A method for environmental evaluation based on type-2 fuzzy sets and aBL-algebra defined therein is illustrated. Every environmental indicator (security, facilities, environment, social impact, etc.) is a type-2 fuzzy set. Thisapproach has been utilized both to rank the quality of life in Italian cities and then the environmental quality of four sites for a domestic airport near Reykjavik. As regards the quality of lifethis approach produces results similar to those obtained by statistical methods but one gets a linguistic classification of cities and not a numerical one. Also as regards the sites for the airport, the results are similar but the linguistic expressivity is greatly enhanced

Abstract
A method for environmental evaluation based on type-2 fuzzy sets and aBL-algebra defined therein is illustrated. Every environmental indicator (security, facilities, environment, social impact, etc.) is a type-2 fuzzy set. Thisapproach has been utilized both to rank the quality of life in Italian cities and then the environmental quality of four sites for a domestic airport near Reykjavik. As regards the quality of lifethis approach produces results similar to those obtained by statistical methods but one gets a linguistic classification of cities and not a numerical one. Also as regards the sites for the airport, the results are similar but the linguistic expressivity is greatly enhancedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
