Abstract

Fuzzy-based Solid Waste Management involves the application of fuzzy set theory to formulate a solid waste management algorithm by taking into account a large criterion set and an extensive number of alternatives for various levels of uncertainty in Solid Waste Management. Fuzzy method of solid waste management allows consideration of multicriteria to better manage the inherent uncertainties. The fuzzy-based approach involve determination of solid waste management alternatives, selection of basic criteria, assignment of linguistic variables, construction of membership functions, assignment of membership degree values to each criterion, determination of the best criteria combination for alternatives and the choice of the best alternative. The result shows that alternative 2 has highest degree of membership function to the decision function and therefore is the chosen option.
