This paper presents spatial mathematical model in order to identify sites for the wind farms installment which can have significant support for the planners in the area of strategy and management of wind power use. The suggested model is based on combined use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with multi-criteria techniques of Best-Worst method (BWM) and MultiAttributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA). Rough numbers and fuzzy logic are used to exploit uncertainty during data analysis in spatial mathematical model. The model is applied on the case study. Rough BWM model is used to determine weight coefficients of the criteria and rough MAIRCA method is used to rank separated sustainable locations. The implementation of MAIRCA method has shown that the location L3 is the most suitable for the wind farm in the area covered in the case study. Therefore, the suggested spatial mathematical model can be successfully used to identify the potential suitable sites for the wind farms in other areas with similar geographic conditions.

Modification of the Best-Worst and MABAC methods: A novel approach based on interval-valued fuzzy-rough numbers (2018, background): “…can provide greater flexibility in presenting imprecise and vague information, especially in the process of group decision making, which is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty (Gorzalczani, 1987; Bigand and Colot, 2010; Han et al., 2016; Pamučar et al, 2016c; Pamučar et al, 2017a, 2017b).”
