Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2018, the Paris agreement set the goal for countries around the world to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, the recent pandemic had a significant effect on economic and social balancing all over the world. Therefore, sustainability has become the most concerning factor throughout the globe. Consequently, there is a dire need to develop an efficient decision-making model with sustainability implementation for supporting governments in getting over the sustainable crisis in various sectors, such as logistics, hospitality, tourism, business, construction, etc.
Due to certain uncontrollable and inevitable factors, information regarding decision systems is often imprecise. Accordingly, several studies have focused on handling uncertainties in decision systems. Fuzzy sets, developed by L. A. Zadeh in 1965, have been widely applied in various decision-making fields. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased ambiguousness in decisions regarding data. As a result, traditional uncertainties are inadequate to solve the issues arising in complex decision-making problems.
Hence, for this Special Issue, we are pleased to invite you to submit papers regarding the advancement and extension of fuzzy set theory that can handle uncertain, ambiguous, and noisy information in various sustainable decision-making problems. In addition to the above, this Special Issue aims to gather recent advances in the use of fuzzy decision system for sustainable decision making.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include but are not limited to the following:
- Continuous and discrete fuzzy set theory in decision making;
- Sustainable transport management;
- Sustainable hospitality and tourism management;
- Advanced multicriteria decision making;
- Advanced aggregation operators and their application in decision making;
- Consensus model in sustainable decision making;
- Sustainable waste management;
- Sustainable water resource management;
- Extended fuzzy sets in decision making.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
