Evaluating municipal solid waste disposal options by AHP-based linguistic variable weight

The increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) being generated each year poses a serious dilemma in choosing the best MSW disposal system in Malaysia. Since the decision process involves uncertainty, multiple considerations, and incom- plete datasets, a simple and e±cient method is urgently required...
