Abstract
Every country requires an efficient governance sector as a capable tool to realize its macro policies, enabling it to play a role in various industrial domains. It is expected that the managerial behaviors of the stakeholders in gas transmission pipelines align with the numerous developments occurring in the industry. The rapid and continuous changes of the present era have placed pipeline networks in a dynamic and variable environment, where risk management is of paramount importance to keep pace with these changes. Risk response must be comprehensively considered in corrosion management to ensure the sustainable operation of pipeline networks. In this regard, the analysis of corrosion maintenance system scenarios for natural gas pipelines, utilizing a fuzzy cognitive map, has been presented as a decision-making framework for risk management in pipeline corrosion. This study is applied in nature and employs a survey-exploratory data collection method, utilizing a deductive-inductive research approach. Participatory action research was conducted with the assistance of 30 engineering experts, including those specialized in metallurgy, who possess the necessary knowledge and experience with a minimum of 10 years in the field. Using a fuzzy cognitive map, scenarios within the maintenance system of natural gas pipelines were designed and developed. The proactive maintenance strategy achieved the highest degree of centrality in the gas industry. The proposed strategies can serve as a guide for policymakers in formulating a roadmap for the maintenance system of natural gas pipelines in the face of corrosion.
