Abstract :
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. This study aims at prioritize indicators and sub-indicators that effective in greenhouse locating. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is applied to formulate and prioritize the indicators and sub-indicators, most of the indicators are basically qualitative. Using fuzzy set theory we incorporate qualitative and partially known information into the decision model. A fuzzy approach is integrated with AHP method to make up the vagueness about the degree of importance of decision-makers on judgment.
