Abstract
The extensions of ordinary fuzzy sets such as intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS), Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFS), and neutrosophic sets (NS), whose membership functions are based on three dimensions, aim at collecting experts’ judgments more informatively and explicitly. In the literature, generalized three-dimensional spherical fuzzy sets have been developed by Kutlu Gündoğdu and Kahraman [1], including their arithmetic operations, aggregation operators, and defuzzfication operations. Spherical Fuzzy Sets (SFS) are a new extension of Intuitionistic, Pythagorean and Neutrosophic Fuzzy sets. In this paper, our aim is to employ SF-VIKOR method to waste management problems. We handle a waste disposal site selection problem with five alternatives and four criteria in order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed SF-VIKOR method.
