Abstract
    The establishment of a priority for hydrographic surveying, especially in countries with great coast extension, is essential due to the costs, time, navigation safety and political-economical conjuncture involved. Finding criteria that reflects the importance of re-surveying a given area is fundamental in this case. The traditional thematic classification has the limits and borders as crisps. However, reality shows that temporal, geobiophysics and socio-economics data, that should be used to classify areas for re-surveying, can not be truly expressed in a crisp or Boolean way. The Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), based in the Fuzzy Set Theory, has been used successfully to deal with such kind of problems. In this paper an approach of the hydrographic re-survey priority plan in port areas problem is presented using a FIS.
