PUBLIC HIGH RISE HOUSING DESIGN PROBLEMS: "A CASE STUDY OF HOUSING ESTATES CLASSES"
Ali Yaran,
Volume 18, Issue 6 (7-2007)
Abstract
This paper will promote many questions about the design validity of these exciting blocks. The physical design of these blocks is prone to have social and economical problems, and it is part of the visual pollution and disturbance created on the sky line of Scottish cities special Glasgow. This paper focuses on the necessity to establish a source of initial design for high rise housing design problem classes theory. A thorough research of all the estates in Glasgow area was launched. Thus, a high amount of information was classified, in an attempt to establish a theoretical approach to support the evaluation and appraisal of current blocks problems. The new class's theory in high rise housing design problems is used as a vehicle for conducting this paper analysis. Classification includes physical and social design problems domains. The physical problems domain variables of the numbers of stories, dwellings, entrances, type of corridor, access from the streets and sharing of the site. Furthermore, to the social problems domain variables of graffiti, damage, litter, crime, drugs, child density and health have been examined. Moreover, their interdependent relationships were explored throughout the new classes' theory. The study of the new classes, theory may prove to be extremely vital for future direction in adapting some from of urban design problem solving techniques. It also serves as an evaluation tool for housing design appraisal in the city from Glasgow and similar cities worldwide.
Skill Training Supply Chain Performance Evaluation using Network Data Envelopment Analysis

Abstract
Providing skills training is an essential need of different societies. Considering the significance of the role of skill training in empowerment and employment of individuals through the training of skilled labor required by the labor market and industry, in this study the supply chain of skills training has been designed. In the proposed supply chain, according to the skill training aspects, a network structure is conceptualized to include appropriate factors in different layers of the supply chain. Evaluating the performance of the supply chain is handled applying a network data envelopment analysis. Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA) is an efficient method analyzing all the factors included in the evaluation network. Among the NDEA models, the output-oriented BCC model was selected due to the importance of the output of the supply chains of the skills training. In addition to efficiency, the concept of complementary loss is also introduced to validate the results. The research findings show the efficiency of various factors in the stages of the designed network. On the other hand, unlike the classic DEA method, which shows the maximum efficiency of a factor, in the proposed network model, the efficiency priority is calculated and the efficiency is determined at each stage of the supply chain.
