Abstract
Ensuring a sustainable and eco-friendly environment is essential for promoting a healthy and balanced social life. However, decision-making in such contexts often involves handling vague, imprecise, and uncertain information. To address this challenge, this study presents a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach based on picture fuzzy hypersoft sets (PFHSS), integrating the flexibility of Schweizer-Sklar triangular norm-based aggregation operators. The proposed aggregation mechanisms—weighted average and weighted geometric operators—are formulated using newly defined operational laws under the PFHSS framework and are proven to satisfy essential mathematical properties, such as idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness. The decision-making model systematically incorporates both benefit and cost-type criteria, enabling more nuanced evaluations in complex social or environmental decision problems. To enhance interpretability and practical relevance, the study conducts a sensitivity analysis on the Schweizer-Sklar parameter (). The results show that varying affects the strictness of aggregation, thereby influencing the ranking stability of alternatives. A comparative analysis with existing fuzzy and hypersoft-based MCDM methods confirms the robustness, expressiveness, and adaptability of the proposed approach. Notably, the use of picture fuzzy sets allows for the inclusion of positive, neutral, and negative memberships, offering a richer representation of expert opinions compared to traditional models. A case study focused on green technology adoption for environmental sustainability illustrates the real-world applicability of the proposed method. The analysis confirms that the approach yields consistent and interpretable results, even under varying degrees of decision uncertainty. Overall, this work contributes an efficient and flexible MCDM tool that can support decision-makers in formulating policies aligned with sustainable and socially responsible outcomes.Keywords
Modeling a decision science problem primarily involves optimizing beneficial outcomes within the constraints of preferences specified by decision-makers, based on the given attribute values. However, effectively processing these preferences is often complex due to the inherent vagueness and uncertainty found in real-world problems. One of the significant areas of application in decision science lies in addressing human-centric environmental and social concerns. There is a growing global need for clean, eco-friendly, and sustainable solutions in production, energy, and transportation to tackle challenges such as climate change, global warming, and resource/waste management.
Three core pillars of green technology adoption aimed at improving social well-being include: promoting digital equity and environmental responsibility through strategic policies, fostering green alliances, and embedding sustainability as a societal value. These efforts contribute to cultivating responsible behaviors, sustainable practices, and lifestyles that enhance human health and well-being.
Fuzzy systems have been widely employed in real-life applications such as solar photovoltaic systems [1] and robotic manipulators [2,3]. Fuzzy decision-making, in particular, plays a vital role in evaluating performance indicators that are typically affected by uncertain data. For instance, Bhatia and Diaz-Elsayed [4] applied fuzzy TOPSIS techniques to support smart manufacturing adoption for small and medium-sized enterprises. Similarly, Aytekin and colleagues [5] evaluated sustainable green strategies in logistics using T-spherical fuzzy methods, and TODIM-based approaches have been implemented for green supplier selection under type-2 neutrosophic environments [6]. Moreover, complex q-rung picture fuzzy frameworks have been applied to power and energy decision-making [7], while interval-valued fermatean neutrosophic super hypersoft sets have been introduced in healthcare assessments [8].
Numerous researchers have developed methodologies rooted in fuzzy set theory and its extensions—such as picture fuzzy sets [9], fuzzy soft sets [10], and fuzzy hypersoft sets [11]. Naeem et al. [12] proposed sigma-algebraic measures for fuzzy neutrosophic soft sets, and later introduced picture fuzzy soft sigma-algebra measures with practical implications [13]. Aggregation operators for picture fuzzy soft sets have also been investigated using weighted average and hybrid models [14].
In certain decision-making scenarios, attributes require further categorization, where conventional soft sets are insufficient. Hypersoft set theory, as introduced by Smarandache [11], becomes essential in such cases. Over time, various hybrid fuzzy-hypersoft models have emerged. Saqlain et al. [15] presented neutrosophic hypersoft extensions of the TOPSIS method. Plithogenic hypersoft sets [16] and intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft models [17,18] have also been proposed, including Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft sets with Einstein-based aggregation operators [19] and their application in COVID-19 safety assessment [20].

1.2 Novelty and Contributions of the Present Study

3 Average/Geometric Aggregation Operators
The concept of an aggregation operator logically combines the related numerous inputs into a single output value, is a crucial tool in the information fusion process and is frequently applied to a wider range of decision science problems. The issues are not exclusive to mathematics; they are also extensively present in the area of physical sciences, socio-economic fields, engineering applications and other related fields. In this section, we develop two kinds of aggregation operators based on Schweizer-Sklar triangular norms for picture fuzzy hypersoft numbers and describe some outcomes based on them.
For proposing the Schweizer-Sklar based picture fuzzy hypersoft weighted averaging operator/geometric operator, it is required to understand some basic operations of

5 Utilization of Proposed Decision-Making Methodology in Green Technology Adoption for Healthy Social Environment
Human living environments are shaped by their surroundings because the behaviour of humanity depends on all environmental elements-such as air, food, goods, locations, and a host of other things—a clean environment (biotic/abiotic) is necessary for a healthy and trouble-free existence. A clean environment is essential to the global advancement of lifestyles. However, the globe is currently dealing with several environmental problems, such as pollution, solid waste, water supplies, global warming, temperature increases, and expanding populations. A sustainable green environment, green production, green energy, and eco-friendly transportation are what the public needs.
All countries on the earth are attempting, via the use of their resources, to address environmental challenges. In recent years, the clean environment has gained international attention. The contrastive features of such important concern are re-iteratively pushing for improvements to the clean, eco-friendly environment. The unfavorable state of the ecosystem has altered traditional wisdom, which could spell doom for a clean environment. While each nation has unique problems with maintaining a clean environment, most of the problems are global.
Suppose that a committee of experts has been formed to examine and decide on the key issues relating to environmental protection. The group of experts looked at many fundamental problems and expressed them in the form of available alternatives. The five possible alternatives that need to be assessed by the experts are; Rise in population

Evaluation and selection of choices have gotten harder over the past few years because of the fuzziness of the data that is now accessible and the necessity for more accuracy when analyzing qualities. To manage these situations, decision-making mechanisms must be enhanced. This picture fuzzy hypersoft paradigm can take into account a variety of sub-attributes and both perspectives of the three-dimensional information associated with the inclusion of three important uncertainty parameters which are very useful for making decisions. Experts provide their preferences in the form of
5.1 By Utilizing PFHSSSWA Operators
Phase 1. In the first phase, all the picture fuzzy hypersoft expert matrices for the alternatives are listed from Tables 1–5.
Phase 2. As every criterion is of benefit type, therefore normalization is not necessary.
Phase 3. Now, we applied the proposed picture fuzzy hypersoft SSAOs on the obtained expert matrices and acquired the required information from the experts in terms of
For
Phase 4. Now utilize the score function formula to compute the scores of all the available alternatives.
Phase 5. Based on score values for the alternatives, the prioritization of alternatives can be done as follows:
Further, on similar lines, all the computations can be done for the weighted average aggregation operators.
5.2 By Utilizing PFHSSSWG Operators
Phase 1. This phase is the same as in PFHSSSWA operators.
Phase 2. This phase is also the same as in PFHSSSWA operators.
Phase 3. Now, we applied the proposed picture fuzzy hypersoft SSAOs on the obtained expert matrices and acquired the required information from the experts in terms of
For
Phase 4. Now utilize the score function formula to compute the scores of all the available alternatives.
Phase 5. Based on score values for the alternatives, the prioritization of alternatives can be done as follows:

To demonstrate the impact of the SS (
It is clear from Fig. 2 that with the decreasing value of the SS parameter, the score values are increasing based on the PFHSSSWA operator. Numerous prioritization orderings can be used with the same PFHSSSWA operator. For the
Figure 2: Impact of SS
Similarly, from Fig. 3 with the decreasing value of the SS parameter the score values are decreasing based on the PFHSSSWG operator. And different ranking orders can be utilized with the same PFHSSSWG operator. Further, For the
Figure 3: Impact of SS
Now, depending on the perceptions of the experts, a decision-maker may have a positive or negative view. Therefore, choosing a larger value for the SS parameter is advised for decision-makers who have a negative outlook on a viable alternative based on criteria. Also, this suggests that the approach under consideration is supposed to be computationally robust and the process with the obtained results is valid.
7 Comparative Analysis & Advantages
The presented decision-making technique that can be utilized in PFHSSSWA or PFHSSSWG aggregation operators under a picture fuzzy hypersoft environment. The devised technique which is executed is decisive and useful in practical scenarios. Our anticipated methodology outperforms some of the existing methodologies and is capable of handling even more complex decision-making situations. The presented model performs numerous tasks and is more flexible to incorporate the variations while dealing with the process of uncertain problems. In the literature, there are various Schweizer-Sklar aggregation operators under different fuzzy environments and the evaluation system for every methodology is unique. These research deliberations and analyses have led us to the conclusion that the hybrid decision-making technique produces more reliable results than the conventional one.
Also, the criterion and decision maker’s weights for the evaluation of alternatives under these criteria are very important factors for decision-making technique. Further, we compare our methodologies based on these terms with some existing methodologies tabulated in Table 8 and one can say that the proposed decision-making methodologies are equally consistent with some of the existing techniques.
The key distinctions and advantages of our method are as follows:
• Improved Handling of Uncertainty:
– Unlike traditional fuzzy or intuitionistic fuzzy methods, our approach leverages picture fuzzy sets, which incorporate positive, neutral, and negative membership degrees. This allows for a more expressive and realistic modeling of human judgments, especially in complex or ambiguous decision environments.
– Competing methods often fail to explicitly account for neutrality or hesitation, limiting their effectiveness in real-world uncertain scenarios.
• Flexible Aggregation with the Schweizer-Sklar Operator:
– The use of the parameterized Schweizer-Sklar operator provides a tunable mechanism to control the level of compensation among criteria.
– This flexibility allows decision-makers to adapt the model based on their preferences (risk-averse, neutral, or compensatory), whereas most traditional methods apply fixed aggregation rules that cannot be adjusted.
• Computational Efficiency:
– Although our method introduces additional components (e.g., picture fuzzy logic and parameterized aggregation), the computational complexity remains linear with respect to the number of criteria and alternatives, which is comparable to or even better than some iterative or optimization-based MCDM techniques.
– Additionally, the closed-form formulations used in the aggregation and scoring steps make the method scalable for large decision problems.
• Ranking Stability and Robustness:
– Through our sensitivity analysis on the Schweizer-Sklar parameter (
– Some benchmark methods show ranking reversals or inconsistencies under slight model perturbations, suggesting lower robustness.
• Limitations and Scope for Future Work:
– We acknowledge that our method requires parameter tuning (
– Moreover, while picture fuzzy sets enhance uncertainty modeling, they also increase the cognitive load on decision-makers during input elicitation.
Furthermore, due to various unique circumstances, the tool of parametrization and sub-parametrization is very useful which is not yet covered by the existing Schweizer-Sklar aggregation operators. As a result, the approach we have devised will be substantially stronger, more reliable, and better than the various existing techniques. Table 9 presented the characteristic comparison analysis of the proposed aggregation operators with existing aggregation operators.

This work opens several avenues for further research:
• Extending the proposed framework to more generalized fuzzy environments such as T-spherical fuzzy sets, indetermSoft sets, and indetermHyperSoft sets [51] to handle larger and more complex decision problems.
• Applying the aggregation operators in hybrid or ensemble decision models, particularly in AI-driven applications such as intelligent recommendation systems, stochastic simulations, and ML-integrated decision support systems.
• Developing data-driven consensus models and real-time decision tools that incorporate the tunable behavior of the Schweizer-Sklar parameter for adaptive analysis.
