, Article International Journal of Environmental Research ; Vol. 8, issue. 4 , 2014 , p. 1309-1314 ; Abbaspour, M ; Monavari S.M ; Arjmandi R ; Lahijanian, A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Public participation is counted as one of the main indexes in sustainable urban management. Based on their nature, metropolitan cities has several and complex problems. For this purpose Tehran metropolitan area is selected. Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) weighted through a made-byresearcher questionnaire. The reliability of the model was verified by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Evaluation matrix for internal and external factors was equal to 1.944 and 3.413, respectively. The strategies were classified and prioritize by quantitative matrix. Suitable strategies for Tehran city are as follows: developing a strategic plan in field of social control participatory management for...

Abstract
Occurrence of drought, as an inevitable natural climate feature, cannot be ceased while happening. However, costs of the consequences could be alleviated using mature scientific integrated approaches. To reduce the amount of damage, it is required to provide “Contingency” and “Mitigation” action plans. For this reason, development of efficient operating instructions for various regions based on weather conditions and field studies is needed as well as having a sophisticated understanding of socioeconomic situations. This paper describes an approach to provide the first national agricultural drought risk management plan for a river basin in Iran country as a pilot. The study lasted for...
Building information modeling (BIM) applications in macro-budget management in public construction projects, the case of management and planning organization (MPO) of Tehran province
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Alvanchi, Amin (Supervisor)
Abstract
The construction industry is one of the important and driving sectors of every country's economy, and construction projects are one of the economic development factors of countries. These plans lead to economic growth and development through the mobility they create in public and private capital. Every year, a significant share of the government budget is spent on the implementation of public construction projects. Due to the key role of public construction projects in the development of the country on the one hand and spending huge national funds on the other hand, it is important to pay attention to their efficiency and productivity. Excess costs of public construction projects and delays...
Integrated coastal management plan in free trade zones, a case study
, Article Ocean and Coastal Management ; Volume 54, Issue 2 , February , 2011 , Pages 129-136 ; 09645691 (ISSN) ; Majd, F ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Free Trade Zones (FTZs) around the world offer special advantages to investors and facilitate import/export of goods in order to boost the regional economy. Integrated coastal management in these areas faces special challenges in addition to what ordinary ICZMs usually encounter. For a successful ICZM plan, the very strong business orientation in FTZs has to be taken into account, while other important aspects such as environmental, social, and cultural issues should not be overlooked. The problem becomes more difficult where the free zone is situated in sensitive and valuable environmental circumstances.Kish Island, a free trade zone in the Persian Gulf region, has recently been the focus...
Assessment of the urban heat island in the city of Tehran using reliability methods

Abstract
Climate change affects temperature, magnitude, and also the duration of the Urban Heat Island (UHI), which has severe impacts on the environment, communities, and the people's lives. This study evaluates UHI formation in the city of Tehran (Iran) using a reliability framework, which is able to include related uncertainties into the modeling procedure. First, 2 km air temperature field from Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model is downscaled to a 50 m grid spacing using a probabilistic downscaling method, which combines inverse distance weighting (IDW) interpolation and a Bayesian regression model. This downscaling method not only can produce a long record of the fine resolution of the...
Iran's integrated coastal management plan: persian gulf, oman sea, and southern caspian sea coastlines
, Article Ocean and Coastal Management ; Volume 50, Issue 9 , 2007 , Pages 754-773 ; 09645691 (ISSN) ; Farajzadeh, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Iran, having two separate coastlines at its north and south of about 3000 km length, with very different characteristics, suffers from various coastal problems. While its northern coastal area is over-populated and its sensitive and unique habitats must be protected from destruction, most of its southern coastal areas are undeveloped and deserted. Intense oil and gas exploitation activities in the Caspian Sea region and occurrence of two wars in the Persian Gulf during the last two decades have rendered hydrocarbon pollution a major issue for this country's marine and coastal environment. Biodiversity is under threat in some areas and natural resources are deteriorating. To overcome the...
