Mined land use selection using a modified version of TOPSIS method, that can handle uncertainty, by accepting inputs as D numbers

In this study evaluation criteria are designed considering sustainable development, and a modified version of the TOPSIS multi criteria decision making method is used, that accepts it’s input data in a special form known as D numbers, which is an extension of Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. A concept named super ideal solution space is introduced that seems to be of great use when deciding about land reclamation or post mining land use.
