Abstract

Natural and anthropogenic processes may deteriorate the integrity of geotourism resources. Thus, one of the top concerns in developing geoconservation measures is determining how risky geosites are for degradation. Although studies have made significant contributions to the literature, they also introduce a fundamental problem of objectivity. In particular, evaluators continue to discuss the objectivity problem caused by hesitant, uncertain, and ambiguous information while evaluating geosites. This study quantifies the risk of degradation of geosites using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques integrated into fuzzy environments. For this purpose, we used multi attributive ideal-real comparative analysis (MAIRCA) methods based on spherical fuzzy environments in addition to the level based weight assessment (LBWA) technique. We tested this proposed methodology as a case study on twenty geosites selected from the Kula-Salihli UNESCO Global Geopark (KSUGGp) in Türkiye. According to the analysis, we observed significant differences between traditional geosite evaluation approaches and the proposed approach in weighting the criteria and ranking the risk levels of geosites. We expect the proposed approach to make a methodological contribution that can form the basis for the geosite evaluation literature.
地理旅游可持续发展中资源退化风险水平的测度:球形模糊环境下的多准则决策方法
自然和人为过程都可能使地质旅游资源的完整性恶化。因此,制定地质保护措施的首要问题之一是确定地质遗址的退化风险有多大。尽管这些研究对文献做出了重大贡献,但它们也引入了客观性的基本问题。特别是,评估者在评估场地时,继续讨论由犹豫、不确定和模棱两可的信息引起的客观性问题。本研究将多准则决策(MCDM)技术与模糊环境相结合,量化了土工场地的退化风险。为此,除了基于层次的权重评价(LBWA)技术外,我们还采用了基于球面模糊环境的多属性理想-真实比较分析(MAIRCA)方法。我们以 rkiye Kula-Salihli联合国教科文组织世界地质公园(KSUGGp)的20个地质遗址为例,对该方法进行了测试。通过分析,我们发现传统的土工场地评价方法与本文提出的方法在标准权重和土工场地风险等级排序方面存在显著差异。我们期望所提出的方法能够在方法学上做出贡献,为土工场地评价文献奠定基础。
