background and objectives: evaluation has an important role in software development. quality is considered in the evaluation of information systems, which depends on usability, availability, validity, compatibility, and response time. this research was performed with the aim of determining the usability of hospital information systems according to the 7 principles of isometric 9241, part 10. me...

aggregation operators (aos) have been studied by many schol- ars. as many aos are proposed, there is still lacking approach to classify the categories of ao, and to select the appropriate ao within the ao candidates. in this research, each ao can be regarded as a cognitive style or individual dierence. a cognitive style and aggregation operator (csao) model is pro- posed to analyze the mapping ...

researchers of csiro land and water in griffith in australia have found a way to repeatedly reuse drainage water to grow crops. in the process the system will concentrate the salt in the water to a manageable level which can then be used or stored in an environmentally friendly manner. the process, known as sequential biological concentration, is based on a novel system for land, based treatmen...

this study aims at identifying the suitable areas for ecotourism using geographic information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) in experimental and educational kheyroud forest, nowshar, mazandaran province. the evaluation process was conducted based on three groups including ecological, infrastructural, and socio-economic criteria. then, the indicators of each main groups were...

introduction urban planning is the process of influencing, controlling or directing changes in the use of land overtime and space in an urban area. therefore, it involves plan formulationand development control. to achieve this, concept of sustainable development must be addressed to remedy social inequities and environmental damage, while maintaining a sound economic base. the sustainable deve...

This paper discusses site selection process for biological soil conservation planning. It was supported by a valuefocused approach and spatial multi-criteria evaluation techniques. A first set of spatial criteria was used to design a number of potential sites. Next, a new set of spatial and non-spatial criteria was employed, including the natural factors and the financial costs, together with t...

The fuzzy weighted average is widely used to solve hierarchical evaluation problems, including fuzzy consideration for the operations of scoring, weighting and aggregating. Previous works considered the fuzziness of score and weight, and used the additive function to aggregate these weighted scores. This study considers the aggregation operator also as a fuzzy variable, and uses a generalized m...

abstract the quality of soil maps depends upon their ability to show the soils variability. thus, the accuracy of the maps used for crop recommendations is due to the accuracy of soil maps. this study was performed to investigate the amount of soil properties and crop yield spatial variability in s 2 and s3 units of a semi-detailed quantitative suitability map (1:50000 scale) for irrigated whea...
