Study on Damage Assessment of Earthen Sites of the Ming Great Wall in Qinghai Province Based on Fuzzy-AHP and AHP-TOPSIS

AHP-TOPSIS emerges as the more accurate method for assessing damage to earthen sites of the Ming Great Wall in Qinghai Province, offering a closer alignment with real-world conditions compared to Fuzzy-AHP. This study evaluates 18 earthen sites by integrating their environmental context, material properties, deterioration patterns, and construction techniques. The findings highlight AHP-TOPSIS's potential for broader application in assessing similar heritage sites across Northwest China, providing a robust framework for targeted conservation efforts.
