the expansion of major cities regardless of the scientific planning principles has led to theemergence of negative urban development impacts in iran such as the degradation of natural resources andvarious forms of pollution. undoubtedly, urban rivers can enhance the ecological value of the earth to anoptimal extent. however, to benefit from these potentials, appropriate planning looks inevitabl...

fuzzy decision tree (fdt) classifiers combine decision trees with approximate reasoning offered by fuzzy representation to deal with language and measurement uncertainties. when a fdt induction algorithm utilizes stopping criteria for early stopping of the tree's growth, threshold values of stopping criteria will control the number of nodes. finding a proper threshold value for a stopping crite...

implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. this research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. to take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...

making decision has become one of the most challenging responsibilities of managers in recent decades. finding the optimum solution for multiple criteria decision making problems is complicated. notably, multiplicity of decision making indices accompanied by variability in quantitative and qualitative measures aggregates the complexity of decisions. operations research (or) and multiple criteri...

abstract— in this paper, a new extended method of multi criteria decision making based on fuzzy-topsis theory is introduced. fuzzy mcdm algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. using a new index leads to procedure for choosing fuzzy ideal and negative ideal solutions directly from the fuzzy data observed alternatives.in this...
