Abstract:
The Sociometry developed by Moreno is one of the measurement and evaluation methods of social structure which we could analyze by applying the fuzzy graph theory. Applying fuzzy graph theory, we could measure the preferring degree and amicable degree among the members of a group. Indicator that can measure the importance of members in a group can be analyzed more effectively. Because we can order the members based on the indicator. In this paper, we would introduce Fuzzy Core Index Method that can sequence members totally in fuzzy graph. Moreover, we show the effectiveness of this proposed method through the sociometry analysis.
