      Summary: \(D\) numbers theory is an appropriate method to deal with the information of uncertainty and incompleteness when making a reasonable decision. Previous \(D\) numbers theory provides a rule to combine multiple \(D\) numbers. However, the commutative law is not satisfied in the rule of combining multiple \(D\) numbers. In this paper, a modified method for multiple \(D\) numbers combination is proposed. The proposed method defines a new function for multiple \(D\) numbers combination which is mainly determined by the original value of \(D\) numbers. Then the proposed combination rule is applied to environmental impact assessment (EIA); our results show that the proposed method is efficient for multiple \(D\) numbers combination and it is useful when dealing with uncertainty and incompleteness.
