“…TOPSIS has deemed one of the major decision making techniques. In recent years, TOPSIS has been effectively applied to the areas of human resources management [13], transportation [5], product design [14], manufacturing [15], water management [16], quality control [4], military [2], tourism [17] and location analysis [18]. In addition, the concept of TOPSIS has also been connected to multi-objective decision making and group decision making.…”

The ability in providing result that is consistent with actual ranking remains the major concern in group decision making environment. The main aim of this paper is to introduce a novel modification of TOPSIS method to facilitate multi criteria decision making problems based on the concept of Z-numbers called Z-TOPSIS. The proposed method is adequate and intuitive in giving meaningful structure for formalizing information of a decision making problem, as it takes into account the decision makers' reliability. This study also provides bridge with some established knowledge in fuzzy sets to certain extend as to strengthen the concept of ranking alternatives using Znumbers. To ensure practicality and effectiveness of proposed method, stock selection problem is studied. The ranking based on proposed method is validated comparatively using spearman rho rank correlation. Based on the analysis, the proposed method outperforms the established TOPSIS methods in term of ranking performance.

This paper explores ethno-villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina as an important element of rural and cultural tourism. The attractiveness of natural and cultural heritage is very important for sustainable rural tourism development. In order to improve the process of decision making to enable the sustainable development of ethno-villages, a multi-criteria assessment model has been developed. The methodology is based on qualitative modeling using a multi-criteria analysis via the DEXi software. The model is based on hierarchical relations consisting of three main criteria that are the basis of sustainable tourism development: economic, social, and environmental criteria. The ultimate goal of the model in this study was to evaluate ethno-villages, namely six ethno-villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of the study show how ethno-villages contribute to sustainable development.

“…There is a substantial body of literature discussing different research methods applied to evaluation and choice of tourism destination. These methods include (1) Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) [4][5][6][7]; (2) Binary Regression Model [8][9][10][11]; (3) Multinomial Probit Model [12]; (4) Scobit Based Discrete-Continuous Choice Model [13]; (5) Structural Equation Model [14][15][16][17][18][19]; (6) Meta-analysis [20]; (7) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) [21][22][23][24]; (8) Principal Component Analysis [25][26][27][28][29][30]; and (9) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Some of the methods may have already been known to the public.…”

The decision-making process of choosing an ideal tourism destination is influenced by a number of psychological and nonpsychological variables. Tourists need a method to quickly and easily select a suitable destination. Driven by this practical decision issue, a novel approach of tourist destination evaluation, grey relation analysis (GRA), is developed and applied to the ranking evaluation of Taiwan tourism destinations in China. In the evaluating process, we apply entropy to calculate the weight of each index, which is a more objective method of calculating weights. The results of the study indicate that although the same size is small and the distribution of data is unknown, GRA can still be successfully used in evaluating tourist destinations. In addition, we compare the GRA results with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and show that more accurate ranking results can be obtained.
