Municipal Solid Waste Management Alternatives for El Hajeb Province

35 waste management alternatives for El Hajeb, Morocco, are evaluated across 20 criteria using Spherical Fuzzy Sets. The dataset includes a full decision matrix, expert comparison vectors, and Python code for a Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 runs. It was created by Hafid EL KARIMI to support a 2026 academic article on optimizing waste systems.

Use Cases

• Reproduce the SFS-ENF²–ELECTRE III–Net Flow ranking of the 35 alternatives using the provided spherical fuzzy triplets (μ, ν, π) and Python engine.
• Analyze the stability of rankings by running the included Monte Carlo simulation (N=10,000) with perturbed weight vectors (Δw=±10%).
• Benchmark the SFS-ENF² method against PROMETHEE II SFS, TOPSIS SFS, and ELECTRE III TFN using the ceteris paribus protocol script.
• Expertise the BWM comparison vectors and consistency ratios (CRₖ < 0.10) from five experts to understand the hybrid BWM–CRITIC weighting (α=0.60).
• Investigate the impact of the λ parameter on model outcomes using the provided grid search results over λ ∈ [0.10; 0.40].

Strengths

• Includes a complete 35 alternatives × 20 criteria decision matrix with spherical fuzzy triplets and derived crisp scores.
• Provides full reproducibility with raw Monte Carlo outputs (10,000 Kendall τ values, 10,000 net flow values) and all Python source code.
• Documents rigorous validation with expert consistency ratios all below 0.10 and a benchmark against three other MCDA methods.

Limitations

• Small dataset scale (1.9 MB); the 35 alternatives represent a specific case study, limiting generalizability.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single province (El Hajeb, Morocco), which may not be representative of other regions.
• Temporal coverage and update frequency are not specified, making the data potentially static.
