Analysis of Priority Scale for Watershed Reforestation Using Trapezoidal Fuzzy VIKOR Method: A Case Study in Semarang, Central Java Indonesia

Abstract

Recently, resolving a problem based on multi-criteria decision-making systems has become an attractive method. One of recent techniques is trapezoidal fuzzy VIKOR method which was used for selecting the best option among criteria. This research is aimed to utilize the VIKOR method in prioritization of watershed reforestation in Semarang City, Indonesia. Several criteria have been set for the prioritization of reforestation areas to select watersheds as reforestation targets. In this case, the six criteria and six alternatives were used in order to determine the best priority of reforestation. The result showed that VIKOR method was successfully applied to determine the best option and Kali Garang watershed was the top priority as it has the highest rank and it meets reforestation criteria compared with other watersheds criteria.
