Abstract

Humanitarian rescue has become an important part of government emergency management in China. In order to select the optimal humanitarian rescue scheme accurately and in a timely manner in an emergency, reduce the harm of disasters to human life and health, and improve the government’s emergency management ability, a multi-attribute emergency group decision-making method is proposed. First, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used to express the preferences of decision-makers, and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy entropy is used to calculate attribute weights. Then, based on the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method, the weight of the decision-maker is calculated. Then, the relevant interval intuitionistic fuzzy operators are used to summarize the preferences of decision-makers in group decision-making. Finally, we will use the closeness ranking method to choose the optimal scheme, and the feasibility and practicability of the proposed method are demonstrated by an example. The example shows that the model is more scientific, objective, and comprehensive in solving the problem of multi-attribute group decision-making than the traditional scheme selection, which only depends on the subjective discussion of decision-makers.

Highlights

  • We propose determining attribute weights based on improved interval intuitionistic fuzzy entropy and considering the membership, non-membership, and hesitation of interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets to make the obtained attribute weights closer to the true will of the decision-maker

  • This paper addresses the selection of a humanitarian rescue scheme in the emergency context

  • We propose the use of quantitative methods and models to analyze the process of a humanitarian rescue scheme and propose the use of multi-attribute group decision-making methods to solve the problem of humanitarian rescue scheme selection
