Abstract: In this paper, we proposed the 2-tuple linguistic VIKOR method based on the fundamental theories of 2-tuple linguistic information and origin VIKOR model. Firstly, we introduce the concepts, operation formulas and the distance calculating method of 2-tuple linguistic information. Then we review some aggregation operator of 2-tuple linguistic number, thereafter, the calculating steps of the VIKOR model for 2-tuple linguistic MCGDM problems are simply presented, in our proposed method; it’s more scientific and reasonable for considering the conflicting attributes. Moreover, a numerical example for effect evaluation of ancient village landscape planning based on the heritage historical context has been proposed to illustrate the new method and some comparisons are also conducted to further illustrate advantages of the new method.

Keywords: MCGDM problems, 2-tuple linguistic sets (2TLSs), VIKOR model, 2-tuple linguistic VIKOR method, ancient village landscape planning
