Abstract
This paper is concerned with a fuzzy extension of the Borda ranking method. Main attention is devoted to the application for the ecological risk ranking under uncertain data. A way to integrate different opinions and knowledge of different experts is proposed. The fuzzy extension also considers the cases of incomparability of expert assessments and missing opinions, as well as indifferent opinions and calibration (semantic or linguistic variables). An application of the considered ranking methodology to study potential ecological risks in the coastal areas of the Island of Tenerife is considered.
