| description | Identifying appropriate project delivery systems for wastewater treatment plants (PDSWTPs) plays an important role for wastewater industry decision makers. This study aims to develop a PDSWTP selection model to deal with the related-indicators case by combining the advantages of Pythagorean fuzzy sets and Bonferroni mean operators. The works of this study are as follows: 1) the case with related indicators is innovatively considered as specific to the water industry, and Bonferroni mean operator and Pythagorean fuzzy sets are introduced to PDSWTP selection, which can handle complexity and fuzziness for the actual application. 2) Pythagorean fuzzy weighted Bonferroni mean (PFWBM) and Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometry Bonferroni mean (PFWGBM) operators are used to aggregate all related indicators in PDSWTP selection, and taking full advantage of PFWBM and PFWGBM operators, a selection framework for PDSWTPs is constructed. 3) To show the robustness, the PDSWTP selection results were given with different parameters in the proposed operators. Finally, a practice example is created, and the results shown are effective and applicable. |
