Using Fuzzy Method for Decision Making in Local Government

Decisions made by local governments must be achieved in a way that is consistent with the local government principles. These principles consist of four points : transparent and effective processes, sustainable development and management of assets and infrastructure, democratic representation and good governance. As it's known, a successful decision making is a crucial task because it depends on many factors and circumstances. Because of the current evaluation process is subject to various degrees of opinions and preferences, ranking and prioritization are difficult as a result of uncertainty inherent and fuzzy environment. We propose using a fuzzy decision scheme to provide evaluation degrees with more precision. This paper is to apply the above four principles using a new method for obtaining an effective and successful decision. Firstly, a questionnaire with several factors is going to be distributed and collected from decision makers. Then, Fuzzy LinPreRa method is used to evaluate the importance of these alternatives. The proposed algorithm yields decision matrices for making pair-wise comparisons. Only n-1 comparison judgments (decision makers) are required to ensure consistency on a level that contains n alternatives. The evaluation can provide important information for stakeholders to make a consistent and successful decision.
