The iron and steel industry plays a major role in Libyan urbanization. Iron and steel products are the main driving forces in the construction manufacturing sector in Libya. This research suggests a set of indicators to evaluate the sustainability of the iron and steel industry in Libya using a rough AHP model. Rough AHP analyzes the relative importance of the criteria based on preferences given by experts. The research results show that the most important criterion is costs, followed by emissions and waste. We have found that the rough AHP model can play an important role in improving indicators that quantify the advance toward sustainable development, especially in complex environments (i.e., Libya).
