Özet

Wooden outdoor furniture is a worthwhile investment. When evaluating outdoor furniture, it is important to weigh up decision factors. In situations where there are many conflicting factors, decision-makers become undecided about determining the best furniture option. Hence, this study proposes an interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process-based model to prioritise the key factors influencing wooden outdoor furniture selection. In light of the aim, five main factors were determined: "safety and health properties", "comfort and appearance properties", "durability and mechanical properties", "economic aspects", and "environmental aspects". Each main factor was then subdivided into various subfactors. Pairwise comparisons were performed to obtain the priorities of the factors. According to the results, "safety and health properties" was the most significant main factor. The most important subfactors were found as "tipping resistance", "environmental friendliness", and "free of harmful substances".
