“…Besides, Coban et al ( 2018 ) explored the SW disposal solutions through TOPSIS and PROMETTHE. Moreover, other studies have used AHP to evaluate SW, such as medical waste (Aung et al 2019 ), floods' waste (Phonphoton and Pharino 2019 ), and municipal SW (Badi et al 2019 ). Most of these studies lack the treatment of uncertainty due to human judgments.…”

The emerging and underdeveloped countries in Africa face numerous difficulties managing infectious waste during the SARS-CoV-2 disease, known as the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the main aim of this paper is to help decision-makers in African countries to select the best available waste management strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present research undertakes seamless assessment and prioritization of infectious solid waste (SW) and wastewater (WW) treatment technologies based on a criteria system involving four dimensions, i.e., environment-safety, technology, economics, and sociopolitics. A combined approach that integrates the results of life-cycle assessments and life-cycle costs (LCA–LCC), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and VIKOR method in an interval-valued fuzzy (IVF) environment is proposed. The results reveal that combined incineration and chemical disinfection approach, and combined chlorination and ultraviolet irradiation are the most sustainable technologies for managing infectious SW and WW treatment in the present context. The proposed approach, alongside the findings of the study, constitutes a reference to devise urgent planning for contagious waste management in African countries as well as developing countries worldwide.

Analyzing Renewable Energy Sources of a Developing Country for Sustainable Development: An Integrated Fuzzy Based-Decision Methodology

et al. 2020

Global human pollutant activities have raised greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which have directly affected the climate. Fossil fuel-based energy has brought a negative impact on the environment and is considered one of the largest sources of GHG emissions. It is envisaged that GHG emissions will increase in the future due to rapid population growth and industrialization. Thus, it is imperative to mitigate climate variability and reduce GHGs by adopting renewable energy (RE) sources for electricity generation. In this regard, the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) process would serve the purpose of framing out energy policy to analyze these environmentally friendly energy sources. This study uses an integrated decision methodology—a combination of Delphi, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), and the fuzzy weighted aggregated sum product assessment (FWASPAS)—for the adoption of RE sources for electricity generation in Turkey. Initially, the study identified five main criteria and seventeen sub-criteria using the Delphi method. Then, the FAHP method was used to evaluate and rank the main criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, the FWASPAS method was used to assess and prioritize five major RE sources for electricity generation. The FAHP analysis indicated that political criteria are the most influential, followed by economic and technical criteria. Further, the FWASPAS method revealed that wind energy is the most significant option for electricity generation. This decision-making process can help the energy planners to utilize RE sources for sustainable development.

For example, Phonphoton and Pharino (2019) identified optimal practical approaches by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in terms of municipal solid disposal management services.

The inadequate reuse and recycle of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) has been identified as a major issue, as it implies the depletion of natural aggregates, massive occupation of landfill and inefficiency of construction industry. However, a holistic view involving economic, technical and comprehensive dimensions has rarely been adopted for C&DW utilization evaluation against both qualitative and quantitative criteria. In this study, we propose a framework in a heterogeneous group decision-making environment to solve the C&DW utilization mode selection problem by integrating the Choquet integral and the elimination and choice translating reality (ELECTRE) method with two data forms, that is, interval-valued hesitant fuzzy numbers and real numbers. Firstly, an evaluation index system is constructed to assess multiple representative C&DW utilization modes in Xi’an, China. Secondly, a novel method is proposed to apply the Choquet integral for aggregation of evaluation values and fuzzy ELECTRE for outranking of C&DW utilization modes after the heterogenous evaluation data are unified into interval numbers. Thirdly, to illustrate the application of the proposed framework, this paper evaluates four typical C&DW utilization modes based on a case study in Xi’an, China, and the result shows that the most preferable mode is A3 (off-site crushing, roadbed backfilling). Finally, a comparative analysis is conducted to verify the effectiveness of this framework. This study presents useful findings to C&DW practitioners and can help avoid intuitive selection among available C&DW utilization modes.
