A comprehensive model for socially responsible rehabilitation of mining sites using Q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and combinative distance-based assessment

作者：

Highlights：

• This study focuses on how to identify the best rehabilitation strategy after closure.

• Different sustainable rehabilitation methods for closed mines are evaluated.

• Q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs) based CODAS model is developed.

• The proposed methodology is compared to the ARAS method.

• Rehabilitation and social transition subsidy is the best alternative among those considered.
