Flood hazard assessment and zonal prioritization through an LR-bipolar triangular fuzzy hybrid decision-making approach
Felix Augustin
IntroductionFlood risk assessment has become increasingly important in regions vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. This study addresses the need for a robust decision-support framework by proposing a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to prioritize flood-prone zones in the Ernakulam district of Kerala, aligning with sustainable development goals focused on climate resilience.MethodsThe proposed approach employs LR-bipolar triangular fuzzy numbers (LRBTFNs) to effectively cap
