        poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon and is affected by many factors. In this context, the most important task of geographers and urban planners is to use tools to identify the extent of poverty in the city to reduce the problems and consequences of this social and spatial damage.The purpose of this article is to analyze the spatial distribution of urban poverty in Benab neighborhoods with the approach of reducing urban poverty and preventing its cycle from reproducing in deprived neighborhoods. In terms of purpose, this article is a practical approach and in terms of research method, it is descriptive-analytical. The data collection tool for investigating urban poverty indicators is in the form of four general selected indicators and 30 sub-indices. The findings of the research show that the indicators of urban poverty in the urban areas of Benab are not distributed in a balanced way and there is a huge difference between these areas in terms of development. Neighborhood 2 with a score of 0.700 and neighborhoods 13 and 11 with a score of 0.291 and 0.251 are placed at the highest and lowest levels, respectively. In general, it can be seen that among the thirteen neighborhoods of Benab city, 0.15 are very poor, 0.39 are poor, 0.23 are average, 0.15 are prosperous and 0.8 are very prosperous. In order to reduce urban poverty, first of all, it is necessary to know it correctly, accurately measure it, and analyze it in a documented and realistic way. The procedure and practice of planning and poverty reduction programs today, both at the scientific level and at the practical level, are based on decentralization, a bottom-up perspective, the use of local knowledge, empowering citizens, and cooperative planning by maintaining a balance between the three The main actor means the civil society, the government and the private sector.

        City parks embody regions covered with plants that capture in and around cities, with two eminent functions including temperature adjustment, weather moderation and beauty. Due to the lack of green spaces per capita and its inappropriate distribution in mashhad metropoli the current study tends to draw more attention toward evaluating and prioritizing the existing parks in the region 13th mashhad metropolis. The indicators such as Facilities, beauty, security, access, distribution-scattering, space and the use of the TOPSIS model have been discussed. The descriptive-analytical research method was based on field survey with emphasis on the practical aspect and data collection. The results of the research findings show; among the 13 parks in the samen region of mashhad metropolis; the only park is omurshahr that its desirability and quality indicators have been upgraded to some extent. Also, the results of the TOPSIS model indicate that the park of the Amurshahr with score 0/993, shahid fahmideh park with score 0/773, mir park 0/625 places the highest. Eidgah alley with score 0/240 and javidan park 0/185 and bah al-tolieh park 0/140 have the lowest quality and desirability. Manuscript profile

        Urban projects are one of the integral parts of urban management tasks. Hence, different parts of an urban project management improvement are one of city executive concerns. Delay and Delay management is on of these parts. Any delay of construction project implementations is a waste of resources and it will impose heavy costs on any project. Occasionally, this is so influential that it even affects project justification. This paper examines the causes of urban project delays by using Casual Layered Analysis (CLA). Then, it will use scenario-building to make most likely scenarios by using Global Business Network (GBN). GBN uses the most likely uncertainties ahead of project delay to make its scenarios. In this regard, two series of interviews, one structured and one structured, are performed. Then, based on them, The related uncertainties are ranked by using fuzzy Technique to Order Preferences by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOSIS). It uses SWOT to propose some strategies. Based on results, four scenarios are formed. Then, the impact of each scenario on the project delay conditions are examined. Some strategies are suggested to move toward the best scenarios. Based on the results, minimizing the government size and creating various infrastructures ,to make competence situation, are the future keys of having less delayed urban project. Manuscript profile

        In this article Topsis method in fuzzy phase was used to determine strategic priorities of research centers for resource allocation. First, the importance score of indices were determined through Study and interview with experts then according to defensive researches in the country and related centers which are considered as references indices were chosen. Next we determined to which centers, it is better, to assign the most budyet and facilities according to “TOPSIS” method and related and tables (they are described in the text) also we suggested the best choice. Through this process qualitative and quantitative indices can be used and consequently fuzzy method is sued to conver comprehensive and qualitative indices in to measurable quantitative and indices. This method of decision along with multiple qualitative indices can be used to determine the priority for allocating Rial and foreign currencies budjet to government research centers under the supervision of the ministry culture and advance education.

        Development is an exponential phenomenon which requires basis changes in cultural and social structures on one hand and economic growth and reducing poverty on the other hand. Imbalance and high concentration are from characteristic of the Third World Countries. These characteristics are the results of polar growth policies according to which some locations are strategic while others are marginal. Urban planning faces with issues such as understanding and analyzing the potentialities as well as the determination of the development level of a given city. One of the major and essential topics in comprehensive planning system is harmonious development issue that is introduced in terms of development of districts of a community. Paying attention to coordinating the areas based on providing them all items of economy, social, facilities, welfare and equipment is of the issues which can pave the way to get to justly distribution of sources to unity all areas with the quantity and quality aims of the outstanding huge national plans and policies. Utilization of quantitative criterions and methods to level the settlements in space systems of urban zones causes to recognize the extent of inequality of settlements from one side and is, from the other side, a criterion to try to decrease and remove the existing inequalities among them. The objective of this paper is to assess and evaluate the entitlement levels of the 22 zones of Tehran metropolitan to get closer to social justice, space development and to reach to regional inequalities regarding the studied indexes. The research method is descriptive and analytic that utilized TOPSIS quantitative model for ranking. The most entitled district regarding development is district 5 with priority coefficient of 0.584 and the least entitled one is district 17 with priority coefficient of 0.256. Finally, considering the social justice criterion and necessity of equal sharing of sources and city services to decrease the social differences between north and south zones of Tehran, we have to devote sources to different areas considering the areas justice. I mean we have to do it in a way that: - The needs of each zone population are met; - Devote most of the budget to the zones with most investment attraction to the areas with the least investment attraction which can guide and control the move of budget into the poor zones in the true way; - By building some worthy applications, in or next to poor zones, decreasing in Capitation level for incompatible uses, and trying to increase the zones quality with making a change in the kind of the city zones usages and providing services, especially the ones which are providing services, especially the ones which are municipal responsibilities to make the same level of progress among different zones; - The setting of appropriate density levels within area; - Adequate existing public transport capacity available or likely to be available within a reasonable development timescale; - The relationship and linkages between the area to be (re)developed and established neighborhoods, including the availability of existing community facilities.   Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the current research was to identify and prioritize the functions of the generation gap in the development of public sports in the country using the TOPSIS model. This research was applied in terms of purpose, which was done in a mixed way. The statistical population included professors of sports science and sports management, experts in the field of public sports, experts in the field of sociology and sociology of sports, and sports managers of organizations in charge of sports such as municipalities, the Federation of Public and Recreational Sports, and the Federation of Student Sports, which with 14 People were interviewed and 384 questionnaires were distributed and collected in the quantitative section. The method of data analysis in the qualitative part was thematic analysis and in the quantitative part structural equation modeling and TOPSIS model. The findings show that the functions of the generational gap in public sports are placed in two main themes (generational and sports functions) and 6 sub-themes, and the results of the research model show that the conceptual model of the research has a good fit. Finally, the findings of the TOPSIS model showed that generational changes are the first priority among the functions of the intergenerational gap in public sports, followed by cultural changes and sports changes. Communication was also the last priority of the respondents. Manuscript profile

        Control and reduction in environmental pollutants are of a great importance in all countries. In this paper, pollutant gases in the cement industry are analyzed and then prioritized for purposes of control and filtration based on DEA models. Two new radial and non-radial DEA models are proposed to prioritize reduction in total costs and in the effects of pollutant gases. Then, another non-radial model is provided for prioritizing reduction in costs and in the effects of pollutant gases. This prioritization is carried out using free disposal hull (FDH) and central resource allocation (CRA) models considering the types of disease caused by the pollutant gases and the medical treatment costs incurred. Finally, the results of the prioritization of Fars cement industry pollutant gases by all three proposed models are compared with those given by Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and by FDH models.

        The TOPSIS process is one of the most comprehensive systems designed for decision making with multiple criteria, since this technique enables formulation of the problem as decision matrix, as well as the possibility of considering different quantitative and qualitative criteria in the problem. Fuzzy TOPSIS methods have been introduced to make fundamental decisions that make decisions decisions in these ways, including the lack of precision in fuzzy calculations, which can be attributed to the lack of use of the principle of "Zadeh” in the definition of operators. For example, the multiplication of two triangular fuzzy numbers will not necessarily be triangular fuzzy. However, in most of the fuzzy TOPSIS methods, this is assumed. In this paper, we attempt to first define the ideal vector of false algebra, then two functions are designed for this purpose, then the optimal of these functions can be found using GA. All steps are based on the principle of "Zadeh”". Manuscript profile

        Data envelopment analysis is a linear programming-based approach used to evaluate the relative performance of decision making units (DMU's) that perform the same tasks with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Due to the optimistic view of the DEA in evaluating the performance of homogeneous decision making units, multiple units with a maximum relative efficiency score (equal to unit) are highly likely. Therefore, ranking models were presented to distinguish between efficient units. Cross efficiency evaluation is one of the most useful tools for ranking DMUs in data envelopment analysis. This model has two major flaws in implementation. First, it yields different results in the presence of optimal alternatives; and second, there is no compelling reason to use the arithmetic mean to integrate the cross-performance matrix results. In this paper, a new approach, inspired by the preferential voting process and the idea proposed in the TOPSIS method, is presented to combine cross-performance results in the presence of undesirable outputs. The results are then used to rank suppliers in the presence of undesirable outputs. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to present a method based on DEA-TOPSIS for ranking the DMUs in group decision making. In the proposed method, after creating an expert team and determining their weights, the DMUs, inputs and outputs are determined and ranked in three stages. In the first stage, by using Euclidean Distance, the matrix of each expert is normalized and consequently, the DEA models corresponding to each expert are solved. The DMUs are divided into two groups, the first group consists of DMUs where at least one experts’ opinion is inefficient and the second group consists of DMUs where the views of all experts are efficient. In the second stage, the rank of the DMUs of the first group is determined by calculating the weighted arithmetic average. In the third stage, the rank of the DMUs of the second group is determined using the TOPSIS method for each expert, consequently, the final rank of the DMUs is calculated using the Weighted Borda Scoring Method. Then the proposed approach was implemented to rank the six-paths of the Blue Ocean Strategy of the IRAFA industry and management group. The IRAFA team of experts, consisting of seven senior experts, was formed, and their weights were determined. It was also found that six paths to restructure the Blue Ocean Strategy (DMUs) are effective on IRAFA Value Innovation, and the DEA model has four outputs (utility, price, cost, and acceptance). The results of solving the DEA model of each expert showed that there are four paths in the first group and two paths in the second group. Applying the Weighted Borda Scoring Method to rank the DMUs of the second group shows that creating a functional-emotional orientation for the organization's customers is the top priority of IRAFA Manuscript profile

The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objectivefunctions and constraints. In this compromise programming method, two concepts areconsidered simultaneously. First of them is that the optimal alternative is closer to fuzzypositive ideal solution (FPIS) and farther from fuzzy negative ideal solution (FNIS). Secondof them is that the proposed method provides a maximum ‘‘group utility’’ for the‘‘majority’’ and a minimum of an individual regret for the ‘‘opponent’’. In proposedmethod, the decomposition algorithm is utilized to reduce the large-dimensional objectivespace.

        Introduction: The ultimate ambition of organizations in today's fast-changing world is to properly manage and direct challenges and successfully deal with the continuous, dynamic, and unpredictable environmental changes. Agility is an attribute of organizations that enjoy such a management. The present study aimed to rank agility factors, examine their conditions, and identify strategies for enhancing agility in hospitals in the Iranian city of Birjand. Methods: This was an applied study using a descriptive-analytical method, and the A.T. Kearney model was used to assess organizational agility. The data was collected through a questionnaire that was distributed among 75 employees in three hospitals, namely A Hospital, B Hospital, and C Hospital. SPSS and Excel were used for statistical testing and ranking, using the TOPSIS method. Results: Considering the mean test results (t-tests) for the three hospitals and the significance level obtained for each criteria, it was found that A Hospital is an agile organization for the three criteria of culture and values, customer service, and organizational change. Considering that the performance management enjoyed a significance level below 0.05 for B Hospital, it is an agile organization in this regard. Meanwhile, C Hospital proved to be an agile organization in terms of culture and organizational change. Ranking results for agility of hospitals through TOPSIS showed that C Hospital with a relative immediacy index of 0.555 held the first place, A and B hospitals with relative immediacy indexes of 0.523 and 0.440 held the second and third place respectively. Conclusion: The statistical test results showed that out of the six organizational agility criteria, A Hospital enjoyed a desirable condition for the three criteria of culture and values, customer service, and organizational change, B Hospital for one criterion, namely performance management, and C Hospital for two criteria of culture and values and organizational change.

        Introduction: Social Security Organization as a health service provider provides some parts of healthcare services in indirect sector through contracting with private and public centers. The purpose of this paper was to performance assessment and ranking provincial units of this organization in indirect treatment sector. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the performance of this organization's indirect treatment across the country was assessed using the TOPSIS method by considering six important attributes. For this purpose, each province was considered as an alternative also the required data from the 2017 statistical yearbook was obtained. Calculations and ranking of provinces were done using Excel 2010 software. Results: The ratio of the total number of contracted healthcare centers to the population covered by the treatment of each province and proportion of the total number of doctors contracted to the population covered by the treatment of each province attributes with the highest weight were identified. The highest and lowest performance scores were calculated 1 and 6×10-4 respectively. Conclusion: Although the social security organization has used indirect treatment in all provinces of the country as a strategy to increase the access of insured persons to medical resources, it did not have the same performance in all provinces. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the purchase contracts of health services with hospitals, clinics, polyclinics, day clinics, healthcare centers, general practitioners, specialists and dentists of public sector, private, military, etc., especially in provinces with poor performance.

        Potential investors and users of financial non-financial information try todetermine success and non- success companies to take better investment decisions.Because evaluations are time dependent, and have multidimensional and dynamicnature, therefore regular assessment cannot shows various aspects of performanceduring the time.In this article multiperiodic MADM used for assessment as DEA input variables.This information (including weights and values of criteria) is provided in differentperiods, so criteria weights and their values for each alternative will be dynamic.In trends as well as last events are most important, naturally have more weights.So decision based on independent methods, aren’t correct and suitable. Consideringseveral periods for alternatives performance measurement not only is necessary butalso is vital. Previous researchers have little attention to these issues, so at theprevious models often only one table related to the decision last term was used.This paper has been merged results matrices from past periods, the performanceanalysis done by combination of DEA and TOPSIS. Therefore an ideal virtualdecision making unit added to the model. Two virtual decision-making units (IDMUand ADMU) for configuring the structuring two DEA models to calculate the best andworst relative performance are used. These two distinct performances are integratedusing TOPSIS, for creating combination criterion called relative closeness (RC) to theIDMU.

        The creative city is the center of innovation, creativity, and the transformation of ideas into wealth, and having such a city is the ideal dream of superior societies. From another perspective, the continuous design of fresh ideas and innovation are key elements of the global era. Moving towards the creation and realization of a creative city in economic development is very necessary. Therefore, the presentation of the creative city model in 22 urban areas of Tehran is one of the priorities and the main objective is to rank the indicators of creativity with 19 factors from the indicators of the creative city using the secondary data, the preparation of the script and the proper use of the SPSS software solution. And leveling up. Studies show that in terms of indicators of a creative city, the level of Tehran's regions is not the same. However, the prioritization of the Topsis model reveals three distinct levels: (1) the level; (2) the semi-possessive (medium); (3) the surface of the crust (deprived). The results of the research show that, on the one hand, the increase and improvement of the criteria of the creative city has its effects on the movement of neighborhoods to the realization of the creative city, and on the other hand, the amount of this impact is very different, so that according to the network analysis model, the index of innovation benchmarks Showing 265/0 has the greatest impact on moving a neighborhood toward the creative neighborhood in Tehran. In the meantime, the number of science and technology centers, innovations and inventions play the most role in the realization of the creative area of Tehran; however, the factor of human capital, especially elites and students, social capital, social networking and cooperative networks, play a major role in realizing In the final stage, quality of life is also effective in moving a neighborhood toward creative neighborhoods in the city. The calculation of multiple correlation coefficient shows that 0.39% of the changes in the realization of creative neighborhoods in Tehran are due to the improvement and application of the components of the creative city, so that for a unit of change due to standard deviation, the criteria for the realization of the creative city 62 / 0% of the unit changes in the realization of creative neighborhoods in Tehran.

        Today there is a high demand for water, particularly in arid regions, which is attributed due tothe increasing world population with its agricultural and industrial activities from the one sideand, over the last few years, increasing drought from the other side.Thus it is a priority toinvestigate the proper site selection of a waste water treatment plant. In this study, locationsfor the waste water treatment plant for the city of Qeshm, Hormozgan Province wereinvestigated. Treatment plant operation requires a number of policies, regulations and data.The importance of the above mentioned factors are essential in consideration of site selection.Therefore, we considered the slope of the land, elevation difference with respect to Qeshm,land cover, land use, distance from town and additional data for this project. We gavedifferent weights to each data, according to AHP, and determined which slope received themost weight value. Following this process, we categorized the data into four classes accordingto the TOPSIS model. This model selects the shortest distance from the highest level of theclasses and the longest distance from the lowest class. The end result showed that the modelselected 109 km2 of Qeshm Island that would be a suitable area for creating a waste watertreatment plant. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Nowadays, due to population growth, the optimal use of land is a paramount importance. For example, in mining areas, a large area is occupied for the mining purpose which sometimes exceeds several hectares. In this regard, the amount of destruction and the environmental harms resulted from mining increases upon the rise of quantity and capacity of mines. On the other hand, since both mineral products and environment are a necessity for humans, one cannot be sacrificed for the other one. So, the logical solution is concurrent development. To this end, the reclamation of areas left after mining could be very effective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is finding a suitable alternative for the reclamation of the Jubon sand mine, by taking into account the potentials of the region to achieve the goal of sustainable development. Method: In this research, firstly the (previous) works done for the reclamation of similar mines were studied, then by examining the potentials of the region, different alternative for mine reclamation were proposed. Then, each of the alternatives was evaluated based on different criteria such as topography, slope, soil type, ownership, access road, beneficiary’s motivation and etc. Finally, in order to select the most appropriate alternative for mine reconstruction method of Similarity to Fuzzy Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) was used. Findings: Given that deciding on a suitable alternative for mine reclamation is a multi-criteria issue and the criteria are in conflict with each other. On the other hand, in decision-making issues, human thoughts are associated with uncertainty, and this uncertainty influenced the process of decision-making. The FTOPSIS method which takes into account all the indicators were very effective. Discussion and Conclusions: Land reclamation and environmental regeneration is an effective way to use land resources economically and help to coordinate people and land in the mining area. Successful and sustainable reclamation requires an interdisciplinary approach that leads to an integrated and effective plan to rehabilitate environmental, hydrological, aesthetic and recreational conditions. Therefore, the need for holistic approach in decision-making and the use of different people with different jobs, specialties, experiences, backgrounds and scientific perspectives, along with the use of multi-criteria fuzzy decision-making techniques can be very effective. Therefore, in this article, in order to determine the appropriate alternative for reconstruction by examining the effective infrastructure factors in reclamation and the use of various scientific resources, among the seven proposed alternatives, considering 17 effective criteria, the alternative of creating a business area was selected as a suitable option.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The countryside is among the settlements that are the scene of the formation, growth and adaptation of opportunities and threats that affect the quality of life and the way the needs of the inhabitants are met. On the one hand, access to services in cities and, on the other hand, urban ecological threats and the attraction of immigrant populations and their associated complications have created complex conditions in these villages that are of great importance to the biodiversity of these villages. The purpose of this study was to identify the biodiversity differences in the surrounding villages of Izeh. Method: The focus of the current study was the rural area located in 3 to 12 km of Izeh. The livability of these villages was investigated using 3 indices and 64 subindices. In this study which used a descriptive-analytic methodology to analyze data, t-test and Pearson correlation test in SPSS and Fuzzy TOPSIS technique was used. Findings: According to the results of the fuzzy TOPSIS decision making model, the villages around Izeh city are biodegradable in three categories: moderate, undesirable and unacceptable. Also, the results of T-test indicate that the western suburbs have better viability than the two eastern suburbs and the Netherlands. Finally, the results of Pearson correlation test show that there is a direct and significant relationship between the status of livelihoods and the population of the villages. Among the twelve components, pollution, housing, facilities and services, outlook and participation had the strongest relationship with the distribution of population in the villages around the city, respectively. Discussion and Conclusions: According to the findings, it has been shown that there is no improvement in the habitability score among the villages. Because none of the villages are acceptable and tolerable at the level of viability, and all of them are at moderate to unacceptable levels.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Electricity production and consumption are considered as two of the most important factors and premises in the growth and development of every country. We need to build power plants for electricity production given the high costs and investment needed for the construction of each power plant in electricity industry, it is necessary to select these power plants according to a wide range of criteria. Method: Using economic, environmental and technical criteria, this study attempts to prioritize different power plants in Iran via AHP, TOPSIS and VIKOR method. Findings: Environmental pollution indices, initial investment per kilowatt hour of electricity generation, maintenance costs, easy access to spare parts and the possibility of developing and increasing capacity were introduced the main indicators affecting prioritization of the power plants in Iran. In general, according to all indices studied in this study, environmental pollution has the most impact on the prioritization of power generation plants. Also, the indexes related to the amount of initial investment per kWh, maintenance costs, the possibility of developing and increasing capacity, and easy access to spare parts were considered as the most important factors. Discussion and Conclusions: The findings from the prioritization by each methods of Multiple Attribute Decision Making show that wind plants have the top priority in the strategic selection of electricity plant, and solar energy. Hydropower, small-scale (scattered), gas, steam, combined cycle and diesel respectively are the next priorities .Therefore, it is suggested that government and political organizations start to make foundations and infrastructure required for utilization of such energies in power plants given the illustrated prioritization.

        Background and Objective: Development of industry, agriculture and services, requires training of efficient workforce in technical and vocational fields. Knowing that human activity in these three sectors decreases the environmental quality, dealing with environmental degradation can be achieved by implementing long-term sustainable development education policies. Method: The present study is an applied research and aims to choose the best method for sustainable development education. For this purpose, first, the sustainable development competency criteria for technical and vocational graduates were identified by library studies and three different questionnaires were designed based on them. Then, DEMATEL Technique was used to identify the mutual interactions among the criteria. The obtained results were used for designing a network structure on the fuzzy ANP technique to assign weight to each criterion. Finally, the obtained weights were used to rank and select the best method for sustainable development education based on the TOPSIS technique. Since these techniques cannot resolve the ambiguity and uncertainty of verbal evaluations, the fuzzy triangular numbers were used in all the above-mentioned techniques. Findings: The results obtained in this study indicate that self-learning skills and proficiency in the environmental knowledge related to a particular technical and vocational field is the most important sub-criteria of sustainable development competence. Furthermore, group discussions were found to be the most appropriate teaching method for sustainable development education. Discussion and Conclusion: Due to the importance of sustainable development competence criteria in choosing the right method for sustainable development education, it is necessary to consider all aspects of knowledge, skills, attitude, development and growth, in order to strengthen the environmental attitude and behavior.

        Background and Objective: Tourism industry is one of the main sources of income, employment and infrastructure to achieve sustainable development. Growth of this industry in any country requires the proper strategy and effective management plan. In this study, planning and prioritization for five villages of Qeshm Island called Ramakan, Doulab, Souza, Hoomeh and Sallakh for tourism development are considered. Method: Using Delphi method, tourism criteria were identified in four main categories including, environmental criteria, tourism facilities and services criteria, cultural socioeconomic criteria and infrastructure criteria. Then tourism development prioritization for villages was obtained by TOPSIS method. Conclusion: The results showed that Hoomeh was the most suitable village for tourism development and Sallakh, Souza, Doulab and Ramakan were suitable respectively. Zoning the areas with good potential for coastal tourism would play a key role in regional development. Enjoying many and varied potentials of the region would not be feasible unless the multidimensional approach and planning are followed.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Recreation in the areas and parks outside the city has become a need for citizens. Therefore, the identification, selection, analysis and desigining of tourism sites outside the cities is necessary. Variety of methods yet have been innovated for site identification. The main question is that: are the result from different methods similar in the calculation process? The gole of this paper is to analyze the results of Pralong and TOPSIS methods in order to evaluate the capabilities of tourism sites. Method: First, the capability of tourism sites posisioned by the Shamrud was analysed. Then, these sites have been analysed using two methods of Pralong and TOPSIS and final site has been chosen. At the end these two methods were compared. Results: The whole results for choosing the final site were found to be similar. Also, the TOPSIS method reflected the differences between sites more intense than the Pralong method and finally both methods reached a similar choice that was equal with people choice. Conclusion: Combining Pralong and TOPSIS models to achieve applicable decisions will offer better results. Also, from the zones specified in the Shamrood riverbank zone, zone number 4 was selected as the best tourism site for designing Manuscript profile

        Value at Risk (VaR) is the maximum loss which could be incurred within a given time horizon, except for a small percentage, that its application has sharply increased after the 90s. Parallel to the increase in usage of value-at-risk in risk management are More
        Value at Risk (VaR) is the maximum loss which could be incurred within a given time horizon, except for a small percentage, that its application has sharply increased after the 90s. Parallel to the increase in usage of value-at-risk in risk management areas, validation of VaR measures has gain great importance. In prevalent back testing approaches, returns which are yielded from VaR estimators are not regarded as a criterion. It's may not be desirable for the investors who emphasize on return more than the risk. What distinguishes this study from other researches in the field of back testing VaR estimation models is the simultaneous consideration of actual return and loss(CVaR) which were yielded from VaR estimators  as criteria of risk and return that are the primary basis for financial studies. On the other hand, due to relativeness of risk and return in terms of investors, we considered the weight of these two indexes as fuzzy. In this paper, we constitute and optimize our risky portfolio with safety-first investor's rule. We need to estimate quantile of risky portfolio's return in objective function of safety-first investor's rule to optimize the portfolio. VaR estimators were used to calculate it. On the other hand, given the non- convexity of VaR function and also other reasons, we applied one of the most popular meta-heuristic models namely genetic algorithms for optimization. Our findings show that GEV and HS models are more conservative than parametric models (t-student and normal) and also have better performance in portfolio optimization. The empirical findings also indicate that safety-first investor will choose significantly different amounts of borrowing. Thus, the scale of the risky portfolio and the amount borrowed is diverse across methods. There is another interesting finding. Despite the computational simplicity of historical simulation method, it has shown the best performance of all.    Manuscript profile

        Selection of the investment strategy is a bothersome and sophisticated process because of taking into consideration a large number of quantitative and qualitative parameters like benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks. However, the parameters may have a significant influence on each other. A decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) can be used to construct a network relationship map. On the other hand, according to the information is incomplete, uncertainty is an inseparable part of making decision in solving the MCDM problems. Therefore, this paper proposes a new hybrid model based on analytic hierarchical process (AHP), DEMATEL, and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques under fuzzy environment to evaluate the problem of the selection of the investment strategy. For achieving the aim, a three-step process is presented to formulate the problem under consideration. First, the structure of the investment problem is broken into a simple hierarchy structure by using the AHP method to simply model the problem and calculate the importance weights of criteria by using a pairwise comparison process. Second, the interdependent relationships are identified by applying the DEMATEL technique. This technique is employed for computing the global weights of benefit, opportunities, cost, and risk (BOCR) factors. Finally, the fuzzy TOPSIS methodology is used for prioritizing the alternatives. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, a case study is investigated. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is capable of prioritizing the investment strategies. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Marine Structures projects, especially the construction of oil platforms, are faced with numerous risks in different stages of design, construction and exploitation, due to factors such as the extent of resources and Uncertainties. Identification and assessment of these risks as one of the most important measures in the risk management process, will have a significant role in better planning of these projects by managers. Method: In this study, in order to manage the risk of oil platforms project, first, all possible risks in the fields of engineering, executive, environment and passive defense were identified in a library form, and among them,  according to experts’ opinions, 26 risks Were identified as important and effective risks on the project. Finally, to assess and prioritize the risks, multi-criteria decision-making models were used in the fuzzy mathematics environment. Findings: In this regard, after setting the questionnaire to test the hypotheses of the research, relying on experts’ opinions, identified risks were ranked by TOPSIS model in fuzzy environment. Discussion and Conclusions: Survey of the resulting rankings shows that the option of incorrect design due to defect in geotechnical studies in the field of engineering,  the option of stopping executive operations due to lack of supply of providing necessary materials and equipment due to the sanctions in the Executive field, the option of arson and explosion in the field of passive defense and the option of sea water pollution in the field of environment as the most important risks affecting in each of the four areas of the project are studied.

        Performance evaluation is a process by which employees are studied and assessed officially at determined intervals. Identifying distinguished employees and giving them awards and thus creating incentives for them to improve their performance is among the main reasons for evaluating performance. This research intended to identify dimensions and attributes on evaluating employees of Environmental Offices using the BSC approach on performance evaluation, weighting them by the fuzzy analytic network process (FANP), and then ranking Offices employing a fuzzy TOPSIS technique. The statistical community was made up of 500 senior specialists and managers of Environmental Offices in Alborz, Tehran, and Esfahan Provinces. Using Cochran’s sample size formula, 217 employees constituted the sample volume. The attributes used on employee performance were first identified for the employees and managers of Environmental Offices in the financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth dimensions from the literature on the subject and from the views of the experts. The analytic network process technique was then employed for determining the dimensions, weighting the attributes, and measuring the degree of importance of each one. Following that, the TOPSIS technique was used to study three Offices with respect to the performance of the specialists and the managers. Results of weighting dimensions of performance evaluation of the employees in the Environmental Offices employing the analytic network process technique showed that the customer dimension ranked first in importance with the financial, internal business process, and learning and growth dimensions ranking second to fourth, respectively. Finally, considering the performance of each Office determined by using the fuzzy TOPSIS technique, suggestions were made to improve performance of Environmental Offices.        Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to identify and prioritize the teachers’ effective qualifications from the students’ perspectives by using AHP and TOPSIS methods. The study method was descriptive - survey research and the population was consisted of 1182 university graduate students in 2011-12 academic year. 291 students were selected by simple sampling method. The results showed that students were considered professional, technical and interpersonal qualifications as a lecturer as their first three priorities. The validity was confirmed by the experts and calculated by using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of HPV and TOPSIS as 0.783 and 0.849, respectively. The final results of the rankings on 17 criteria were reviewed in order to measure the ability of the students for understanding the content of first priority. The criterion of "the teacher appears" was allocated as the last priority. The most weight was assigned to "ability to understand the content by the students", "scientific literacy" and "research literacy". Manuscript profile

        The aesthetic value of landscape is considered as one of the most important natural resources created by the interaction of different environmental and visual variables. These values are among the factors that have a large impact on land quality and habitat conditions. This study was implemented with the aim of combining visual and environmental elements of aesthetic quality assessment of Gharahsoo watershed in the southwestern Golestan Province of Iran based on Fuzzy and multi criteria decision making models. First, the evaluation criteria, including various aspects of physical, biological, socio - economic and visual features of the study area were selected based on a literature review and expert’s opinion. Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method was used for weighting. In the next stage, data analysis was conducted based on a fuzzy technique for order preference by similar to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) method. The weighting results of evaluation criteria showed that the criteria vegetation type, waterfall viewshed, vegetation density, proximity to rivers and naturalness with values 0.206, 0.155, 0.114, 0.114 and 0.076 respectively, are priority to other criteria in the aesthetic quality assessment of the study area. Man-made elements, including urban and rural settlements, roads and power transmission lines have received the lowest priority. Also, the results proved that there are aesthetic quality classes in various types in the study area, including most of the forest landscape in the central and south of the study area, as well as the southeast and west parts.

        Distinguishing the susceptible areas to landslide using appropriate experimental models of landslide susceptibility mapping is one of the primitive and basic works to reduce probable damages and reduce risk in country's watersheds. In this research, thirteen factors, including altitude, slope, aspect, rainfall, plan curvature, profile curvature, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), Stream power index (SPI), distance from the river, distance from road, distance from the fault, lithology, and land use are identified as effective parameters in landslide occurrence in the studied area. The landslide landslide distribution map was prepared using Landsat 2017 satellite imagery and Field studies (2017). Then, the landslide susceptibility mapping was performed with three methods, including frequency ratio, entropy and TOPSIS. The results were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The area under the curve (AUC) of applied models shows the accuracy of 84, 87.7, and 91 percent for entropy frequency ratio and TOPSIS models, respectively. The results are indicative statistical models have a better accuracy in comparison with MCDM models and expert approaches. The results of the present study could be useful for better managing the flood affected areas and to reduce its damage. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: In the tourism industry, health tourism is a relatively emerging field of knowledge that can create a dynamic multi-disciplinary economic activity by integrating businesses in the fields of medicine, health, tourism and media. For the development of health tourism, the coordination and cooperation of different organizations and departments is needed, and on the other hand, its promotion and development by the media is of great importance. Method: Although relatively significant and extensive researches have been conducted on the nature of health tourism, but the issue of recognizing the role of modern media in attracting health tourists and using this opportunity by hospitals has been neglected, which is addressed in the present study. Accordingly, in this research, first by studying the subject literature and reviewing the background, 73 related components were identified and classified based on Laswell's communication model. The mentioned list was provided to the experts through a semi-open questionnaire in order to identify and rank the effective factors. Results: The results of the ranking of the options with the TOPSIS fuzzy technique showed that in the audience category, the variables focusing on health tourists from Muslim and neighboring countries are the most important. In the message type category, honesty variables have the highest importance. In the layer of the message transmitter, the variables of the Ministry of Health are the most important. Also, in the category of communication channels, the variables of strong and large content production in different Iranian and foreign sites are of the highest importance. Discussion: One of the most important factors that makes traveling to Iran attractive and choosing it among different destinations is the low cost of traveling to Iran. It should be said that this component is more attractive for the neighbors than for the western tourists. Also, the facilitation of travel is one of the factors that is directly effective in domestic tourism. Considering the level of per capita income and different deciles of income in the country and neighboring countries, it is necessary to provide facilities that all classes can travel, and this is about the neighboring countries. M is true. Among other issues that have a direct impact on travel to Iran from different countries, especially neighboring countries, is the possibility for easy and worry-free financial exchanges with Iran, because due to international sanctions, many incoming tourists Currency inside the country is a problem are faced to the extent that this factor is considered as one of the restrictions of travel to the country. In this regard, both the government and hospitals should look for conditions for easy exchange through various financial instruments. Manuscript profile

        Audit quality is one of the most important issues in the field of auditing and the capital market. Defining a framework for determining the quality of audit is important so the present study seeks to rank and compare the factors affecting audit quality from the perspective of different groups using a multi-attribute TOPSIS technique. In this research, first, 15 influencing factors were selected as quality indicators using library studies, and then these indicators were analyzed using TOPSIS multi-attribute technique by distributing questionnaires among four groups including: researchers and faculty members, audit institutes, chartered accountants, members of the audit committee, and financial managers of the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and they were rated and compared. From the view point of the of researchers and faculty members, auditing institutes, auditing committee members and chief financial managers, the most important effective factors on the audit quality are professional level of the auditor in the industry expertise, number of employed chartered public accountants and quality control score, respectively. The results of index comparison test indicates that from the view point of the four studied groups, there is a sensible difference between 15 abovementioned indicators. Manuscript profile

        The multitude of projects and the complexity of making decisions about them, as well as planning and allocating the organization's limited resources to the selected projects, are the main challenges that many project-oriented organizations face. Considering all organizational aspects in obtaining projects is the most key point in the success of project-oriented organizations. For this reason, choosing a portfolio of projects in a way that can meet the goals and strategy of the organization, in addition to considering the organizational limitations, is very vital. For this reason, in this research, while emphasizing the implementation of the portfolio management process in organizations, a two-stage model is presented for evaluating and prioritizing projects to form an optimal portfolio. By examining the life cycle of projects, first, 12 influential indicators in the evaluation of projects are extracted with the help of previous research, and after the confirmation of 8 important indicators by experts, they are analyzed with the help of fuzzyDematel technique, and the weight of each indicator is determined. In the next step, the proposed projects are evaluated and prioritized using the fuzzy TOPSIS technique. Finally, taking into account the capabilities, assets and limitations of the organization, the optimal portfolio of projects is formed and approved by the decision makers. By implementing the above model in a construction company active in public and private projects, it was found that the analysis of relationships between indicators helps a lot to choose the optimal portfolio and prepares the ground for achieving the set goals.

        Along with the advent of the industrial revolution and the use of machinery, Its maintenance also has been taken into account by authorities in order to increase the efficiency and equipment safety levels.  Preventive maintenance performs with a preventive approach based on accurate and precise data analysis, determining the cause of loss; incidents root cause identification and defining corrective actions in maintenance system. Mechanized systems of maintenance management in the organizations have been implemented with the same approach. Statistics show that more than 80% of CMMS projects will be failed. Barrier detection of the implementation of CMMS can help management to find solutions and as a result, resolve them. So this study has been done to ascertain and rank the critical factors of success and failure in the implementation of the system, using a combination of the two DEMATEL and fuzzy TOPSIS methods. Various factors can affect the success of system implementation projects. So, in this study after determining of the goal, in the first step, the main challenges associated with their underlying factors that are affecting the implementation of CMMS, by using of literature, experts identifying and tracing their hierarchy will be discussed. In the second step, by using of the fuzzy DEMATEL to evaluate the relationships between criteria and the weighting of criteria will be measured considering the hierarchy. After determination of the weight of each criterion, as the third step fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to rank all the factors and sub-criteria. The results of using this hybrid approach (abovementioned methodology), indicated that did not select the right contractor, has the greatest impact on CMMS implementation in the organization.

        Heavy transportation plays a leading role in the construction and development of infrastructure of industries. Consequently, transportation of heavy, expensive equipment has drawn the attention of many organizations around the world. This paper proposes a multicriteria decision-making model to assess the performance of firms dealing with the logistics and transportation of heavy equipment. First, a number of evaluation criteria were determined by reviewing research works in this area, interviewing experts and using the Delphi method. Afterward, a panel of experts compared the evaluation criteria, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative importance of the evaluation criteria. Then, Fuzzy Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) was utilized to assess the performance of firms active in the area of heavy equipment transportation. Finally, the assessment procedure was conducted by ELimination Et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE). A case study of firms active in the heavy transportation within oil, gas and petrochemical industries in Iran was used to implement the proposed multicriteria framework. Results of both Fuzzy TOPSIS and ELECTRE methods showed that the A7 organization is the leading one in the transportation of heavy industrial equipment.

        Because of importance and complexity of portfolio management issue, there have been many articles and books on the subject of project evaluation and selection, discussing over one hundred different techniques and tools. This tools and techniques specify a prioritized projects list that should be selected for final allocation. Usually, using financial approaches can’t create an optimal portfolio especially in projects that have more uncertainty, this approaches can make wrong results. In these cases, these financial approaches should be combined with other approaches (such as strategic approaches) in order to make a balanced portfolio that is aligned with organization’s strategies and increase profitability and strategic adaption of projects. Besides, various investments are evaluated and selected differently and classification of projects in different portfolio allows organizations to evaluate, prioritize and select similar projects in the same portfolio by using similar tools and techniques. In this paper, we selected agriculture field as the case study and the manner of evaluating, ranking and conducting of projects by using investment projects categorizations and Delphi, AHP, and TOPSIS method has been discussed. By determining the type of business and investment and local criteria for each categorization, the results of this paper can be used in similar cases. Manuscript profile

        Determining the leanness of different organizations is one of the key factors of progress into establishing a system without wastes and maximizing productivity in whole supply chain management. Lean manufacturing as a management philosophy concentrates on eradicating wastes in the whole value chain of a product. Using the improved dimensional analysis and its conversion to the standard form, this paper aims at identifying and analyzing 6 main factors and 35 sub-factors. Also, we used multi-criteria decision-making techniques according to the direct role of experts and differentiation of their votes to the specified alternatives. Analytic hierarchical process and Fuzzy-Topsis were used to define the linguistic weights of experts in our model. Additionally, linguistic values were parameterized by triangular fuzzy numbers to optimizing the decision making methods and avoid vagueness. The results show that the degree of adaptability of Rose Fire Place Company with lean manufacturing factors and characteristics is 0.52. Also, the results indicate the distance of various parts of the production management with respect to lean manufacturing. Finally, this approach is recommended for being used in every assembly industries.   Manuscript profile

        Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for assessing the performances of a group of decision-making units (DMUs) that utilize multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. This paper introduces two virtual DMUs called ideal DMU and anti-ideal DMU into the interval DEA. The resultant interval DEA models are, respectively, referred to as the interval DEA with ideal and anti-ideal DMUs. One evaluates DMUs from the viewpoint of the optimistic efficiency, while the other evaluates them from the perspective of the pessimistic efficiency. The two distinctive interval efficiencies are combined to form a comprehensive index called the relative closeness to the ideal DMU just like the well-known technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution approach in multiple attribute decision making. The relative closeness index is then used as the evidence of overall assessment of each DMU, based on which an overall ranking for all the DMUs can be obtained. We also present an example on evaluating the performance of twenty bank branches which shows that the proposed interval DEA approach is a simple, efficient, and practical method for performance measurement in real-life situations.

        The purpose of this research is to identify and prioritize common social crimes in sports spaces and places in the country. This research is of an applied type, which was conducted by a survey method and using a panel of experts (45 people). Two hierarchical methods (AHP) and TOPSIS were used for prioritization. Spearman's rank test was also used. The results show that twelve social crimes are common in sports environments, which are classified into two light and heavy categories. The weight of light crimes has been estimated higher than serious crimes, which indicates the possibility of more occurrence of this type of crimes (0.456 vs. 0.388). 3 items are the same in both AHP and TOPSIS methods. In this way, the crime of "not paying attention to the regulations established in the sports environment" has the highest rate in sports spaces and places, and the crime of "conflict leading to murder in the sports environment" has the lowest rate of occurrence in sports environments. . According to the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient obtained for light and heavy crimes (95.3% and 88.2%, respectively), it is clear that there is a high correlation between the two methods used both in general and in detail. This shows the high degree of coordination between the results obtained from the two methods used for prioritization in this research. In general, Manuscript profile

        Solid wastes are an integral part of human life, and the production of these wastes in different quantities and qualities is one of the greatest environmental problems of the present age. To reduce the negative consequences of the waste, the use of new tools and technology to find a suitable landfill location is necessary. Today, geographic information systems are widely used in environmental planning. The central part of the city of Shahindezh, with daily production of 10 ton of waste per day, due to the lack of equipment and inappropriate location of landfill, has caused environmental, social and many health problems. In this research, in order to determine the proper location for solid landfills in the city of Osco, various indices such as Lithology, land use, vegetation cover, soil profile, topography, distance from urban areas and distance from main road, main waterways and   Subsurface, residential areas, wells and faults in landfill location have been considered.  For mapping capability, firstly, forbidden areas is deleted and 9 layers of weighing information, the process of analyzing of final map is prepared. Finally, proper areas of landfill in Osku city have been identified based on the location of the site in the form of four suitable and not suitable classifications. Based on the results of this study, 3 suitable zone were selected which were compared with each other after field visits from zone using TOPSIS method. Area having number 0 , in northeastern of Osku, based on the scores and having characteristics such as appropriate distance to population centers and access roads, proper slope, proper lithology, lack of vegetation and etc, with the least environmental impacts is determined as the preferred option.

        Supplier Selection is a Multiple-Attribute Decision- Making (MADM). The Grey Decision-Making method is a proper technique for ranking suppliers in cases where the existing qualitative attribute is in an uncertain environment. Taking Advantages of the grey theory concept, linguistic variables areturned in togrey numbers and then used in MADM techniques. But an important issue in most MADM techniques such asTOPSISmethod is independencerequest of attributes, which if notconsidered, may lead to false results. The proposed approach in this article is Factor Analysis(FA) technique for determination of independent factors and their substitution with attributes in grey TOPSIS method.In the proposed approach,independent factors areobtained by FA technique after determination ofthe weights of attributes and making initial grey decision- making matrix. Weight of any factor is obtained from average of the attributes' weight related to its factor. Alsocomponents of the grey decision- making matrix after FA rank will be obtainedfrom average of attribute components related to any factor in initial decision- making  matrix. Finally, the suppliers are being ranked by using grey possibility degree.  In this paper, the suggested approach  has been used to ranking  the five suppliers of  SazehGostarSaipa company.   Manuscript profile

        The present research aims to identify and prioritize the motivational factors influencing knowledge sharing among an organization’s knowledge workers, to provide managers with a framework for personnel’s knowledge sharing, and to increase personnel’s willingness to share knowledge in order to overcome organization’s current problems. In knowledge economy, knowledge-based organizations specifically count on their personnel. Knowledge sharing is important for organizations because it enables them to improve their skills and provides them with value, credibility, and competitive advantage. When an organization’s personnel share their knowledge and personal experience, innovation occurs. In order to answer the research questions, credible techniques of Fuzzy-multiple Criteria Decision Making (F-MCDM) were used. Fuzzy-Analytical Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) technique was used to rank the criteria and to determine their relative importance. Finally, Fuzzy-Technique for Order-Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (F-TOPSIS) was used to prioritize the options of hierarchical model (four stages of knowledge sharing process). According to the ranking results, “trust in management” is ranked first. Moreover, after reviewing the effect of every 21 indicator on four stages of knowledge sharing process in the studied context, “internalization” was found to be of more importance compared to other stages of knowledge sharing process.

        abstractOne of the most important dimensions of communities development is health development, in the other hand, is amount and quality of accessing of people to healthcare services.In this line, the present study is to investigate and evaluate the degree of enjoyment of townships of Fars Province from healthcare indices proportionate to the population of each township. The present study is an applied one which uses a descriptive-analytical method. After extracting healthcare indices from the annual statistic book of 2011 of Fars Province, weighting indices was conducted using AHP method and then, using models of topsis,Vikor and morris, the townships of the province were ranked and the final rank of each township was obtained using an integration method mean ratings. The results of the present study indicate that Variable of access to health sector indicators is not distributed normally in Fars province and there are significant differences among the townships of the province in terms of enjoying healthcare indices in such a way that Jahrom, Fasa and Shiraz, with great differences are in the first ranks and Kazeroon, kavar and Kherameh Kazeroon are in the last ranks. The value of the calculated dispersion coefficient indicate the lack of equitable distribution of healthcare indices in Fars province. Further, the result of pearson was obtained as 0.196 which indicates that there is a weak correlation between population rank and the rank of the enjoyment of townships from healthcare indices.

        Abstract Realization of national development and resistance economy requires an understanding of the existing economic possibilities and capabilities of country’s different regions. The issue is that has less attention to that subject in national development planning. In most cases, the national macro indicators are considered for regional policy makings. This paper’s main purpose is the classification of the provinces based on regional economic development indicators. First, statistical data of 72 indicators have been extracted from recent censuses, national and regional accounts and official statistics from the Statistical Center of Iran statistics books. Then, using the TOPSIS method and coefficient of variation or C.V. Index, distribution of indicators were analyzed and provinces are ranked. The results show that Tehran Province with a final score of 0/67 ranked as first, and Chaharmahalo Bakhtiaari province with a final score of 0/18 ranked in last at province ranking, so there is a significant difference in the mean ranking (is equal to 0.5), between different provinces of the country. As a result, in the current situation, based on macroeconomic indexes of regional development there are quite different between regions in means of economic indicators and is required for proper economic policy making and spatial planning in accordance with the national and regional economic capabilities in the country. Finally, the recommendations based on the findings of the study such as implementation of spatial planning have been presented. Key words: national and regional accounts, economy, regional development, rankings, provinces, Iran. Manuscript profile

        Unstable natural slopes by mass movements are one of the phenomena that creates most damages to human after flood and earthquake. These movements occur under the influence of parameters such as temperature difference, precipitation, glacial, height, slope, geology, land form, distance from fault, distance from river, distance from roads and ... Therefore in addition to identify levels having the risk of slope movements this study aims to analyze the most suitable model to recognize these zones by field data and using above information and modeling methods such as AHP and TOPSIS. The results indicated that AHP model presented the most suitable zoning of slope movements. Based on the map resulted from this model  the areas with high potential slope movements had slope between 10 and 20 percent and height about 1600 to 1900 meters and they were composed of limestone and included 28% of the study area.

        Cities are developed on the areas requiring interactions with natural characteristics. In physical development of the cities, it is necessary to consider natural structure of their environment. Arak's physical geography condition shows that this city located in bad condition of sedimentology structure. Therefore, development of the city needs to study about city bed sedimentology and be determine thickness, of sediments. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the suitable areas for physical development of the city in the future. Also found new physical index for developing of city based on morphological features is aimed.  For the objective, the indicators of the analysis are geomorphological landforms, climatology, topographic roughness coefficient, tectonic influenced factors, natural land uses, runoff height in the city and city relation with Mighan Desert where is located in the north of Arak City. TOPSIS model has been employed to prioritize the proposed areas. The effective weights of the physical variables for planning the city future development are topography, climatology, petrology etc., that have been determined by expert opinions using AHP model that impacts in the research targets. For assessment of TOPSIS model result, sediment random sampling has been conducted in the region in depth of 40 cm. Sediment analysis represented that the area is located in flood bed which the sediments were accumulated by flash floods that has unfavorable conditions for the establishment of municipal utilities.

        Various factors such as morphometric of the basin, rainfall, soil type and vegetation have an important role in the potential of flooding. Flood hazard mapping is very important for catchment Management. Catchment morphometric parameters control its hydrologic response. Understanding a basin’s response to high rainfall based on geomorphological indices can be valuable when studying flood hazard in ungauged catchments. The study area, Galandrud catchment is located in the northeastern Alborz, Mazandaran province and south of Royan city. In this research, Galandrud catchment divided to 12 sub- catchment. Twelve criteria were chosen; including catchment area, drainage density, compactness coefficient, circularity ratio, confluence ratio, area ratio, length ratio, basin slope, river gradient, concentration time, mean annual precipitation and curve number. To quantify potential of flood these parameters are integrated with a technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The TOPSIS technique is one of the multi criteria decision making method, which, it is defined as the alternative that is simultaneously farthest from the negative ideal and closest to the ideal alternative. The weight for each indicator is determined based on Shannon’s entropy. The results of the TOPSIS analyses indicated that sub-catchments 12, 10 and 3 with closeness coefficient 0.548, 0.486 and 0.462 have ranking 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Manuscript profile

        Flood is one of the natural disasters which every year cause to great life and property damage in different parts of world. Determination and prioritization of flooding in sub-watersheds with the aim of setting priorities in policy and management practices, is of utmost importance. In present study sub-watersheds of Taleghan watershed based on flooding potential were prioritized using AHP and TOPSIS techniques. Criteria considered for prioritization were the most important criteria affecting on rainfall infiltration, runoff and flooding potential. They include sub-watershed area, compactness coefficient, drainage density, average slope of sub watershed, mean elevation of sub watershed, the percentage of impervious area, curve number, main channel slope, main channel length, and concentration time. Results indicated that the three criteria of impervious area, CN and main channel slope, respectively, with relative weights of 0.283, 0.231 and 0.163 were the most significant parameters relating to flooding potential in sub watershed. The final results derived from combination of AHP and TOPSIS also showed that among the 16 sub-watersheds of Taleghan, three sub-watersheds of Hasanjun, Narian and Shahrak, respectively, have the highest potential of flooding.

        Nowadays, achievement to comprehensive development in settlements is concerns for regional planners and moving toward sustainable development is final goal for them. Since that social justice is basic concepts of sustainable development so in regional planning process, identifying of existing situation and getting environmental abilities and potentials of regions is very important. It is so clear that thorough study of economic, social, cultural issues and better understanding of community needs are basic for balanced development in geographical areas. Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) techniques are one of the effective methods for identifying and evaluating many alternatives based on some criteria with different degrees of importance so this is a High performance technique in order to evaluation of regional development and classification. This method include some technique which we have used three of them simultaneously in this article. They are TOPSIS, ELECTRE and VIKOR. By analyzing the quantitative indices in six categories economic, demographic, educational, cultural-religious, health and infrastructure criteria we have determined levels of development among counties in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province. Using three techniques In addition to providing comparative study, we will have a high accuracy in regionalization. We can conclude the counties in this province are suited in various levels of development and those which are adjacent to Isfahan province are more developed. The order of developed counties is: Shahrekord, Lordegan, Borujen, Kiar, farsan, Kouhrang, Ardal. Manuscript profile

        Housing today is considered as one of the most basic human needs after food and clothing, and due to its economic nature, it is one of the main categories of urban and rural communities. With the increasing population growth and the development of urban life, the need for housing has also increased and the need for planning in this area is more prominent. One of the most effective tools for measuring the status, decision making and planning of housing is quantitative and qualitative indicators of housing. In this research, using these indices, we investigate the housing situation in Isfahan province and compare these cities with each other. The required data have been derived from the results of the general census of population and housing in Isfahan province in 2011 and the information obtained from the statistics center site. Eventually, by using TOPSIS technique, cities have been ranked in terms of level of development in the housing sector and the results have been analyzed using GIS software. Based on the results of the study, "Esfahan" ranked first as the most developed city and city of "Fereydoun Shahr" as the most deprived city and the other cities are located in a spectrum between them, then using the SWOT technique the internal factors were identified and some approaches for using the opportunities and overcoming the weaknesses were proposed.   Manuscript profile

        During any decision including planning, management, evaluation and control, if we are seeking for a favorable condition, we should take steps through making a visionary and rational equilibrium between areas in terms of acquiring facilities and services. The first step alongside this movement is to recognize the current condition and facilities and its restrictions. The method and the approach used in this descriptive-analyzing research are practical. The required data were gathered using the statistics from the statistical book of Hamedan province in 1390 and 11 indicators were used to evaluate cities of the province in terms of acquiring health-treatment services. The data analysis was done using the Shannon Entropy technique, TOPSIS (FTOPSIS), as well as Excel and SPSS software. In order to draw maps, the Arc GIS software has been used. The obtained results indicated that the distribution of health indicators all over the Hamedan province is uneven and polar, and there is no rational connection between the population and the level of health development, so that the city of Hamedan, which is the administrative and political center of the province, is the most developed city and other cities of the province are in high, low, medium and deprived states. The results of the research reveals the necessity for a justice-based vision in planning and struggling for creating a more optimal spatial distribution of these services and indicators in the Hamedan province more than ever before.

        The increasing growth of urbanization in terms of number and population in the last two decades without fundamental changes in urbanization patterns has caused many economic, social and environmental problems for its inhabitants. In order to overcome these problems, the idea of ​​sustainable urban development and in line with it, new approaches and strategies such as smart urban growth have been proposed by urban thinkers. Smart urban growth is one of the new models of urban planning to organize the development process of cities and respond to the scattered urban growth. In fact, the smart growth strategy seeks to reshape cities and lead them to a viable community with access to a favorable environment, an integrated urban transportation system, urban congestion, and mixed uses. In the present article, the five urban areas of Marand have been studied in terms of urban land use according to the indicators of smart urban growth strategy. The research method in this article is "applied" and concerning the method is "descriptive-analytical". Using the AHP method, the desired indicators have been weighted and using the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision model have been analyzed and evaluated in the five areas of Marand based on smart urban growth indicators. The results of TOPSIS model show significant differences in terms of smart urban growth index and urban land uses in Marand urban areas. So that District 3 of Marand with a TOPSIS score of 0.1133 is in the first rank and District 5 with a TOPSIS score of 0.0128 is in the last one. Due to the inequality of areas, while paying attention to the strategy of smart urban growth in the whole city, districts 1 and 5, which are less developed, should be considered in the priority of development plans by city planners and authorities.

        In the context of Hamadan, recognized as a significant new urban center in the country, substantial challenges in urban management processes have emerged, encompassing both organizational and external dimensions. Recent years have witnessed mismanagement in service delivery, spatial injustices, physical-spatial disparities, lack of transparency in presenting plans and programs, and an increase in civic problems, exacerbating issues within the city. This complex scenario has the potential to escalate into serious regional crises. Acknowledging the urgency of addressing this matter and emphasizing the need for regional studies, the present research investigates the indicators of good governance in Hamadan, categorized by different regions. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizing a quantitative method, the study involves experts from the Hamadan management team, with a sample size of 35 individuals. The research findings, analyzed through average test models in SPSS software and the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making model in MATLAB software, reveal that the good governance indicators in Hamadan are not in a desirable state, particularly with districts 3 and 2 facing severe deficiencies in urban governance indicators.

        Environmental pollution and the price volatility of fossil energy sources that are used in power plants made us turn to alternative energy source. The use of sustainable energy, especially solar energy, can be the best option for power supply in power generation plants. Suitable site for the construction of power plants due to the location impact on the amount and cost of energy production and transport is essential. Hormozgan Province's population and industrial growth has started moving astonishingly. This province has a great potential to exploit the plants converting solar energy into electrical energy. The criteria used in previous research to locate the radiation was distance from road and slope of the ground; while, in this study the sundial measures, the slope away from populated areas, distance from roads, distance from transmission lines, land use and limitations layer criteria for locating the plant are considered. The decision rule via TOPSIS is used. Based on this method 18584443816 square kilometer of land area of province was recognized very suitable class to build a solar power plant. The results of this method were evaluated using ground control. This implied fulfilling all the selection criteria at a quite appropriate and satisfactory  levels and ended up with areas of most appropriate for establishing and developing power plant projects.

        Regional planning and development aiming at reducing regional disparities, are two important issues in developing countries. Identifying and analyzing the situation in various fields of regional development is the first step in the planning process. Then the bottlenecks and constraints in areas can be characterized and removed. In other words, the allocation of funds and resources among different regions, identifying their position in the region and enjoying the benefits of ranking levels are all essential. The purpose of this study was to analyze and regionalize Kerman province as far as the physical indicators of education are considered. The main problem of the present study was that the cities in the province suffer from the inequality in education. Thus, determining the inequality may help the researchers in poverty reduction in the area. The research is a descriptive – analytical one. The data have been chosen from the statistical yearbook of population and housing census of the year 1390. These data have been analyzed based on 21 indicators, which are mainly physical factors affecting the education sector. The results showed that Kerman province can be classified into four main levels: 39% of its cities in the over-concentration rate; 21% in the above- concentration rate, 30% are in the mid- concentration rate, and less than 9% of the cities under- concentration rate.

        In order to make decision about appropriate policies related to resource allocation in economic sections, the identification of comparative advantage is very important. To do this, finding the potentials of the area selected in favor of national objectives is a necessity. Iran economy has a high level of unemployment nationally and locally and so the reduction of this rate can be one of the most vital purposes of any developmental programs. However, different regions of the country have various comparative advantages in creating jobs. According to the plan predicted, industry is considered as the base of development plans in Yazd. The share of Yazd province in job creation based on population and number of unemployment is envisaged more than average. However, geographical and climate conditions of Yazd province made agricultural development impossible. On the other hand, richness of minerals and human resources in Yazd made manufacturing industries as the concentration point in long-term plans. This study by investigating Yazd manufacturing industries identifies comparative advantages of these industries based on employment at the 4-digit industry levels during the second, third and fourth developmental plans. TOPSIS technique is used for ranking the advantages. The results represent that food and beverages industries as well as textiles, non-metallic mineral products, and electrical machinery industries have more comparative advantages in Yazd.

        Todays, tourism is considered as the most important income generating activities, specially in order to reduce dependence on oil in the country and in some recent decades, has attracted the attention of many scholars, planners, and planners in various fields of science to the development and implementation of the industry's expansion plans. Among the topics and programs that require special attention to provide tourists satisfaction and boost the tourism market of the country is the topic of tourism infrastructure. This study was conducted to determine the distribution of tourism infrastructure in Markazi province and ranking of cities in terms of level of utilization using Topsis-Saw technique and to determine the distribution of infrastructure, Pearsonian's Skewness Coefficient was used. The present study was descriptive-analytic and the required data had been gathered by documentary and library method. The results show that counties Arak, Saveh and Khomein and also, counties Khandab and Farahan had the first and the last grades, respectively. Also, the results of using Pearsonian's Skewness Coefficient showed the imbalance and weakness of the cities of the province in terms of having a tourism infrastructure. Therefore, prioritizing the cities of this province in terms of criteria such as tourism potential, sphere of influence, developmental stimulus regions, and incentive to invest in order to optimize the distribution of infrastructure is imperative to review and take serious action which had to be reviewed and taken action seriously in development and logistics documents of the Markazi province.   Manuscript profile

        According to the decision of the Supreme Council of Unbanning and Architecture of Iran (2005), burnout in urban areas "reduction of efficiency" of one texture compared to other textures of the city was introduced and in the decision of 1385, only three indicators of instability, impenetrability and microdermabrasion were sufficient. However, studies have identified quantitative and qualitative weaknesses in determining these indicators. The present study aims to rank the indicators for determining the range of dysfunctional textures of Inner-City, with a case study on the city of Rasht. This research is practical and documentary in terms of purpose. After documentary studies and review of the literature, the indicators were identified and ranked, and thus, by applying the opinion of 8 experts, two techniques of process of analytic hierarchy analysis and preferential prioritization based on similarity to ideal responses were used. After the indexing process, 22 indicators were explained in relation to the identification of dysfunctional intermediate textures of cities, and in terms of environmental, economic and social conditions of Rasht city and the application of expert opinion, 12 qualified indicators were finally ranked. The results show five dimensions: physical, social, functional, economic and environmental. In addition to the three permanent indicators of instability, impenetrability and microdermabrasion, indicators such as poverty and deprivation; High level of unemployment, poor educational status, high population density, age of buildings, uncertainty of ownership, and lack of open and green space indicate the trans-physical dimensions of dysfunctional inner-urban that can be identified in the country's metropolises.

        Due to the expansion of industrialization and development of technology which focuses on quantitative aspect of human life and also due to the ignorance from qualitative aspects of human life, in these recent decade life quality has been mainly considered by western human scientists and thinkers. The goal of this research is to investigate and compare life quality in 3 dimensions which are  social, economic and somatic one and 17 indicators through Shannon Entropy in Juybar neighborhoods.in this respect, in order to eliminate differences of scale among indicators and calculate mixed indicator, standardization method has been used. Also TOPSIS model has been used as a multi-criteria decision making method. The results obtained from this study shows that the Juybar’s decuple neighborhoods have been divided to 3 groups of less possessed (poor), semi-possessed and well possessed (wealthy). In Juybar city Bala Mahale and Taze Abad neighborhoods are considered as less possessed, Heydar Abad, Javan Mahale, Baghban Mahale and Shahrake Sepah neighborhoods are considered as semi-possessed and Kalagar Mahale, Seraj Kala, Kord Mahale and Faghih Mahale neighborhoods are considered as well possessed.at the end by using GIS software, adequate map for each of these levels was drawn.

        Lack of resources and facilities in urban areas makes essential the efficiency assessment of areas. So, resources should be allocated in such a way that most services can be offered through existing resources. To identify the development or underdevelopment of areas, it is necessary to study inequalities patterns and differences between them, and also, studying the degree of superiority of one place compared to the structure of similar locations in the city. The recognition  of the existing differences among different areas in the city in terms of enjoyment of various indicators, in order to be aware of the development or deprivation levels, reduce regional disparities and set programs in accordance with the conditions and facilities of each area is an unavoidable necessity. In this study, attention has been paid to determining and ranking the degree of development of  urban areas in Rasht based on 63 indicators in five educational, health care, socio-cultural, economic-commercial, and urban civil installations. To achieve the objectives of the study, the Numerical Taxonomy model, Morris Model and TOPSIS model have been used. By applying these models and analysis, each of the five areas of Rasht city, the ranking and the level of development of each area has been determined separately. The results of the study show that more facilities and services have been focused on the city center. Therefore, inequality in five areas is observed with significant difference. As such, in analyzing all three models, areas one and two have more favorable situation, but area five is of the most deprived regions. In fact, the farther the areas are from the center of the city, the lower facilities and services they will receive. This is the result of polar policies growth, as a result of which, all of the facilities and power are concentrated on one or more areas, and other areas act as marginal. Due to the nature and the difference in method of ranking the indexes, degree of development of study areas in each model is different from the other model. In order to achieve the same result in the assessment of development areas, percentage of changes, intensity of changes, and coefficient of variation were calculated and the results were extracted based on the divided indicators. - Manuscript profile

        The aim of this research was to establish health, safety and environment management system in the operation phase of one of the dams in Northern Zagros zone using TOPSIS and Entropy methods based on three steps. The first step was risk factor identification. In this step, a survey was done to identify which risks were caused by operation phase activities in the three groups, physical-chemical risks, biological risks and human risks. The second step was risk assessment. The risks were introduced in three criteria, severity, probability and vulnerability, and the environmental risk parameters were scored using expert opinion. The risks were prioritized with Entropy and software TOPSIS Solver 2014 methods. As a result thermal stratification in dam reservoir, disconnection of habitat of downstream and upstream and prevalence of parasitic diseases gained the highest scores in operation phase. Finally, the third step was establishing health, safety and environment management system based on five steps. The first step was policy and objective. The second step was offering environment, health and safety plan. The third step was program implementation. The fourth step was monitoring and control on program, air quality, sewage and residue. The fifth step was the audit. This step consisted of solving program implementation problems and change of monitoring plan.   Manuscript profile

        Economic development and the provision of facilities and welfare is considered as one of the most vital objectives of a society. Various methods proposed to achieve the same. Several societies have developed due to industrialization. Alternatively, numerous countries have moved towards this goal by conducting regional planning in the form of spatial planning studies. The crucial point for planning is to have precise data on the current situation and even the terrain and prospect of the regions. In the current study, using the available statistics, the industrial situation of the provinces of the Region 3 has been studied and compared. The provinces include Kermanshah, Hamedan, Lorestan and Ilam. Furthermore, using the AHP method of grading the importance of each of the indicators affecting the industry making use of Expert Choice software, the weight of each criterion has been obtained. Accordingly, the provinces are compared and ranked through the TOPSIS method using the obtained coefficients of importance and using the collected statistics. The results obtained indicate that Kermanshah province is currently in a better situation than other provinces. The results of estimating the prospect of the provinces also indicate that the situation of Hamedan province will be better in the future. Ilam province has the worst position and prospect in both estimates. Therefore, with regards to the existing conditions of the provinces, it is suggested that more attention should be paid to the industrial sector of Ilam province. Eventually, as experts are of opinion that labor productivity as well as the added value of high-tech industries are more significant, the necessary planning should be made to improve these two indicators.

        The need for sustainable development is to have regional justice in development. The imbalance in the regional justice will be an obstacle to sustainable development in long term. Understanding the development of regions is the first step to eliminate the regional disparities. In the present study two periods 1390 and 1375 has been chosen to assess the level of developments of provinces. According to the research literature and access to data and information, various educational and cultural, housing and infrastructural, demographic and sanitary indicators has been selected, due to the each indicator, the necessary adjustments has been made. To determine the degree of the developments of Iran’s provinces, two methods of taxonomy and TOPSIS has been used. The obtained results show that despite the reduction in the standard deviation and range of the provincial development index, there are some regional disparities in Iran yet and center-periphery test pattern is confirmed for both periods. Due to the Potential differences in different regions, applying the same program for all areas is not possible. Accordingly it is recommended that in the context of national development plans, regional plans with a focus on regional capacities must be done So that sustainable development be achieved for all areas.

          The main purpose of this study is to evaluate different maintenance strategies for machinery and equipment. We attempt to select the most appropriate maintenance strategy for increasing availability and reliability levels of production facilities without a great increasing of investment. Since the nature of maintenance strategy selection is a multi-criteria problem, so decision makers to evaluation of criteria and alternatives using of uncertain preferences. Therefore, in this study we will use the concept of Rough set theory that are efficient in such circumstances. In fact, in this study first we will use confirmatory factor analysis to evaluating of research criteria and factors and then we will use the concept of Rough theory to convert preferences of decision makers to interval numbers and Multi-criteria decision-making methods (Rough AHP & Rough Topsis) for evaluating and ranking the maintenance strategies. It is noteworthy that in this paper, TOPSIS method with Rough data has been developed. finally, in order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method, we have used it in a case. The results show that using such model can help decision makers to make better decisions in the absence of full information. Manuscript profile

        Given the very essential role of banks in Iran, their improper operations might generate a critical environment. The present study seeks to examine the efficiency and productivity of Iran commercial banks for a period from 2007 to 2011 by using Fuzzy TOPSIS, DEA and Malmquist index. For implementing this model, the significance of the inputs (total assets, equity, total costs and total debts) and outputs (total revenue, E-banking, granted loans and receiveables and currency trades) are calculated by using Fuzzy TOPSIS method to be used in DEA and Malmquist index. The findings reveal that the total assets (among inputs) and granted loans and receivables (among outputs) have the highest significance. The results of banks’ efficiency document that Mehr-e-Iranian, Sina, Sarmayeh, Pasargad, Karafarin, Maskan, Toseh-e-Saderat and Eghtesad-e-Novin have the best operation. The findings related to productivity also indicate that the average productivity rate of the banks are negative over the years from 2007 to 2011; except for Melli, Mellat, Sanat Madan, Saderat, Sepah, Tejarat, Keshavarzi, Parsian, Karafarin and Post Bank (the average productivity rate of these banks are more than one).

        Actinomycetes are known as the largest reservoir of natural antibiotics in the world. For this reason, due to their ability to produce various antibiotics and other compounds of therapeutic importance, they are considered the golden microorganisms of the 21st century. The purpose of this research is the isolation and molecular identification of actinomycetes with antimicrobial properties from agricultural soils in the native areas of Guilan province. Soil samples were collected from the southwestern agricultural areas of Guilan province. Serial dilution was used to isolate actinomycetes. Then the morphological, physiological, and biochemical identification of the samples was done and finally, the molecular identification of the isolates was done using 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Antimicrobial activity was investigated against pathogenic microorganisms. A total of 14 isolates were identified.2 isolates with more antimicrobial properties were selected. Based on the results of phylogenetic studies and 16S rRNA sequencing, Amycolatopsis roodepoortensis strain EA7 with 99.63% confidence, and Streptomyces microflaveus strain EA6 with 93.92% confidence were identified. The isolated bacteria had more antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive pathogenic microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus and standard sample Staphylococcus aureus PTCC 1112. This research is the first report on the identification of actinomycetes with antimicrobial properties in the agricultural soils of the southwestern regions of Guilan province located in the Alborz mountains. The identification of the rare strain of Amycolatopsis roodepoortensis strain EA7 from the northern regions of Iran makes the soils of these regions very valuable. Manuscript profile
