TI  - Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Decision Making Approach for Stroller Selection
AB  - Having a baby brings new changes and challenges in parents’ life. There is a list of things which are required in order to provide a comfortable life for the baby. Since most of the people have limited economic resources, determination of the things to be bought becomes an important decision for parents. Moreover, the number of alternatives for the items in shopping list (bed, clothes, feeding equipment, stroller, etc.) is very much. Therefore, making a choice among alternative items is necessary. For each item, different alternatives have several advantages over another in views of different aspects. Consideration of several aspects of items would lead to good decisions, and parents must evaluate things in this way. It is aimed in this research to develop an analytic decision-making approach for stroller selection decision of parents. Hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms set (HFLTS) approach was presented in order to model the uncertain situations that the decision makers feel hesitant over various values of a linguistic variable. By using this pattern, elicitation of linguistic information is improved and thoughts of decision makers are represented better in decision models. Under the consideration of hesitant feelings of parents, HFLTS based group decision making approach is utilized to determine the optimum stroller. Apracticeof the presented model is presented to indicate its applicability and the presented decision approach seems useful for stroller selection.
