Türkiye için en iyi EEEA yönetim senaryosunun belirlenmesine yönelik bulanik çok ölçütlü bir analiz

The production of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is one of the fastest growing global manufacturing activities. This development has resulted in an increase of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Rapid economic growth, coupled with urbanization and growing demand for consumer goods, has increased both the consumption of EEE and the production of WEEE, which can be a source of hazardous wastes that pose a risk to the environment and to sustainable economic growth.To address potential environmental problems that could stem from improper management of WEEE, many countries and organizations have drafted national legislation to improve the reuse, recycling and other forms of material recovery from WEEE to reduce the amount and types of materials disposed in landfills. The recovery of WEEE is also important in Turkey, which is on the edge of European Community.WEEE constitutes one of the most complicated solid waste streams in terms of its composition, and, as a result, it is difficult to be effectively managed. The selection of a technologically reliable, environmentally friendly, economically affordable and socially acceptable management scenario for WEEE is a significant question. The use of multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods in WEEE management has the advantage of rendering subjective and implicit decision making more objective and transparent.The purpose of this study is to select the best WEEE management scenario using a MADM method. Due to the uncertainty of information and the vagueness of human feeling and recognition, it is difficult to provide exact numerical values for the criteria and to make evaluations which exactly convey the feeling and recognition of objects for decision makers. Therefore, most of the selection parameters cannot be given precisely. For this reason, in this study, the usage of the fuzzy version of ANP is proposed to make a multiple attribute selection among WEEE management scenarios for Turkey.
