Performance Evaluation of Turkish Ports: Integrated Fuzzy Entropy- Fuzzy MARCOS Analysis by Özlem Karadağ Albayrak

“…This method can provide a more accurate evaluation of the performance level of ports and its use in the planning and effective use of port investments.Originality: This research fills the gap in the literature in three ways: (1) Evaluatee the application of triangular fuzzy numbers to the panel data, which will provide effective inferences about the performanse level of the selected ports, (2) Evaluated a weighting approach using Entropy method that takes into account the distances of triangular fuzzy numbers consisting of real numbers instead of linguistic expressions, (3) An Entropy-based MARCOS method is proposed for solving the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem involving the performanse analysis of Turkish ports.…”
