Abstract: Since unexpected geo-disasters have been causing enormous losses all over the world, it is unsustainable for the government to perfect the emergency rescue channels, so the non-profit could be embedded as far as possible. Nevertheless, the linkage performance may be affected by various different factors and it is always difficult to improve all aspects simultaneously. This paper's aim is to propose an imperative issue on how to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) that impact the linkage mechanism between government and non-profit in the geo-disaster emergency decision. Therefore, an effectively integrated approach of interpretive structural modelling, fuzzy logic and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory is adopted to visualise the causal relationships and hierarchical structure, six CSFs are identified from the initial 22 factors that are extraordinarily essential for the linkage mechanism, and all factors can be achieved for better improving the effectiveness of the linkage mechanism in the geo-disaster emergency decision.
