Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Abstract
Special economic zones (SEZs) are essential if a developing country is to boost economic growth. The selection of an SEZ site might be viewed as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) difficulty because of the many conflicting aspects connected to different locations. This work presents a flexible neutrosophic MCDM approach for optimal SEZ site search. The single-valued neutrosophic sets transform the qualitative evaluation of the criteria for SEZ alternatives into a quantitative evaluation. The method based on removal effect on criteria (MEREC) approach is improved in a neutrosophic environment to ascertain the relevance of every characteristic of SEZ alternatives. We suggested a three-tuple neutrosophic combined compromised solution (N-CoCoSo) to evaluate the choice of expert to solve the SEZ site ranking problem. According to the planned N-CoCoSo, coastal forest regions are the worst location for SEZ sites; agricultural land near coastal areas is ideal. The sensitivity and comparability study helps establish the suggested method’s consistency and resilience.
