Abstract

The aim of this study is to measure the degree of effect of the global warming for cities of Turkey. The results of the global warming such as drought, temperature changes and rainfall changes are considered as criteria and the evaluation of the degree of effect of the global warming of the cities of Turkey is handled as a multi criteria decision making problem. A hybrid method considering fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy measure theory is proposed to determine the corresponding degree of effect. Finally, considering real data, the map of effect with respect to the cities is presented.

Keywords

Global warming, multi criteria decision making; fuzzy measure; Choquet integral.
