Fuzzy Logic and its Application to Environmental Impact Assessment

In recent decades, human activities have resulted in a lot of environmental impacts. Besides, lack of public knowledge about the surrounding environment and the negative environmental impacts have caused deeper and more significant impacts. Therefore, we need stronger and more proper tools for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) while the environmental impacts are increasing. Usually, huge amount of heterogeneous information are involved in the EIA process which the traditional methods are unable to handle it adequately. As the EIA is one of the suitable approaches to sustainable development and environmental management, so, adoption of a proper method for its application is vital. In this paper, we described the application of FUZZY Logic in EIA. This approach is able to support and handle the quantitative and qualitative data as well as helping practitioners for decision making.
