        Over the two recent decades utilizing out of the concept of management of supply chain on the industry and the subject of the option of the supplier has attracted too much attention towards itself. The supply chain is a vital factor for the competitiveness of organizations. This probe aimed at to elucidation of a structured method for the evaluation and option of the supplier. Based on this issue and over the one step by step process the appropriate supplier is being chosen among the Qom Refah chain store’s suppliers of dairy and beverage, by usage and employment out of related data. The universal statistics of this survey are the managers and staff of Refah store of Qom. Thus after recognition of key indicators by the method of group AHP, the weight of indicators is being specified. As well for the comparison and ranking of suppliers the method of QUALIFLEX is being used, which it is used in the decision explanation, because of the flexibility of multiple criteria of decision-making and sequential information. Based upon search consequences the final ranking of suppliers on the beverage products is being formed as C > A > D > B and the final ranking of suppliers on the dairy products as well ranked as F > E > G.

        Dasht-e-Bayaz region is one of the most seismically active areas in eastern Iran, which has relatively long and active faults. 1968 and 1979 catastrophic earthquakes (MW>7.0) in this area show that the area has experienced significant damages. Using existing maps inc More
        Dasht-e-Bayaz region is one of the most seismically active areas in eastern Iran, which has relatively long and active faults. 1968 and 1979 catastrophic earthquakes (MW>7.0) in this area show that the area has experienced significant damages. Using existing maps including active faults map and satellite images and Seismological catalog of International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology, seismotectonic map was prepared and seismic hazard was investigated using deterministic and probabilistic methods. Also, for AHP method, special questionnaire was designed, which answered with seismologists and the seismic hazard was evaluated using AHP method. The deterministic and probabilistic results show that there is probability of occurrence of an earthquake with magnitude of 7.6 during a 20-year period in Dasht-e-Bayaz and Qaen regions. Also, using the two above methods the highest risk is related to Ferdows thrust fault within the investigated active faults in the Dasht-e Bayaz-Qaen area. Although, the AHP method, which considers hypocentral and epicentral distances of the earthquakes, mechanism of the faults and kind of the bedrock, introduces Dasht-e-Bayaz fault region as a high risk area Manuscript profile

        This study is about Environmental Risks Analysis of Helleh protected area of boushehrwith using AHP method. Helleh protected area with extension about 48940.82 hectares, is located at geographic coordinates of ً24، ´38، 50)  ( till ( ً23،´ 56، 50)eastern longitude and ( ً24، ´03، 29) till ( ً50، ´16، 29)northern latitude. In this study at the first Delphi method was applied for hazard identification in area. Also according to the field studies, interview with natives and studying the database of helleh, the couple of risks were added to the factors that were identified with Delphi method. Finally 26 risks were identified in two groups that are including natural events and environmental risks. At the next stage, analytical hierarchy process was applied for analysis and priority of identified risks. In this study, the risks were assessed by using of three criteria like severity, probability and vulnerability. With building of raeesali delvari dam on top of the helleh protected area almost 232300 m3 from fresh water of helleh wetland was layed off and only the salinity water of DalakiRiver is streaming to the wetland. This can cause threaten the wetland, fauna and flora of wetland. So the Raeesali delvari dam with weight 0.116 is in preference 1. The rest of risks are in preference 2 till 26. Some ways that have suggested for control the risks are including laying off water pumping from the wetland and regarding to the hunting season, multiplicity and type of legal hunting.
