regions is ensured. this study assessed the status of development and rankings of iranian ...

A powerful tool for dealing with ambiguity, attributive values, fuzziness, and inconsistency is the cubic intuitionistic fuzzy soft set. In this paper, multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) technique called extended TOPSIS based on distance similarity measures presented. Furthermore, a real-world problem resolved by applying CIFS-set to support theoretical visualization. Arguably, propos...

The interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic variables can easily express the indeterminate and inconsistent information in real world, and TOPSIS is a very effective decision making method more and more extensive applications. In this paper, we will extend the TOPSIS method to deal with the interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic information, and propose an extended TOPSIS method to solve...
