The paper addresses the problem of complex socio-economic phenomena assessment using questionnaire surveys. The data are represented on an ordinal scale; the object assessments may contain positive, negative, no answers, a “difficult to say” or “no opinion” answers. The general framework for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Synthetic Measure (IFSM) based on distances to the pattern object (ideal solution) is used to analyze the survey data. First, Euclidean and Hamming distances are applied in the procedure. Second, two pattern object constructions are proposed in the procedure: one based on maximum values from the survey data, and the second on maximum intuitionistic values. Third, the method for criteria comparison with the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Synthetic Measure is presented. Finally, a case study solving the problem of rank-ordering of the cities in terms of satisfaction from local public administration obtained using different variants of the proposed method is discussed. Additionally, the comparative analysis results using the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Synthetic Measure and the Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS (IFT) framework are presented.

In the assessment of most complex socioeconomic phenomena with the use of multicriteria methods, continuous data are used, the source of which are most often public statistics. However, there are complex phenomena such as quality of life and quality of services in the assessment, for which questionnaire surveys and ordinal measurement scales are used. In this case, the use of classic multicriteria methods is very difficult, taking into account the way of presenting this type of data by official statistics, as well as their permissible transformations and arithmetic operations. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was the presentation of a novel framework which can be applied for assessing socioeconomic phenomena on the basis of survey data. It was assumed that the object assessments may contain positive or negative opinions and an element of uncertainty expressed in the form a “no”, “difficult to say”, or “no opinion” answers. For this reason, the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS (IF-TOPSIS) method is proposed. To demonstrate the potential of this solution, the results of measuring the subjective quality of life of the inhabitants of 83 cities in EU countries, EFTA countries, the UK, the Western Balkans, and Turkey are presented. For most cities, a high level of subjective quality of life was observed using the proposed approach. The highest level of quality of life was observed in Zurich, whereas the lowest was observed in Palermo.

Topsis Model

In this article, the effectiveness of the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS model (IF-TOPSISEF) is tested for addressing, capturing, and resolving the effect of correlation between attributes, otherwise called the dependency of attributes. This was achieved by using several normalization methods in the implementation of the IF-TOPSISEF model. Furthermore, the result of the computation is compared with the one obtained when the normalization methods are implemented using a traditional TOPSIS model. The study contributes and extends the state of the art in TOPSIS method study, by addressing, capturing and resolving the effect of correlation between attributes otherwise called dependency of attributes.

“Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set” (IFS) is used to manage nebulousness and indecision. In current investigation, another intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is proposed for decision making by utilizing entropy weight. Current model permits estimating the degree of membership and non-membership of various alternatives assessed over a criterion set. A case study has been carried out to diagnosis of vector borne disease. Criteria’s have been selected according to relevant disease and weight has been assigned to them by medical expert’s committee. It has been established that TOPSIS method can diagnose the VBD diseases using specific symptoms as criteria and VBDs as alternatives. The suggested methodology can help in correct and timely diagnosis of VBDs and provides doctors an innovative diagnostic tool (WHO, 2004; WHO, 2014). The result is validated by applying fuzzy VIKOR method.

In this study, we examined the project selection process in a mould manufacturing company. We ranked 12 criteria via Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and evaluated the most important 8 criteria. Then we applied Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS (IF-TOPSIS) method, which is the extended version of the TOPSIS method in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. After expressing the decision makers' evaluations in linguistic terms, we turned them into intuitive fuzzy numbers. In the last step, we obtained the project rankings by calculating the closeness coefficient for 5 projects.
