What is Environmental impact assessment procedure: A new approach based on fuzzy logic about?
The information related to the different environmental impacts produced by the execution of activities and projects is often limited, described by semantic variables and, affected by a high degree of inaccuracy and uncertainty, thereby making fuzzy logic a suitable tool with which to express and treat this information. The present study proposes a new approach based on fuzzy logic to carry out the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of these activities and projects. Firstly, a set of impact properties is stated and two nondimensional parametersranging from 0 to 100are assigned, (p i ) to assess the value of the property and (v i ) to assess its contribution to each environmental impact. Next, the impact properties are described by means of fuzzy numbers p i using generalised confidence intervals. Then, a procedure based on fuzzy arithmetic is developed to define the assessment functions v ̄ ̄= f (p ̄ ̄)conventional mathematical functions, which incorporate the knowledge of these impact properties and give the fuzzy values v i corresponding to each p i . Subsequently, the fuzzy value of each environmental impact V ̄ ̄is estimated by aggregation of the values v i , in order to o
