This paper presents a hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model that integrates the fuzzy DIBR II (Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked Criteria II) method with the MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison). The proposed model addresses the problem of selecting an appropriate flood protection method for Arilje, Republic of Serbia. Flooding in this region results from the overflow of the Veliki Rzav River, which lacks constructed water structures for flood protection. The study considers three alternative flood protection solutions: sand-filled bags, mobile freestanding plastic systems, and mobile freestanding metal systems. The fuzzy DIBR II method was used to define the weighting coefficients of the criteria within a group decision-making framework. Next, the MABAC method was applied to rank the proposed alternatives. Finally, the results were validated through sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis. The validation confirmed that the developed hybrid model produces stable and reliable results.
