Abstract We propose a group decision making model based on conflicting bifuzzy
sets (CBFS) where evaluation are bi-valued in accordance to the subjective assessment
obtained from the experts for the positive and negative views. This paper discusses the
weighting methods for particular attribute and subattribute with emphasis given to the
unification of subjective and objective weights. The integration of CBFS in the model
is naturally done by extending the fuzzy evaluation in parallel with the intuitionistic
fuzzy. We introduce a new technique to compute the similarity measure, being the
degree of agreement between the experts. We end up the paper by demonstrating the
applicability of the proposed model to the empirical case of flood control project, one
of the project selection problems.
