Abstract: During recent years, the shortage of surface water resources is a serious problem facing to the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Hence, the groundwater exploration should be limited for developing the new water resources such as artificial recharge. One of the main step of this process is locating suitable sites for constructing the artificial recharge structure. The objective of this study is determination of effective parameters on artificial recharge structure construction in Shahrekord plain to propose the best sites. The eight parameters affecting the artificial recharge structure construction are including permeability, hydraulic conductivity, precipitation, land slope, nitrate concentration, salinity, saturated and unsaturated thickness of aquifer. For this purpose, ArcGIS10.3 software for the analytic hierarchy processes (AHP) and Expert Choice 11 software for prioritize suggested areas were used. Weight permeability 0.28 was in the first preference, hydraulic conductivity 0.23 in the second preference, saturation thickness of aquifer 0.17 in the third preference. Permeability, hydraulic conductivity and saturation thickness of aquifer are considered as the main parameters with the weight of 0.28, 0.23 and 0.17, respectively. Moreover, the weights of precipitation, land slope, and unsaturated thickness were obtained o.11, 0.08, and 0.06, respectively. The results show that about 0.089 percent of the study area are suitable for artificial recharge structure construction.

Surface Water Resources

Rapid increase in population, agricultural expansion and ongoing development projects in the region. However, the region is facing water scarcity because of seasonal precipitation and inadequate surface water resources. Therefore, groundwater resources are gaining much more attention mainly in Kayadhu river basin to fulfil drinkable water requirements in the area. To maintain the long-term sustainability of water resources artificial recharge is expected to become frequently necessary in future as the growing population requires more water and consequently, more storage is required to conserve water for use in the times of shortage. Geospatial techniques are used in the field of hydrology and water resources management. One of the chief advantages of this techniques for hydrological investigation and observe its ability to generate data in spatial and temporal fields, which plays vital role for fruitful analysis, estimation and authentication. The suitable zones for artificial recharge were identified by overlaying thematic layers such as land use/land cover, lineament density, slope, drainage density, lithology, geomorphology, rainfall and soil characteristics are integrated with recharge potential factors. The result reveals that 79% area of Kayadhu river basin is most effective for high to moderate artificial recharge potential zone.

<p class="Default">In order to sustain in a competitive market like pharmaceutical in Bangladesh, it is important to get an insight into physicians’ preferences in prescribing the drugs. The aim of this work is to investigate and address the physician requirements through an integrated methodology of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). In this research, an expert panel has been interviewed to recognize the criteria affecting physicians’ decisions. The results from AHP derived through Expert Choice software demonstrate that from the viewpoint of physicians, out of the five criteria, quality of product offering is ranked highest in prescribing the drugs followed by the reputation of the company, relationship enjoyed with the company, etc. As for the technical aspects, derived from the relationship matrix of AHP and QFD, out of the sixteen, brand image is ranked first followed by the quality of raw and packaging materials, skilled production personnel etc. The contribution of this research is expected to enable the managers in the pharmaceutical companies to recognize the factors that influence physicians in prescribing drugs for the patients and help them find out challenging items with preeminent alternatives. Few suggestions for future research are also put forward. <strong></strong></p>

Hierarchy Process

Proses penentuan proyek jalan pada pembangunan infrastruktur jalan, disusun berdasarkan skala kebutuhan dan kemendesakan seperti yang ada dalam Daftar Usulan Rencana Proyek (DURP). Pada penerapannya di lapangan ditemukan perbedaan antara DURP dengan rencana proyek yang telah disetujui seperti pada Daftar Isian Proyek (DIP). Studi penelitian menggunakan kasus jalan raya Demak – Godong Jawa Tengah yang dibangun oleh Dinas Bina Marga. Pendekatan ilmiah perlu dilakukan sebagai bahan untuk memutuskan penanganan proyek jalan sehingga dapat mengurangi unsur subyektivitas para pembuat kebijakan. Metode ilmiah yang digunakan adalah metode Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), metode yang cukup dikenal dan banyak digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan dan manajemen. Melalui studi ini dapat dibuktikan bahwa metode AHP cukup handal dalam membantu para pembuat kebijakan dalam proses pengambilan keputusan yang obyektif. Metode AHP yang digunakan adalah Expert Choice untuk menentukan manakah prioritas jalan yang tepat, apakah beton atau aspal melihat dari beberapa faktor seperti daya tahan konstruksi serta dari segi penilaian kualitatif berupa perbandingan tingkat kenyamanan, dampak lingkungan, dampak sosial, ketersediaan bahan & peralatan dilokasi, serta metode & teknologi pelaksanaan. Dari hasil penelitian dapat diketahui faktor teknis yang mempunyai bobot tertinggi adalah faktor daya tahan terhadap cuaca sebagai prioritas dengan nilai 0,493, faktor non teknis yang mempunyai bobot tertinggi adalah faktor ketersediaan sumber daya dengan nilai prioritas 0,298 terhadap cuaca, 0,356 terhadap pergerakan tanah dan 0,363 terhadap perubahan lalu lintas. Konstruksi jalan beton unggul pada empat faktor yaitu daya tahan terhadap cuaca, daya tahan terhadap pergerakan tanah, daya tahan terhadap lalu lintas dan jangka waktu perawatan dengan tingkat keunggulan rata-rata enam kali dibanding konstruksi aspal. Keunggulan konstruksi aspal terdapat pada faktor-faktor kenyamanan permukaan jalan, kemudahan pelaksanaan pembangunan, ketersediaan sumber daya dan teknologi serta biaya dengan yang perbandingan keunggulannya dengan konstruksi beton adalah rata-rata empat kali. Dari berbagai aspek tersebut menunjukkan jalan beton rata-rata lebih unggul dibanding dengan jalan aspal.
