Considering the importance of drinking water in the rural areas, identifying and paying more attention to the factors concerning wasteful and improper consumption of water would be an appropriate approach to pinpoint the hazardous risks in this regard. This article, investigates the status of drinking water in Tabriz villages and identifies the effective factors on water consumption and also determines the weight impact of each one. Finally it prioritizes the factors and provides strategies for optimal management of drinking water consumption in the villages of the county. The results obtained from the field treatment information with 1320 questionnaires filled by the consumers, 28 experts, 44 villages in addition with undergoing factor analysis and cluster analysis suggest that elements such as management, cultural, health, welfare, technological, legal, economical, psychological, and social factors . are among the most important ones behind the improper consumption of drinking water. According to the analysis model, after identifying the weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities, four strategies are recommended. These are 15 defensive strategies, 8 competitive strategies, 23 review strategies and 14 diversity strategies. Furthermore, the content an face validity of the research tool used for this research was reviewed and confirmed by professional the reliability of questionnaires was also confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha in the preliminary study with a sample size of 82 individuals and value of 0/71. The various internal and external weaknesses and threats, reasons and causes of wasteful consumption in the field of water consumption are far more than of its internal and external strengths and opportunities. This indicates the low threshold of vulnerability of this city in terms of regional development in the area of drinking water therefore it is necessary to exploit defensive and review strategies to address the issues of the weaknesses and threatening risks of the region

Metropolises are as population and traffic density centers and their consequences are more than other population centers. Various metropolises present different solutions based on their circumstances and characteristics of transportation. The major issue about transportation in metropolises is weakness of strategic plans in order to apply the plans for intelligent transportation system that impresses urban transportation. Management organization of transportation in metropolis of Tabriz presents some solutions sporadically that are not enough to solve traffic problems. The purpose of this study is to present a model to prioritize development strategies for intelligent transportation system in order to cover strategic plan for transportation management. In other words, this paper is concentrated on combination model of prioritize strategies. The procedure of this research is that after literature review, development strategies of intelligent transportation system which is as a result of logic and scientific management model (ANP،QSPM), is prioritized by using strategic approach. For achieving this goal, combination procedure is done and the relationship of different variables to present the real priority of strategies is considered. Finally, findings of this combination procedure are compared by using Spearman rank order correlation. The result of combination procedure and comparing it with Spearman rank order correlation illustrate that strategy entitled “coordination of all organizations to enhance public infrastructure in order to develop intelligent transportation system” in both analysis (QSPM and ANP) is prioritized as a major strategy and other strategies have different priorities.

Urban transportation is one of the most important issues in Iran metropolises, and despite the importance of this system in the metropolises of Iran, a strategic plan to guide the development of this system, are rare. Tabriz city as one of the country metropolis is no exception about problems caused by inefficient transportation system. And transportation in this city also needs a comprehensive and strategic plan. In terms of methodology, this research is descriptive - analytical and data collection done by library and field studies (interviews and questionnaires). In this process, validity of questionnaires is based on expert opinion and reliability was approved by using Cronbach's alpha. Then, using SWOT strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities and threats are analyzed, and the strategies that are Delphi and techniques outcome, have been prioritized using the ANP technique. The results of this research process indicate that the strategies in this planning are aggressive strategies based on the reinforcing the strengths and using the opportunities. Therefore, the strategies on aggressive approach using ANP model analyzed and their ultimate priority with the weight of each strategy has been set. The final result of ANP analysis shows that the highest score (0.395)is for the strategy SO1; (Taking advantage of the experience of the pilot projects that implemented in Tabriz and other metropolises in Iran, in the field of intelligent transportation systems in order to promote and develop intelligent transportation) and implementation of this strategy is the first priority.
