“…The way uncertainty is defined depending on how uncertainty is viewed [10,11]. Generally, uncertainty is associated with knowledge limitation [10,12]. In decision problem context, uncertainty can be referred to as a decision situation that is not known by the decision-maker or as an action that has not yet been decided by the decision-maker [12] or a situation when the absence of precise information occurs [13].…”

“…One is knowledge limitation regarding the situation [3,[14][15][16][17][18] such as lack of understanding of the nature of uncertainty state, limited knowledge about the past, the current, and the future situation. And the other one is knowledge limitation about the available options [12,19], such as the inability to select suitable choices, the inability to see the effects of particular choices, and the inability to rank the choices according to preferences.…”

“…Unbounded uncertainty can happen when everything is completely dark and the unknown is too deep. This type of Uncertainty is known as 'Deep uncertainty' or "Great Uncertainty" [12]. Deep Uncertainty happens 'where analysts do not know, or the parties to a decision they cannot agree on' [35].…”

Uncertainty is not a new issue in decision making. A wrong decision made of a lack of certainty is every decision maker's nightmare. Although uncertainty is broadly discussed in academic literature, uncertainty has been defined in many definitions, terms and conceptions. Some of the terms often overlap with similar terms from different perspectives. In the light of this, this paper takes the opportunity to explain uncertainty under 3 C's perspectives; the Concept, the Categories and the Coping Strategies. An overview of uncertainty concepts provides the basis for understanding how it is defined from a particular perspective related to decision support for decision making. The categories of uncertainty are explained based on their characterisation to provide a better understanding. Since there is no fixed way to treat uncertainty, this study takes the opportunity to compile the possible coping strategies in handling uncertainty. As an outcome, the contributions of this study come in two ways. First, this paper provides insights on uncertainty concepts and uncertainty categories that are worthy of being reflected in decision support for decision-making research domains. Second, this paper provides solutions and ideas for potential mix-and-match coping strategies that might be helpful in dealing with uncertainty in decision-making.
