Abstract

Prevention and control of dengue fever are considered as a complex problem in day-to-day life. Noticeable changes in the human population growth, life style, and climate would cause more dengue outbreak in all over the world. The Government of India has developed a number of prevention and control strategies to protect individuals from dengue fever. Though, the strategies provided by the government are not identified based on people, space and time. In order to overcome this issue, the proposed approach presents various alternatives such as vaccination, disease surveillance, vector control, proper sanitation and increased accessed to safe drinking water, strengthening public health activities, awareness creation, and improving nutrition foods for women and child. The proposed alternatives are selected based on people, space and time criteria’s such as low temperature and heavy rain, high mean temperature and high humidity, water accumulation and rainfall resources and facilities, social culture variable and social demographic variable. The selection of alternatives based on multiple criteria’s is considered as a complex problem in decision-making framework. In general, decision makers and administrators are often used linguistic terms to give their opinions. This paper uses fuzzy logic based VIKOR (VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje) method to analyze the linguistic terms collected from the decision makers and rank the best alternatives based on multiple criteria’s.
