Short summary
This study proposes an improved group decision making (GDM) framework that combines VIKOR method with data fuzzification to quantify the spatial flood vulnerability, including multiple criteria. The combination of the GDM approach with the fuzzy VIKOR method can provide robust prioritization because it actively reflects the opinions of various groups and considers uncertainty in the input data.
