Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aims to identify and rank the key risk factors associated with the Zika virus by leveraging a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework based on type-2 heptagonal fuzzy sets. By integrating advanced aggregation operators, the framework effectively addresses uncertainties in expert assessments and enhances decision-making reliability.
