the environmental problems, in different dimensions, are resulted from the lack of environmental considerations and criteria in locating new cities. the main purpose of this article is to compare different criteria based on library studies and expert opinions and determining suitable criteria in order to evaluate the environmental potential to establish new cities to achieve urban permanent dev...

the ahp/dea methodology is an integration of analytical hierarchical process (ahp) and data envelopment analysis. this method uses the capabilities of both ahp and dea. however, it has some problems: it illogically compares two decision-making units in a data envelopment analysis (dea) model, it is not compatible with dea ranking in the case of multiple inputs/multiple outputs, and it leads to ...

Image fusion has been rapidly gaining importance in application areas such as medical imaging, remote sensing, robotics, navigation and the military. This has led to emergence of several algorithms for image fusion for generating more precise images. This paper presents a novel approach of selecting best image fusion algorithm for a given scenario using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) inv...

This paper presents an approach to select the best farming strategy considering various criteria. The goal is to help a farmer to take appropriate decision in farming. Two possible alternatives are consideredConventional farming and Organic farming. These farming types are evaluated by MCDM technique taking into account three criteria viz. Productivity, Marketing, and Health-Environment Friendl...

This article proposes a hybrid algorithm for spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks based on the algorithms Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to improve the performance of the spectrum mobility of secondary users in cognitive radio networks. To calculate the level of performance of the proposed algorithm...

In recent years, much more natural disasters, public health events and a variety of disasters, accidents have occurred. This paper proposes an index system for the evaluation of the performance of emergency logistics. Performance evaluation of a group of entities is frequently based on the values of several attributes and usually requires the weights of the attributes to be set in advance. Afte...

conflagration of forests and rangelands is one of the most frequent events in iran. it is regarded as one of the most important parts of land degradation that occurred due to range destruction and desertification. this study was conducted in boroujerd, lorestan province in west of iran in 2013 to determine the fire risk model. the data prepared for the study area involved the vegetation types, ...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...
