Selection of Turkish agricultural strategy with fuzzy AHP methodology

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a model for selection agricultural strategy for Turkey by using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process based on linguistic terms. Fuzzy AHP based methodology will be discussed to tackle the different decision criteria such as risk factors, ecological structure, socio-economic structure, and technological structure involved in the selection of agricultural strategy for Turkey. The linguistic level of comparisons produced by the experts for each comparison are tapped in the form triangular fuzzy numbers to construct fuzzy pair-wise comparison matrices. The implementation of the system is demonstrated by a problem having four stages of hierarchy which contains four criteria and fifteen attributes.
