Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMajor Challenges of Iranian Rural Communities for Achieving Sustainable DevelopmentKhalil Kalantari, Hossein Shabanali Fami, Ali Asadi et al.Problem statement: Rural population in Iran live in an unstable environment and geographically, villages are extremely diverse and more than 65% of them have population less than 250 persons, which do not provide sufficient population threshold for most of services and sustainable economic and job creation activities. Only 7.5% of rural areas have population more than 1000 persons. Therefore, the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtension Mechanisms to Support Sustainable Agriculture in Iran ContextMohammad Sadegh AllahyariSustainable agriculture, as a managerial philosophy has risen to meet environmental, economic and social complications. Agricultural extension as a source of information plays an important role for the achievement of sustainable forms of agriculture. In fact, conventional extension system cannot accomplish sustainability in agriculture. The objective of the study was to identify the most appropriate mechanism to support dimensions and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCase Study: A Strategic Research MethodologyKhairul Baharein Mohd NoorThis research reviews the literature on case study as a strategic qualitative research methodology. Although case studies have been criticised by some authors as lacking scientific rigour and do not address generalizability, this research, however, reiterated its appropriateness when dealing with a process or a complex real-life activities in great-depth. Case study has been commonly used in social science fields … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 51,373 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Approach to DEA ModelsA. Azadeh, S.F. Ghaderi, Z. Javaheri, M. SaberiEvaluating the performance of activities or organizations by traditional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as efficiency frontier analysis models requires crisp input/output data. However, in real-world problems inputs and outputs are often imprecise. This study develops DEA models using imprecise data represented by fuzzy sets. An important outcome of assessing relative efficiencies within a group of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
