FUZZY MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHOD FOR DAM SELECTION

This research formulates the process of a dam selection (in the district of Chalkidiki in Northern Greece) as a multi-criteria analysis problem. The TOPSIS method (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is chosen among the several methods which are used for multi-criteria decision making. The principle of TOPSIS method is that the chosen alternative should be as close to the ideal solution as possible and at the same time as far as possible from the negative-ideal solution.
