This paper aims to propose and evaluate two fuzzy-based systems for decision of sightseeing spots considering different conditions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the system, the authors considered four input parameters as follows: ambient temperature (AT), air quality (AQ), noise level (NL) and the current number of people (CNP) to decide the sightseeing spots visit or not visit (VNV). The authors call the proposed system: fuzzy-based decision visiting systems (FBDVSs). The authors implemented two systems as follows: FBDVS1 (three input parameters) and FBDVS2 (four input parameters). The authors make a comparison study between FBDVS1 and FBDVS2. The authors evaluate the proposed systems by computer simulations.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>From the simulations results, the authors conclude that when CNP is increased, the VNV is increased. However, when AQ and NL are increased, the VNV is decreased. Also, when the AT is around 18\u00b0C-26\u00b0C, the VNV is the best. Comparing the complexity, the FBDVS2 is more complex than FBDVS1. However, FBDVS2 considers also the AT, which makes the system more reliable.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the future, the authors would like to make extensive simulations to evaluate the proposed systems and compare the performance of the proposed systems with other systems.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>By simulation results, the authors have shown that the proposed system has a good performance and can choose good sightseeing spots.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ijwis-10-2019-0046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,9]],"date-time":"2020-03-09T09:33:57Z","timestamp":1583746437000},"page":"249-262","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A comparison study of two fuzzy-based decision visiting systems (FBDVSs) for sightseeing spots"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fukuoka Institute of Technology Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Faculty of Information Engineering, , Fukuoka,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ermioni","family":"Qafzezi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fukuoka Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering, , Fukuoka,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seiji","family":"Ohara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fukuoka Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering, , Fukuoka,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Bylykbashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fukuoka Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering, , Fukuoka,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonard","family":"Barolli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fukuoka Institute of Technology Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Faculty of Information Engineering, , Fukuoka,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1\/2","key":"2025072819323128600_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1009","DOI":"10.14778\/1920841.1920968","article-title":"Mining significant semantic locations from GPS data","volume":"3","author":"Cao","year":"2010","journal-title":"Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment"},{"key":"2025072819323128600_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1248","DOI":"10.1109\/ACSSC.2009.5469962","article-title":"Visual summaries of popular landmarks from community photo collections","volume-title":"2009 Conference Record of the Forty-Third Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","author":"Chen","year":"2009"},{"key":"2025072819323128600_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"36","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-35728-2_4","article-title":"Building a large scale test collection for effective benchmarking of mobile landmark search","volume-title":"Advances in Multimedia Modeling","author":"Cheng","year":"2013"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025072819323128600_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"519","DOI":"10.1007\/s12652-017-0676-0","article-title":"Implementation and performance evaluation of two fuzzy-based systems for selection of IoT devices in opportunistic networks","volume":"10","author":"Cuka","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing"},{"key":"2025072819323128600_ref005","first-page":"3","article-title":"A fuzzy-based system for actor node selection in WSANs for improving network connectivity and increasing number of covered sensors","volume-title":"International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems","author":"Elmazi","year":"2018"},{"key":"2025072819323128600_ref006","first-page":"141","article-title":"Trip tweets search by considering spatiotemporal continuity of user behavior","volume-title":"In International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications","author":"Hasegawa","year":"2012"},{"issue":"4","key":"2025072819323128600_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"228","DOI":"10.1504\/IJSSC.2016.082768","article-title":"Performance evaluation of a QoS-aware fuzzy-based CAC for LAN access","volume":"6","author":"Inaba","year":"2016","journal-title":"International Journal of Space-Based and Situated Computing"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025072819323128600_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"419","DOI":"10.1109\/21.52552","article-title":"Fuzzy logic in control systems: fuzzy logic controller.
