Public Decision Making Using Fuzzy Logic1
Infrastructure is the keystone to urban development. Without access to infrastructure and other public services, land has little potential for residential, commercial or industrial use. Governments have the responsibility of providing public infrastructure and services, but the rapid expansion of cities is making this more problematical, especially in developing countries. Innovative solutions to this problem are being sought, but these introduce a multiplicity of objectives that have to be met, and traditional methods of making decisions about the best way to proceed may no longer be adequate. In this article we devise and evaluate a public-decision-making process based on fuzzy logic. The process was tested on the problem of providing hospitals in both developed and developing countries, but can be applied in other situations.
