Abstract
Keywords
One of the key elements in solving environment-protection
problems is introducing the principles of the best available
technologies, which are effective in evaluating and regulating
the negative impact industrial plants have on the environ-
ment. The term “best available technologies” (BAT) are de-
fined as the production technologies, processes and services,
determined on the basis of modern science and technology,
with the best combination of criteria to achieve environmental
objectives subject to availability of technical possibilities being
taken into account. The problem of selecting the best available
technologies is based on the valuation of pollution and coun-
ter-pollution measures and the regulation of the negative
impact of industrial production on the environment. Compar-
ing alternative technological options is a complex task in
which many environmental, technological, economic and
social criteria should be taken into account. One of the main
conditions for the correct selection of tools for decision-
making on BAT is to adequately address uncertain input data.
For the correct assessment of alternative technologies inclu-
ding comparison of the levels of negative impacts on the
environment, we propose a model of multi-criteria decision
making with fuzzy parameters which is a variant of the fuzzy
multicriteria decision making methodology called TOPSIS. A
stepwise algorithm for multi-criteria decision-making is
developed that allows us to operate with uncertain, fuzzy input
data using subjective expert evaluations. The proposed me-
thod is illustrated with a real-life example which verifies and
justifies the method, and illustrates its effectiveness and ability
to provide an objective decision-making solution
