Fuzzy cognitive maps

With this in mind, and through a case study based on the application of a fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) for the territory of the province of Foggia (Italy), a qualitative analysis on the perceptions of local stakeholders has been performed to validate the feasibility of establishing a biorefinery in the area. The result of the analysis is a cognitive map in which the knowledge of stakeholders is drawn. The cognitive map allows the identification of the most-relevant social and economic...
