Restoration Methods Selection for Wood Components of Chinese Ancient Architectures Based on TODIM with Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets

Abstract EN

The selection of restoration methods for ancient architectures is of great significance for the protection of human cultural heritage.

This paper proposes a novel restoration methods selection approach for wood components of Chinese ancient architectures, in which a multicriteria group decision-making (MCGDM) method with decision-making information is in the form of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SNNSs).

Firstly, it establishes an index system by comprehensively considering subjective and objective criteria.

In addition, the best-worst method (BWM) and the entropy weight method are combined to produce index weights.

Furthermore, the TODIM method is utilized by the single-valued neutrosophic sets to prioritize restoration methods.

Finally, a specific case of wood component restoration is conducted to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed model.

The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by sensitivity analysis and comparison analysis.
