Decision-makers have always tried to manage the crisis and challenges arising from it. Therefore, assessment of vulnerability of urban areas and planning to reduce these damage is necessary. This research was conducted with the aim of assessing the urban area against earthquake and with the crisis management approach in Tehran 6th area. For this purpose Valued, 11 criteria for degree of confinement, construction density, building quality, population density, materials and structure of the building unit, access to health centers, width of the road, building height, land use, maximum horizontal acceleration of the land and the age of the building by Delphi method. Subsequently, the indexes were analyzed using the IHWP Hierarchical Model and the criteria were overlapped in GIS software. The results of the earthquake vulnerability map showed 4.8% of the area in the vulnerability class was very low, 19% in the vulnerability class, 46.2% in the middle class vulnerability, 25.4% in the vulnerability class, and 4.6% in the vulnerability class. The vulnerability class is very large. Regarding the Vulnerability Map of Area 6, we can find that areas with a higher-wiring network and low-density distribution of low-density constructions tend to be less damaged, most of which are located on the periphery of the region or north of the 6th area. Existing districts in the north of the region are less vulnerable than the rest of the study area. As you move from north to south, the vulnerability increases. Manuscript profile -

In Islam, it is mentioned that the decision on hiring the employees should be fair and rational, and since the believers are more honest, employees should be obliged to Islamic beliefs such as praying, fasting, zakat and so on. The human resource manager should consider such criteria while hiring the needed employees. The current research is accomplished to develop Islamic indicators of recruiting human resources and to clarify the relations among its components by conducting an explorative mixed method. The first step was a qualitative study (Delphi analysis) in order to propose the research model, and the second one was the quantitative study. To this end, a sample size of 225 employees of a public organization was randomly selected for data gathering. Obtained data resulted in one main aspect, 10 components and 24 indicators based on which a questionnaire was developed and distributed. Findings of the second step validated the proposed model since the construct of "Islamic HR Recruitment" was statistically associated with its components and indicators. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, production and technology transfer should be considered together in order to prevent the waste of time and energy, also provide scientific grounds for localization. This is important when the intellectual property of technology transfer, as a supportive power of the technology owner, is also taken into consideration. Because of its importance, in this paper, by presenting a model, we draw a proper path in the production of domestic technology along with the transfer of technology that has been consulted by the elite. The resulting model explains the process of manufacturing and transferring technology from the legislative stage to the product delivery of the technology. In this model four phases of infrastructure, creation, supportive and final are considered. In the infrastructure phase, the legal dimensions of intellectual property laws as well as methods for creating the right conditions for the transfer and production of technology in the Government, Parliament and the Guardian Council are examined. In the phase of creation, the responsibilities assigned to the relevant ministries, as well as the improvement of the power of science and technology parks along with the appropriate direction for them. The supportive phase is a guarantee of the implementation of the law and, in addition, it has a supportive role in creating a suitable platform for technology vendors. Finally, the process of fusing and commercializing technology in the final phase is examined. Manuscript profile -

Selecting the best supplier among various suppliers, considering a mixture of criteria that are sometimes in conflict, makes it a complicated multi-criteria decision making problem. On the other hand, supplier selection is highly dependent on the assessments of decision makers and according to the environmental dynamics and incomplete information available to decision makers, they are faced with some uncertainty in their assessments. The purpose of this paper is to present a model of multi-criteria decision making under uncertainty by using concepts of fuzzy and grey theories in order to select the optimal supplier. In this research, first, the weights of supplier selection criteria are determined by using fuzzy Delphi and analytic hierarchy process, then suppliers are ranked by using Grey VIKOR which is a newly developed approach in the field of multi-criteria decision making under uncertainty Manuscript profile -

The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the indicators affecting the Anti-fragility of the insurance industry supply chain and to determine the causal relationships between these indicators. This study has been conducted through an exploratory mixed-method. The Delphi method and the Gray-DEMATEL technique have been utilized in this study. Insurance companies must implement indices, methods, and mechanisms to promote the anti-fragility of their supply chain, though simultaneous attention to all indices is impossible and uneconomic. Therefore, deciding which indices have priority in investment can be accomplished using the research findings and determining the significance of each index, as well as the causal relationships between them. According to the results of the Delphi method, 49 indices for anti-fragility of the supply chain insurance industry, hereunder the eight main processes, have been extracted. Study results also revealed that in order to lead the supply chain insurance industry towards anti-fragility, the "knowledge and information management" and "risk management" processes should at first be considered. According to expert opinions, the "management information system" and "knowledge management implementation" indices have been selected as the most causal indices of anti-fragility of the knowledge and information management process, while the indices of "risk strategy development" and "using the risk database" have been chosen as the most causal indices of risk management anti-fragility.

In fact, universities are generating knowledge and transferring it to scholars, the industry also works to apply knowledge and shares its expectations to university research teams, and they present their ideas, findings and outcomes to the industry. Transportation science also is no exception, and in recent years, it has introduced and implemented new technologies called Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in universal level. Studies in Iran show that transferring knowledge between university and intelligent transportation industry face challenges and obstacles that have led industry owners to the direction of assembling imported components and escaping from universities. This study aims to explanation and interpretation of viewpoints of university and industry section experts about obstacles that affect transferring knowledge between these two institutions in line with implementation of intelligent urban transportation. In this research, firstgy determined effective indices of industry – university interaction obstacles by searching library and documentation resources. Fuzzy Delfi is used to sieve indices and identifying final submeasures. As 43 suggested obstacles were initially available to transportation science experts and by this technic, at first stage 27 obstacles and then, 15 obstacles were chosen for evaluation and ranking. Ranking was also done though fuzzy AHP.

Accordingly, in the present study, the pathology of social activities of Tehran Municipality has been studied. In this study, in accordance with the theoretical framework of the subject, three main categories include conceptual adaptation; legal compliance and organizational compliance were considered for pathological measures. The research method was such that the list of social and cultural activities of the municipal organization in the form of a Delphi questionnaire was given to 10 experts and they were asked to evaluate each activity in three separate scales. According to the results, the most important challenge in the field of social and cultural activities of Tehran Municipality in the first place is the entry of this organization into some fields and activities that are outside its inherent and legal duties. In the second place, there is parallel work and overlap of some of these activities with other organizations, and finally, in the third level, the dominance of the theatrical approach is in some activities of Tehran Municipality. Accordingly, the application of the present study relies on a comprehensive review of activities in terms of the combination of three indicators. This revision shouldperform on the base of final score calculated for each activity and as a result, the activities of each area were classified into three categories: "continuity", "adjustment" and "change".

To this end, at the first stage, 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted with cultural tourism experts to identify the steps involved in cultural tourism development, out of which thirty-three solutions were identified in four main steps via open, axial, and selective coding. At the second stage, the Delphi-Fuzzy technique was applied in two stages to reach a consensus among the experts and prioritize cultural tourism development steps through the defuzzification process. The results showed that the identified strategies for cultural tourism development in Lorestan province could be categorized into four main steps: "Education and Innovation," "Physical Infrastructure," "Supportive-Institutional," and "Cultural-Advertising." Moreover, since the defuzzificated mean difference of the experts' opinion was less than 0.25 in two steps, all the identified solutions were proved to be valid. The results also indicated that the first and foremost step in tourism development was "education and innovation," followed by physical infrastructure, supportive-institutional, and cultural-promotional steps, respectively. Furthermore, at each step, the most important solutions were found to be advertising for tourism villages, identifying villages with tourism potentials, providing banking facilities for villagers to help them develop tourism, and building cultural elements and particular architectures in rural areas, respectively.

This research has been carried out with the aim of systematically reviewing previous researches in the field of green human resources management, as well as identifying key elements and providing a structural model to implement the green human resources management process in the chemical and petrochemical industries of Bushehr province. By studying thematic literature and using the textual content analysis approach, six basic indicators were counted, and in order to localize them in order to implement green human resources management in the chemical and petrochemical industries, the Delphi technique was used in three rounds. The statistical population of the research was formed by managers and experts familiar with the subject and working in the field of petrochemical industries. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and its validity and reliability were also confirmed. In order to design the structural model of the effective indicators for the implementation of the green human resources management process, the interpretive structural modeling approach in the fuzzy environment was used to manage linguistic ambiguities in judgments. The results of the modeling and analysis of Mik Mak showed that individual, group and organizational indicators are among the basic and influential indicators in the field of Sabza's human resources management; Therefore, managers are suggested to emphasize and pay more attention to this group of indicators.

Therefore, one of the main concerns of managers is to improve the quality of services. With the development of the Internet and the world of communications, a concept called cloud computing has expanded in the world of communications, which provides a new model for the supply, consumption and delivery of computing services. The purpose of this study is to make the optimal decision in choosing the appropriate cloud service according to the conditions of users so that they achieve the highest satisfaction. Fuzzy Delphi method, fuzzy hierarchical analysis method, fuzzy TOPSIS method and finally multi-criteria decision making method are the methods used in this research. The results of the fuzzy Delphi method show that the indicators of transparency, accessibility and reliability should be eliminated. The results of fuzzy hierarchical analysis identified the cost index as the most important index and the support index during demand as the least important index. According to the results of fuzzy TOPSIS based on the weights obtained from fuzzy hierarchical analysis, SAAS, IAAS and PAAS cloud services were ranked first to third, respectively. Using the SAAS service provides numerous benefits to employees and companies, such as reducing time and money spent on time-consuming tasks such as installing, managing, and upgrading software.
