Annotation:  The purpose of this paper is developed a methodology for determining the social significance of networks structural elements projects of telecom operators. The paper is showing that in order to determine the project's assessment, it is necessary to take into account economic and social efficiency. The use of famous methods for determining the social significance of projects has a limitations set. Limitations are expressed by the difficulty of processing factors that have a non-linear level of significance or factors that have a qualitative description form. Elimination of restrictions is made using the methods of the fuzzy sets theory. Based on the analysis of the specifics of the fuzzy inference algorithms executing, a method of forming a knowledge base in the conditions when experts form conflicting rules is developed. The developed method proposes the knowledge base formation in which the level of rules depends significance on the number of experts who proposed it. For determine the social significance assessment, variables are proposed that characterize the project impact on the quality of living and working of users. For generalize the influence of variables, a hierarchical fuzzy inference system is developed. According to the results of the proposed system of fuzzy inference, graphic dependencies are presented. Graphic dependencies show the influence of input variables to output variables
