Description
Summary:Summer sport schools have been gaining animportance especially for the children attending to primary or secondaryschools in summer seasons. By these summer schools, the children can both haveentertainment and learn new things. Due to the increasing demands for them, thenumber of summer sport schools has increased. Hence, selecting the best summerschool has become a decision making problem. Therefore, in this paper, ananalytical solution was proposed for this new problem. In the proposedapproach, Hesitant Fuzzy AHP (HF-AHP), which is frequently used in literature inrecent times, was used as integrated with TOPSIS. In the case study part ofthis proposed model, the importance weights of 4 main and 15 sub-criteria weredetermined via HF-AHP. The best summer sport school was selected among the 3alternatives by using TOPSIS method. Furthermore, by performing sensitivityanalysis, the effects of changes in criteria weights on the decision wereinvestigated.
