An Intuitionistic Fuzzy-based MCDM Approach For Location Selection Of Pilot Area For Green Roof Systems In Igdir Province, Turkey

Abstract

Green roof systems have been placed as the key to facilitating to mitigate the effects of climate change and weather effects on urban environmental conditions. Green roof systems are defined as sustainable systems due to fact that these systems improve building envelope performance along with many advantages such as improvement on air quality, reduction on carbon emission and mitigation of urban heat island. In addition, Igdir is one of the provinces with the highest carbon emission-environmental pollution in Turkey. Hence, green roof system infrastructure is critical to mitigating effects of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse" gases in Igdir. In this study, an intuitionistic fuzzy-based multi-criteria decision making approach is proposed to evaluate 5 neighborhoods that have been selected according to population density to find out a pilot area for installation. Three main; economical, environmental and social, and 12 their corresponding sub-criteria are used and the results indicate that the approach indeed found out that Baglar neighbourhood is the best area as a pilot to build up a green roof system.
