“…The minimal weight difference criteria are SV7, PEU1, PEU5, PEU7, PEU10, PTU7, PTU9 and DR4. These results are consistent with studies Dede, 2023a-2023b;Dede and Zorlu, 2023;Zorlu et al, 2023) stating that the criteria used in geosite evaluations should be weighted according to the location and conditions of geosites.…”

“…MCDM, a helpful approach to choosing the most suitable alternatives with more than one criterion, has been very popular recently and has wide application areas. However, studies using MCDM techniques in geosite assessment studies are limited (Datta, 2020;Dede and Zorlu, 2023;Jia et al, 2022;Mandal & Chakrabarty, 2021;Zorlu and Dede, 2023). For example, Zorlu and Dede (2023) stated that MCDM approaches would provide researchers with an essential insight into this subject area in their study in which they evaluated the geoheritage potentials of glacial landforms in the Yalnızçam Mountains (Turkey) using fuzzy SWARA-based EDAS methods.…”

This study aims to propose an MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model) framework for evaluating seven geosites selected from Gümüşhane (Türkiye). For this purpose, seven geosites to be assessed according to the geosite evaluation criterion introduced by Brilha (2016) were analysed with MEREC-based TOPSIS and EDAS techniques, which are MCDM approaches. According to the results, the most important criteria in the field have been representativeness (SV1), safety (PEU4 and PTU4), and legal protection (DR3). Besides the most important geosites were Karaca Cave and Tomara Waterfall. It is thought that the methodology proposed in the study and the findings obtained will provide a theoretical basis for the subject literature. It is also believed that the results may provide insight into developing practical implications for local stakeholders regarding planning and management.

“…Advanced decision-making methods, including Fermatean fuzzy aggregation operators [67] and Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher aggregation operators [68], have been highlighted along with their applications and contributions to various fields, including the FMEA-QFD for risk assessment in distribution processes [69]. Dede and Zorlu [70] evaluated geoheritage by employing the entropy-based WASPAS model. They specifically focused on the Karcal Mountains, which are located in Turkey.…”

This study explores the complexities of urban planning and addresses major issues by carefully weighing four options for smart city technology, community-based development, green infrastructure investment, and transit-oriented development. Unlike traditional evaluations, our study applies the novel SWARA-WASPAS model to spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs), thus identifying and navigating the uncertainty present in decision making. This methodological approach improves the accuracy of our assessment by providing detailed information about the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Our study offers useful insights for urban policymakers and planners using carefully weighted criteria and employing a methodical ranking procedure. The aim is to provide insights for decisions that promote equity, environmental consciousness, resilience, and symmetry in urban environments. The application of the SWARA-WASPAS approach not only advances the field but also provides a strong basis for informed decision making. This improves the accuracy of our evaluations and provides detailed insights into each option’s pros and cons. Our study uses weighted criteria and systematic ranking to advise urban policymakers and planners. Our main goal is to help urban populations make resilient, environmentally responsible, equitable, and symmetrical decisions. Our research aims to further the conversation on sustainable urban development by offering a framework based on data that addresses the difficulties associated with dynamic urban environments. In the end, we want our humanized viewpoint to speak to a wider audience and inspire a shared dedication to creating cities that flourish in the face of changing urban environments.

“…Recently, Dede and Zorlu [35] employed the entropy-based WASPAS approach to conduct a geoheritage assessment of the Karcal Mountains. While the method introduced by Dede and Zorlu [35] effectively determines the priority values of geological sites, enhancing the accuracy of decision-making results, this method cannot handle fuzzy and incomplete expert-provided information. In response to the limitations of traditional Internet platform selection approaches, this study combined the FAHP approach and the WASPAS approach to handle Internet platform selection problems within an incomplete information environment.…”

With the advancement of information technology, the Internet is pivotal in today’s society, serving as a global connectivity platform. Leveraging Internet technology within an enterprise can improve operational efficiency and curtail costs. However, traditional Internet platform selection methods cannot simultaneously handle quantitative and qualitative information, fuzzy semantics, and incomplete expert-provided information. To address these limitations, this study integrated the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) approaches to tackle Internet platform selection problems within an incomplete information environment. To demonstrate the validity of this research approach, this study utilized a construction industry Internet platform selection case to confirm the efficacy of the proposed novel fuzzy analytic hierarchy process-based method. Comparative analysis against the weighted sum model (WSM), weighted product model (WPM), FAHP, and typical WASPAS approaches was conducted with numerical verification, revealing that the proposed method in this study effectively manages comprehensive information and yields more rational outcomes for construction industry Internet platforms.
