Fuzzy ANP Approach for New Application: Greenhouse Location Selection; a Case in Iran

Selection of the most appropriate location for investor is an important problem which requires assessment and analysis of several factors. The greenhouse locating has become one of the most important problems for investors; it is a complicated problem and a decision under a variety of factors. The selection of a location among alternative locations is a multi-criteria decision-making problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this paper, we describe the research and development of hybrid FMCDM methods for greenhouse locating in Iran. Analytic network process gave us a flexibly structure for greenhouse locating, this structure found the relative weights of criteria and ranked the alternatives too.
