Toplu Taşımacılıkta Müşteri Memnuniyetini Geliştirmek için Aralıklı Tip-2 Bulanık Yöntemini Temel Alan Bütünleşik Bir TOPSIS, GRA ve VIKOR

Öz

Son zamanlarda, aralıklı tip-2 yöntemleri ile çok kriterli karar verme problemleri hem araştırmacıların hem de uygulayıcıların dikkatini çekmiştir. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul’daki tüm taşıma modlarında (metro, otobüs ve metrobüs) müşteri memnuniyetinin değerlendirilmesi için bir aralıklı tip-2 bulanık TOPSIS ve GRA tabanlı VIKOR yöntemi önerilmiştir. Buna ek olarak, problemi çözmek için aralıklı tip-2 bulanık TOPSIS yöntemi de kullanılmaktadır. Toplu taşıma kullanıcılarının hizmet memnuniyetini etkileyen faktörleri araştırmak için bir online (çevrimiçi) anket yürütülmüştür. Veriler, İstanbul’da toplu taşıma kullanıcısı olan 323 kişiden toplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, toplu taşımada müşteri memnuniyetinin değerlendirilmesi için bir aralıklı tip-2 bulanık çok kiriterli karar verme yöntemi önerilmiştir. Çeşitli çok kiriterli karar verme yöntemlerinin performansları, önerilen ve aralıklı tip-2 bulanık TOPSIS yöntemlerinin etkinliğini ve esnekliğini keşfetmek amacıyla birbiriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, önerilen yöntemin değerlendirme problemleri ve diğer MCDM problemleri için güvenilir ve pratik olduğunu göstermektedir.
