Popis: Abstract Identifying the optimal mining methods plays a pivotal role in ensuring both economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. This study aims to propose a model that combines interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy sets (IVPFS) and TOPSIS-GRA to select the optimal mining method for broken ore bodies. First, a multi-factor comprehensive evaluation system, including economic, safety, and technical aspects, was established. IVPFS was introduced to express the fuzzy information of the decision-making process within the evaluation system. Additionally, an objective method combining the principle of fuzzy entropy measurement with EWM was proposed to determine the weights of fuzzy information. This method distinguished the importance of decision-makers and indicators. Then, an integration of distance and similarity (TOPSIS-GRA) was employed for ranking alternative solutions to select the optimal one. This model was applied to the decision-making problem of mining methods for the broken and difficult-to-mine ore bodies in the Tanyaokou mining area. Initial fuzzy evaluation information was obtained by having decision-makers score the mining methods. Results showed that the comprehensive scores of four alternatives are 0.5172, 0.4683, 0.5192, and 0.5465, respectively. The optimal method was the point-pillar upward horizontal layered filling mining method. Finally, the sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of the model. The comparative results under different fuzzy environments (PFS and TFS) demonstrated the strong capability of IVPFS in handling fuzzy information for optimizing mining methods.
