This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

for the successful tree establishment, an evaluation of land suitability is necessary.in this paper, we demonstrate how to implement fuzzy classification of land suitability in agis environment for afforestation with juglans regia in gharnaveh watershed of golestanprovince in iran. juglans regia is one of the most important agro-forestry species in manyrural parts of iran. relevant criteria for...

the present research aims to apply several approaches for suitability evaluation of lands under cultivation ofalfalfa and barley in chaharmil mechanized farming center, ardestan town, isfahan province, iran. climatic andsoil maps of the climate and soil data were provided in raster format. land evaluation carried out using maximumlimitation, parametric and multi-criteria (analytical hierarchy p...

Abstract Vendor Selection Problem (VSP) has been considered in this paper as an integrated method of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the pharmaceutical company. In QFD method, determining the importance of the "weights" for the customer requirements is an essential and crucial issue. FAHP has been used to determine the importance of the "we...

The higher education system in India is changing at an unprecedented rate. Having an effective system for evaluating the quality is an essential key to realizing the goals of education. The adoption of the fuzzy formalism is a possible solution to the standardization in the domain of quality of education. In this paper, an analytical tool has been developed to find the important attributes whic...

This paper proposes a new method for finding fuzzy weights in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), which fuzzifies the derived formulation of an eigenvector directly. The presented formulation only needs information about the upper triangular matrix and the assumption about the reciprocal matrix is not necessary. This characteristic makes the FAHP feasible because the property of recipr...

In this ever-changing world, information technology (IT) is a must for the survival of a company, and the functions of IT department is becoming increasingly important. The assessment of IT department is critical to understand how the department contributes to organizational and strategic goals. Because IT department performs many tasks that cannot simply be measured by monetary units, evaluati...

On the basis of different expert knowledge structure, from the greatest factors in power limiting distribution, using the method combining Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy set theory, a fuzzy comprehensive group decision model for multi-objects and multi-zones power limiting distribution in peak load shifting is built up. The problem of power limiting distribution between multi-zone...
