Özet

Due diligence of rangelands, which are among the renewable energy sources, is very important for improvement projects. In this study, it is proposed to use fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods as a supportive statistical approach in examining rangeland conditions. Among these methods, fuzzy AHP, TOPSIS and VIKOR are explained. Vegetation data of a rangeland condition determination project were examined by these methods. According to the results, the fuzzy MCDM methods provide effective support in determining the rangeland conditions numerically. For this reason, it is recommended to be used in similar studies.
