Exploring ways to determine an alternative strategic road network in a metropolitan city: A multi-criteria analysis approach

A Novel T-Spherical Fuzzy REGIME Method for Managing Multiple-Criteria Choice Analysis Under Uncertain Circumstances

“…The REGIME method, incipiently propounded by Hinloopen et al (1983aHinloopen et al ( , 1983b, is a well-established technique concerning multiple-criteria choice analysis, especially for qualitative information (Alinezhad and Khalili, 2019;Oztaysi et al, 2021;Tsigdinos and Vlastos, 2021). Based on an efficient and convenient-to-use approach of paired comparisons for choice options, the REGIME method manipulates qualitative information (such as ordinal data) in a mathematically reasonable way (Oztaysi et al, 2022).…”

“…The characteristic of the classical REGIME framework is the formation of a REGIME matrix that collects outcomes about paired comparisons of choice options in an impact matrix (Esangbedo et al, 2021). Herein, the impact matrix elucidates the effect measurements of choice options on an amalgamation of quantitative and qualitative judgment criteria manifested in ordinal values (Alinezhad and Khalili, 2019;Tsigdinos and Vlastos, 2021). REGIME can conclusively generate a complete list of ranking for choice options via comparing the pairs with selected judgment criteria (Esangbedo et al, 2021;Kamran et al, 2017).…”

“…Especially, utilizing the REGIME method can generate undisputed consequences, so the dominant choice will be identified for the most cases (Hinloopen and Nijkamp, 1990;Wątróbski et al, 2019). Over and above that, the REGIME method has been proved as an efficacious technique to resolve various evaluation and decision-making affairs (Frank, 2014;Oztaysi et al, 2021;Tsigdinos and Vlastos, 2021). For these reasons, this research makes an effort at choosing the REGIME as the basic framework for extending to T-SF decision environments and conducting specialized decision-making tasks.…”

“…The REGIME has been smoothly exploited in the treatment of multiple-criteria evaluation problems (Hinloopen and Nijkamp, 1990), such as assessment and prioritization of coastal areas (Hinloopen et al, 1983b), regional sustainable resource policy (Akgün et al, 2012), assessment of alternative wind park locations (Stratigea and Grammatikogiannis, 2012), environmental management on wastewater from agriculture (Massei et al, 2014), economic-ecological sustainability for rural development (Akgün et al, 2015), sawability related to ornamental and building stones (Kamran et al, 2017), and strategic road network of a metropolitan region (Tsigdinos and Vlastos, 2021). On the flip-side, the REGIME framework has been generalized to fuzzy environments, such as the directly extended REGIME methods involving Pythagorean fuzziness (Oztaysi et al, 2021) and spherical fuzziness (Oztaysi et al, 2022).…”

Multiple criteria choice modeling using the grounds of T‐spherical fuzzy REGIME analysis

“…The REGIME analysis allows the management of hybrid quantifiable and qualitative information without a request for transforming qualitative data into reckonable values, 6 which is why it has been extensively used to rank alternative choice options in real decisions 4,7 . The REGIME methodology has been successfully employed in the study sphere of multiple criteria choice analysis, including evaluation of substitute wind park locations, 8 selection of facility locations for distribution centers, 9 supply chain performance measurement in meat packing industry, 10 normative decision theory in biodiversity and conservation biology, 5 environmental management on agricultural wastewater issues, 11 facility location selection problem, 12 appraisal of economic‐ecological sustainability for rural development policies, 13 sawability in connection with ornamental and building stones, 6 multiple criteria analysis of the sustainable model for an agro‐food sector, 4 vendor evaluation for a human resource information system, 3 and assessment of strategic road networks in a metropolitan region 14 . These previous advancements and applications in handling qualitative discrete choice analysis and the merits of the multiple criteria assessments have illustrate the potential usefulness of the REGIME‐based methodology.…”
