Research on Civil Aviation Airport Site Selection Considering Group Consensus Level Under Large-Scale Uncertain Information by Rui Wang, Jing-Han Zeng, Jing-Yang Huang, Rui Kang, Jiang Yuan, Qing-Wei Zhong

“…The method comprises five key processes: (1) Evaluation process: Based on the constructed multicriteria evaluation system for airport site selection, the q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy (q-ROF) information is employed to represent evaluations from large-scale decision makers, which effectively characterizes the uncertainty of information and broadens the evaluative scope. (2) Clustering process: A clustering procedure is designed for large-scale q-ROF evaluation data and weight information of criteria, identifying and removing outliers. (3) Consensus reaching process: Considering the characteristics of q-ROF evaluations and multiplicative preference relations, two adaptive consensus reaching algorithms are developed to enhance group consensus levels, thereby improving the rationality of decision-making results. (4) Weight determination process: Criteria and subcriteria weights are calculated using multiplicative preference weighting approach and a deviation maximization model, respectively, derived from aggregated group evaluations. (5) Ranking process: The q-ROF Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is applied, in conjunction with the induced q-ROF information integration paradigm, to comprehensively rank the alternative sites. …”
