Nowadays, governments and people have concluded that they have to support the process of green production and consumption. The aim of this process is less contamination, low consumption, high quality and optimum utilization of earth resources, in such a way that the next generation would have healthy environment. This issue makes the green design in current competitive environment into a challenge which organizations will face. In this regard, in order to optimum control of raw material consumption, water, energy and fuel, creation and disposal of wastes and residues as well as prevention of environmental pollution, the environmental managing accounting (EMA) tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) are used.The purpose of this study is introducing a comprehensive method with integrating concepts of life cycle assessment(LCA), life cycle costing (LCC), by fuzzy analytical hieratically process (FAHP) to measure being green product and green design for assessment the risk of environmental effects and the performance of companies who are active in ceramic and tile production industry. Five specifications proposed by European Union (EU, 2009) for assessment of environmental effects and four traits developed by Sarkis Model (2003) for evaluation organization's performance are used.

The indices used were included four main indices, water resources, land use, climate and soil and 22 related sub-indices (Soil texture, soil depth, soil salinity, soil acidity, distance from the river, water volume, surface water salinity, groundwater depth, groundwater salinity, mean annual temperature, mean minimum annual temperature, mean maximum annual temperature, minimum absolute temperature, maximum absolute temperature, mean annual rainfall, mean annual relative humidity, mean annual wind speed, shrublands around the rivers, sandy hills, Jihad Nasr lands, empty lands around the Jihad Nasr channels, empty lands around the water resources). Maps of these factors were prepared using Google Earth satellite imagery (from summer of 2017 to 2019), ground sampling (September of 2019) and available data. Eucalyptus cultivation map in Khuzestan province was also prepared from Khuzestan Natural Resources Administration and ground sampling by GPS in September of 2019. The land use map was prepared by the digitization of land use/cover using Google Earth satellite imagery from summer of 2017 to 2019. Accuracy of land use map was evaluated by 60 ground control points. The weight of effective indices in Eucalyptus wood farming potential was calculated using Fuzzy AHP. For this purpose, 30 expert questionnaires (30 expert judgments) were distributed among the scientific and operating experts of wood farming to express the importance and priority of effective factors in wood farming. Then, the mean questionnaire was obtained and it was analysed by Chang triangular fuzzy extent analysis. Based on this method, the normal weights of the indices and sub-indices were calculated using Fuzzy AHP method. Using the linear weighted combination of effective sub-indices, maps of the main indices and then a map of Eucalyptus wood farming potential was prepared. Finally, the wood farming potential map was validated by Eucalyptus cultivation map and its accuracy was evaluated in identifying the suitable areas for Eucalyptus wood farming in Khuzestan province. The results showed that among the main indices, water resources and land use had the most importance in the determination of the prone lands for Eucalyptus farming in Khuzestan province based on the Fuzzy AHP. According to the results, 12.83% of the area had very good potential and 10.47% of the area had good potential for Eucalyptus farming. The results of the accuracy assessment of wood farming potential map also showed that Fuzzy AHP with overall accuracy 82% had good accuracy in identification of the prone areas for wood farming in Khuzestan province.

On the other hand, Performance Assessment is an essential element for the development of modern organizations. Because of joining the organizations to supply chain, organizations performance linked together along the supply chain and the measure of an organization's performance rate alone doesn’t indicate the performance of the supply chain. For this reason, in this study, we tried to review the previous literature and present a Comprehensive conceptual model of supply chain performance indicators in the balanced scorecard model. Then, BY using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, the measured weights Model of Balanced Scorecard in the food industry were calculated. After getting feedback from some professionals in the supply chain and doing the calculation, it has been found that the customer perspective is most important and internal process, financial and learning and growth perspective in the supply chain performance importance, respectively. The quality of the food supply chain performance metrics is also the most important indicator and efficiency, competitiveness and reliability indicators are important, respectively.

In this paper, entrepreneurial tendency is investigated. To this end, a comprehensive model of entrepreneurship is utilized. The questionnaires were distributed among 49 male and 42 female students of physical education. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18. The results show that there is a significant difference between male and female students in terms of drive and energy, independency, risk taking and creativity attributes. However, no significant difference between them for the need for achievement attribute was found. In general, the findings show that entrepreneurial tendency of male students is higher than female students. In this paper, the weights of these attributes are obtained by fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and a mathematical equation is developed for forecasting entrepreneurial tendency.

Considering the failure of management information systems (MIS) in satisfying the requirements of organizational decision makers on the competition issues during recent years, the art-like technologies such as business intelligence have become one of the major concepts of management information systems, and by mixing with the culture of advanced organizations, are playing an important role at the frontline of information technology for supporting management decision making. In this article an attempt has been made, with the identification and introduction of the most important factors and parameters affecting the performance of a business intelligence system, to present a model for the measurement of a business intelligence performance (within the framework of a case study in a software production organization ). Taking into consideration the lack of independence and the existence of the relationship between effective factors, the method of Fuzzy Analytic Network Process was used for identifying the possible relationship between the factors as well as measuring them for the development of an evaluating model. In the conclusion, the results gained have been compared with the methods of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process and Non-Fuzzy Analytic Network Process. Manuscript profile -

If the vital health services are not distributed equally, the utility would not be created for all residents and this is a weakness that makes it difficult for the process of achieving sustainable development. In Khuzestan province this has also been observed that health services have tended to concentrate in the city of Ahwaz, and some municipalities of the province have been neglected with regards of health services distribution. Therefore, this study aimed to examine and analyze the indexes of health services in Khuzestan province. Strategy Research, functional and descriptive and analytical methods have been used to gather the required information, the library method was used as well. To analyze the data, the coefficient of dispersion (CV), T- test and model Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) were used. The methods of the health status of Khuzestan province by 20 indicators was examined. To do better calculations excel and spss software were used. Hierarchical process model, a model of Multi Attribute Decision Making (MCDM0 was used in which the performance has been confirmed in uncertainty. The model calculations showed that the city of Ahvaz getting 2/302 Score, was the most enjoyed city in Khuzestan province. In ratings the second and the third it was found that , Respectively Abadan (0/474) and Dezful (0/326), along with other cities in this province are in a state of denial instead. The standard minimum weight calculations showed that the city of Ahvaz and other cities of the province to provide health services to their inhabitants have not been successful. Dispersion calculations showed that the distribution of services in Khuzestan province is willing to be focused. T- test showed that both in towns and in the villages, there is no distribution of health service coordination. It was concluded that in relation to the distribution of health services in Khuzestan province, there are structural and functional weaknesses and distribution of health services are not subject to the principles of sustainable development.

Strategic management is one of the most recognized management approaches for this purpose. One of the most important steps in strategic management is recognizing organization’s internal and external factors. If these factors are recognized correctly, they can be used to establish correct and optimal strategies. So far, few researchers have used exact methods for identifying and prioritizing internal and external factors. In this article, we try to use multi criteria (Sample Additive Weighting and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process techniques) and data mining (support vector machine) for reorganization of internal and external factors. The case study in this research is Water and Sewerage Company of Mashhad. First, organization’s internal and external factors are identified and classified by organization’s higher managers and experts. For applying Sample Additive Weighting and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, first, the criteria according to internal and external factor’s definition are determined and criteria’s weights are identified by Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process also Sample Additive Weighting. Then, by using these weights, the values for all factors are calculated and classified. Using these criteria (attributes) and WEKA software, after data preprocess, factors classified by Support Vector Machine that is one of the most accurate data mining approaches. The results show Support Vector Machine prediction more accurately compared to other techniques. Manuscript profile
