Expert opinions were evaluated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method based on 22 sustainability indicators grouped under five main categories. Subsequently, a fuzzy logic-based scoring system was developed to quantitatively determine the priorities for transformation. The method was applied in the city of Adana, Turkey, which has a seismically active and ageing urban fabric. Expert judgements and spatial data were integrated to create a repeatable and scalable transformation index. Unlike traditional, threshold-based policies, this approach offers a data-driven, transparent, and adaptable decision support mechanism that is compatible with local risks and sustainability goals. The model provides a practical tool for local authorities and urban planners to prioritise transformation areas based on scores. Furthermore, by bridging qualitative indicators and quantitative planning, it makes a unique contribution to the global literature on sustainable urban resilience.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAHPSustainable IndicatorUrban TransformationDecision Support SystemFuzzy LogicArticle10.1080/12265934.2026.26360182-s2.0-105032125805
