Abstract

The success of sustainable management of the heritage building in an intelligent city is a difficult multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) issue including the coexistence of conflicting elements. There is an issue with incomplete decision information utilization and information loss throughout the decision-making process, and the interaction difficulty in a fuzzy environment is easy to miss. This paper provides a hybrid MCDM framework that combines the spherical fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (SF-AHP). The SF-AHP is used to assess the significance levels of building heritage. To use the stage MCDM model, a thorough set of assessment criteria based on the notion of sustainable development has been identified via literature research and expert interviews. To assess the efficacy of the suggested strategy, an application is done in this paper. Using the decision framework, the building heritage in intelligent cities has been identified. The suggested technique may be utilized to achieve management of the building heritage in intelligent cities.
