In the field of qualitative decision making with hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs), distance measure (DM) is a significant concept that reflects the degree of difference between HFLTSs. Various DMs among HFLTSs have been proposed, which enhance the applicability of HFLTSs in multicriteria decision making (MCDM) under qualitative hesitation information. However, existing strategies not only have their own pros and cons but also fail to measure linguistic assessments from multiple linguistic term sets with different distributions (i.e., multigranular unbalanced linguistic information). In this article, we first propose a new strict DM between two hesitant fuzzy linguistic elements (HFLEs) based on the Wasserstein distance of their semantics intervals. Then, two novel kinds of DMs (Euclidean and Chebyshev forms) for HFLTSs are proposed and their strictness is proved. Weighted and ordered weighted versions of HFLTSs based on Euclidean form are derived. Afterward, illustrative examples, simulations, and related analyses are given to demonstrate the rationality of the proposals. Finally, two cases are applied to verify the efficiency and practicality of the novel measures in real life.

The comprehensive benefit evaluation of LID based on multi-criteria decision-making methods faces technical issues such as the uncertainties and vagueness in hybrid information sources, which can affect the overall evaluation results and ranking of alternatives. This study introduces a multi-indicator fuzzy comprehensive benefit evaluation approach for the selection of LID measures, aiming to provide a robust and holistic framework for evaluating their benefits at the community level. The proposed methodology integrates quantitative environmental and economic indicators with qualitative social benefit indicators, combining the use of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and ArcGIS for scenario-based analysis, and the use of hesitant fuzzy language sets and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for decision-making.

With the rapid advancement of technologies like the Internet, big data, and AI, various apps have impacted the daily lives of the elderly, widening the generational "digital divide." Adapting apps for elderly users is crucial to addressing this issue. To address this challenge, we first focused on the middle-aged and elderly population, verifying the reliability and validity of the survey results.

Financial institutions attach great importance to the multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems of selecting an effective third-party logistics (3PL) service provider in supply chain finance. A suitable 3PL service provider can not only assist financial institutions in carrying out supply chain finance activity but can also replace financial institutions in supervising the operation of a target financing supply chain, therefore minimizing financial institutions' operating risks. However, there is no sufficient study on the selection of a 3PL service provider.

The Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) is a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) technique that uses various distances from average values to make decisions. It bears resemblance to other distance-based approaches like SPOTIS, VIKOR or TOPSIS, except that instead of positive and negative ideal solutions, it uses an average solution. For hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic term sets (HIFLTSs), we first define several operational laws and aggregation operators.

The problem of insecurity is a global crisis with adverse effects on lives and properties. Fermatean fuzzy correlation coefficient is a dependable method for handling imprecision, which is the main bottleneck of insecurity assessment. A number of Fermatean fuzzy correlation coefficient methods have been developed.
