Özet

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sustainable transport strategies of Tehran. A hybrid method based on the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process has been used to prioritize strategies. The analytical hierarchy process is a structural method for organizing and analyzing complex decisions based on mathematics and psychology. This was developed by Thomas L. Saaty in the 1970s and has been widely studied. The designed questionnaire has 6 sections, the sections are as follows and completed by 44 experts: The main criteria are technical and technology, environment, quality, cost, administrative and organizational and time, and 4 solutions in the form of van, taxi, bus and urban train. The priority criteria are as follows: cost, quality, time, technical and technological, environment, administrative and organizational. Prioritization provided by analytical hierarchy in the form of urban train, bus, van and taxi. Considering that in developing countries, economic and financial factors are one of the main parameters affecting the entire country, the weight of this criterion is expected to be more than 34%. In the prioritization, the quality criterion is 25% in the second place, the time criterion is 23% in the third place, the technical and technological is 9% in the fourth place, the environment is 7% in the fifth place and in the sixth place administrative and organizational is 0%. The first solution is the 37% urban train and the second solution is the 18% bus, which reflects the focus on the first two solutions.
