        Owing to the importance of sustainability in the supply chain of project-oriented companies, this study aimed to design a model for identification of factors that may influence supply chain sustainability in project production at Pars Garma Industrial and Constructional Company. To serve the purpose, the interpretive applied study commenced with extensive library research to scrutinize existing theories and findings from conceptual and applied research and identify enablers and key factors that may impact supply chain sustainability. An interview protocol and a questionnaire were further developed to collect the research data. These instruments were validated based on the views of 10 experts serving as managers and decision makers of Pars Garma Company who were selected using a judgment sampling procedure. The research population comprised 155 individuals out of whom a sample of 120 were selected according to the Cochran formula. Having collected and analyzed the data, the findings indicated 7 main dimensions of project characteristics, contractors’ characteristics, managers’ characteristics, communication features, characteristics of supervisory organizations, performance evaluation and characteristics of the society, each with constituent components. The implications of the findings will be discussed. Manuscript profile

        Land use planning is a science that specified the optimized use of land based on Ecological and socioeconomic characteristics it. In many parts of the Iran, the selection and management of land use is done regardless of land capability that it causes disinvestment and reducing the environmental capacity. This study are investigated ecological capability evaluation for development use by GIS in Jahrom township of Fars province. There are different methods to weighting of various parameters. For this purpose in this research, a quantitative method is proposed to weigh criteria and their evaluation that compared with the current method of multi-criteria evaluation (MCE). In relation to common method of multi-criteria evaluation, it was used weighting approach based on improved Analytic Hierarchy Process (M-AHP). The next step was to evaluate the performance of each of the mentioned models throughout error matrix. Results showed that the proposed method of Regional Weighting (RW) in MCE models has higher capability than MCE (M-AHP) to estimate the ecological potential of study area. Overall, Results showed that the proposed method of Regional Weighting (RW) can be replaced to common methods of Weighting due to Simplicity, No need to questionnaire, save time and cost.

        Attention Renovation and upgrading old urban tissue to improve the urban productivity, Reducing the damage caused by the occurrence of earthquakes, Achieving social justice, Poverty elimination inhabitants and is matter essential the potential of the city One of the steps before attempting to renovate and upgrade old texture Identify and priority textures In terms of access to urban services and applications. In this study to order investigation Distribution Service the old urban texture old twelve neighborhoods old texture of Minab. The research method is descriptive – analytical and based on documents and library resources. For ranking neighborhoods was used Location Quotient method (LQ), and entropy and TOPSIS. The results indicate that the ratio between neighborhoods it is expressed that neighborhoods shahied abaspoor and lab rodkhaneh is better conditions than the other neighborhoods. And neighborhoods Sajjad, Sheikh Abad and BaghMalk the Location Quotient land uses Ha has been very unfavorable conditions and Location Quotient majority land uses in neighborhoods in level zero. uses. Then, using a combination of entropy-topsis neighborhoods texture old mibab were categorized In terms of fruition in the three categories fruition, Semi deprived, deprived. As a result, neighborhoods joie bariko,sajadie,gre salehi and jangjo in first priority and shahrak naft,lariha,lab rodkhaneh and shahied abaspoor in The second priority and Sajjad ,Sheikh Abad,baghmalek and paykoh in The third priority are development programs.
