Integrating Fuzzy Graphs for Enhanced Real Estate Investment Decision-Making

Session

Description

This study pioneers a fuzzy graph framework to navigate the complex uncertainties of real estate investment in Prishtina, Kosovo—a rapidly urbanizing emerging market grappling with data scarcity, volatile valuations, and post-conflict urban dynamics. Through qualitative engagement with local developers, appraisers, and investors, we conduct in-depth interviews and participatory workshops to map Kosovo-specific relational networks, including informal settlements, infrastructure gaps, and behavioral biases like herding in commercial zones. Ethnographic observation of decision-making processes further grounds the model in local realities. Expected outcomes include revealing hidden interdependencies (e.g., how land values intertwine with cultural perceptions of neighborhood prestige) and co-creating a contextsensitive decision prototype. Originality stems from uniquely adapting fuzzy graphs to Kosovo’s behavioral-geographic landscape, transforming subjective expert judgments into structured pathways while theorizing urban uncertainty in post-conflict cities.
