Abstract

School is the place where students get the opportunity to accrue knowledge and quality education. Choosing a suitable location for establishing a new school is dependent on various factors like population density, socio-economic situation, environment of that place, land availability, accessibility, infrastructure etc. In this paper, our aim is to identify the optimal site for establishing a new school in Paschim Bardhaman district using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. Here, two MCDM method namely Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method is used for evaluating criteria weight and further the Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) method is applied for ranking the sites chosen as alternatives. We consider Intuitionistic fuzzy number to incorporate uncertainty in data set. Further sensitivity and comparative analysis are performed to verify the accuracy and stability of the result. Thus we obtain a framework which will be very helpful for urban planners and government policy makers to make informed decisions for educational development.
