The idea of neighborhood systems is induced from the geometric idea of “near,” and it is primitive in the topological structures. Now, the idea of neighborhood systems has been extensively applied in rough set theory. The master contribution of this manuscript is to generate various topologies by means of the concepts of j -adhesion neighborhoods and ideals. Then, we define a new rough set model derived from these topologies and discussed main features. We show that these topologies are finer than those given in the previous ones under arbitrary binary relations. In addition, we elucidate that these topologies are finer than those topologies initiated based on different neighborhoods and ideals under reflexive relations. Several examples are provided to validate that our model is better than the previous ones.

<abstract> <p>The essential aim of the current work is to enhance the application aspects of Pawlak rough sets. Using the notion of a <italic>j</italic>-neighborhood space and the related concept of <italic>θβ</italic>-open sets, different methods for generalizing Pawlak rough sets are proposed and their characteristics will be examined. Moreover, in the context of ideal notion, novel generalizations of Pawlak's models and some of their generalizations are presented. Comparisons between the suggested methods and the previous approximations are calculated. Finally, an application from real-life problems is proposed to explain the importance of our decision-making methods.</p> </abstract>
