Inadequate planning and lack of suitable land have led to suboptimal location of educational facilities in urban areas. Increasing the number of students and limited financial resources, lack of planning, lack of suitable land, not using urban planners and GIS, has led to the optimal location in most educational spaces. This study focuses on district 18 of Tehran, where the distribution of schools is heterogeneous. Using the TOPSIS model in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, this study aims to identify suitable locations for future school development. Criteria based on expert opinions and past research were categorized into four groups: compatible, semi-compatible, incompatible, and network of passages. Hierarchical analysis was used to prioritize and weight the criteria. After overlaying limitations and access radius for building schools, a location map was generated, classifying areas as suitable, relatively suitable, medium, relatively unsuitable, and unsuitable. Based on the results, the distance from industrial centers with a value of 0.18 was selected as the most important and the distance from administrative centers with a value of 0.017 as the least important layer. After overlapping the limitations of all uses and the radius of access to the permitted areas for building schools, the location map was selected and 5 floors were classified as suitable, relatively suitable, medium, relatively unsuitable and unsuitable. And the middle floor with an area of ​​1047766 square meters and 33.25% has the largest share of the area.

One of the important issues in the field of family that has been raised in the country in recent years is determining a structure to support the family and help to strengthen the family foundation in the country, but a suitable and convincing answer has not yet been provided. This research seeks to reform the family governance system by determining or creating a structure that acts as the guardian of the process. The current research is practical and has been done using a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative).In the qualitative part, in addition to the pathology of the family governance system with the Mana System Model (VSM) method, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 experts who were selected through purposive sampling in order to identify the proposed structures of the institution in charge of the family system. Using the content analysis method, the suggested structures were identified. In the quantitative part, the identified proposed structures were presented to the experts in the form of a questionnaire with the aim of prioritizing them, and then prioritization was done using the TOPSIS method. The results show that among the 9 proposed structures, the first priority is the family management organization under the Expediency Council or the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, which is more powerful and has a more stable approach, and the next priority is the National Family Organization (Vice President ) in which the executive guarantee is more visible and more realizable.

The purpose of the present study was to identify the weight of each of the courses of academic record and scoring based on the psychometric approach of the IRT continuous model and approaches based on the viewpoint of the specialists of Topsis and AHP. The method of this study was a combination. In order to conduct research in the first part, 11 items (courses) of academic background were taken from the expert group and weighed and prioritized using Tapis and AHP techniques. The final third year grades of secondary school students were received from the assessment organization and accepted for psychology and counseling in the humanities group. Theta tests were used to estimate the grades. In order to compare different weighting and grading models, the sample group was first ranked based on scores derived from all three approaches, and compared in terms of dispersion indices and the degree of difference between rankings. The results of the comparison of the three approaches indicated that the most variance is related to the IRT continuous modeling method. The results of Wilcoxon's statistical analysis to compare the average rankings showed that in the small sample size, the weighting method in all three methods produced a significant difference in the rankings compared to the same weight method, and therefore the weighting model in the ranking of the volunteers In small sample size affects. But there are no significant differences between the three weighting models in the candidate ranking. Also, the results showed that in the high sample size (2000 persons), the weighting method in all three methods compared to the same weights makes a significant difference in the rankings. IRT method scores are more reliable than expert-based approaches.However, the weighting method does not seem to have a significant effect on the reliability of the scores.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate and prioritize the effective components in attracting and promoting the participation of NGOs in solid waste management in Tehran. Two statistical societies, including managers of NGOs and Waste Management Department of Tehran Municipality, were studied to study and analyze the factors affecting participation in waste management and ranking the options through questionnaires and decision matrix, respectively. The questionnaire was prepared on a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 using factor analysis. The results were used as alternatives in multivariate decision making, including TOPSIS and ANP, and in the Expert selection software environment. The results of factor analysis showed that based on Kayser's criterion, five suitable components were detected that their specific value was more than 1. The first component had the highest share (21.551%), and the fifth component had the lowest percentage (10.446%) in explaining the variance of all variables. In total, the five components were able to estimate 71.56% of the variance of all variables. Based on the results of the network analysis process, the "Facilitation and Remedies of Legal Barriers" option (final weight of 232/0) has had the most significant impact on the participation of public organizations in waste management in Tehran. The distance between options with the ideal solution and the perfect solution picture showed that the First option with the least distance (0.554) had the most significant impact on the environmental, health and economic impact Implementation of the participation plan of NGOs in waste management in Tehran.

Dissertation supervisor selection is one of the most important and crucial decisions in doctoral programs. Typically, selection process is based on a set of criteria such as supervisors’ reputation, number of dissertations guided, continues supervision, etc. However, the application of these criteria is often subjective and intuitive and it can cause dissatisfaction, delay on completion time, and quality reduction of dissertations. This article proposes a new model for doctoral dissertation supervisor selection by using multi criteria decision making (MCDM) method. In order to identify the key criteria, a review of literature and purposive sampling were used. By means of purposive sampling 37 senior doctoral students of Tarbiat Modarres University were selected and key criteria were identified through a questionnaire. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach were utilized for prioritization and identification of criteria’s level of importance. The finding showed significant differences between priority expectations of sample and selected sample. In addition, the findings revealed that supervisor’s reputation was first priority for the sample and continuous supervision was main concern for selected sample.

The purpose of this paper is to rank agricultural majors of Yasouj University based on the triple knowledge criteria. Survey research method with a pre-structured questionnaire was used in this study. Research sample consisted of a 136 B. S. agricultural graduates of Yasouj University that were selected using random sampling table. Descriptive statistics showed an average score for coping knowledge among respondents. Furthermore, TOPSIS technique was used to rank majors based on some criteria and also Entropy technique was used to weigh the supposed criteria. The results of rankings showed that animal science graduates allocated the first in coping knowledge, while plant protection graduates allocated the first in practical knowledge. Finally, it is recommended that fostering the coping knowledge should receive more attention in higher agricultural education curriculum.

From the strategic point of view, intellectual capital is a major driver for growth and development of organizations. This intangible asset is used to create knowledge and enhance performance of higher education institutes. The success of these institutes relies on their intellectual capital status. Given the focus on public universities, managing intellectual capital and knowledge has been a target of increasing attention by experts and researchers. Chancellors and administrators of public universities should support the role of intellectual capital in enabling educational innovation and research excellence. Hence, in this study we have evaluated and then measured the status of intellectual capital. Findings of the current study show significant differences in terms of intellectual capital between the investigated campuses. It was found that humanities campus had a low score in all aspects of intellectual capital except for human capital. Additionally, engineering campus had just one satisfactory score in relational capital and other aspects of intellectual capital had a less-than-average score. Besides, the result of ranking intellectual capital aspects indicates that teaching skills are of highest importance.

Although ranking colleges of higher education institutions may seem, prima facie, to be a simple task, it has its own difficulties. The reasons for this difficulty comes from the fact that ranking involves more than one criterion and more than one decision maker. Nowadays the ranking of universities as a vital part of higher education evaluation has drawn considerable attention across the world. In this research different colleges of SCU were ranked by using TOPSIS technique. To begin with we selected 30 indices and weighted them by using AHP technique. On the basis of the indices developed, 10 colleges of SCU were ranked. Results showed that college of Education and Psychology received the first rank with Economics and Social Science college occupying the 10th.
