ToufighiM. GharonJournal Article20050420The condition of Human Resources utilization is the main item for optimization of Resources and then sustainable development. Potential H. R. of every country is measured by population in activity age (15-64). The first instance of human resources wastage (h. R. W.) is the percentage of inactive population, or reverse of participation rate. The second index is measured by unemployment rate (job seekers). The mentioned figures in Iran are 61. 21% and 14% respectively. Its obvious that real wastage will be more if we consider long term and hidden unemployment, as well as underemployment. Addition to these the unemployment rate of graduated (16.4%) and youth unemployment (21%) are another features of H. R. W. Employees distribution in various economic activities, sectors and main job groups, also would appear another dimentions of H. R. W that unfortunately in condition of incorrect policies would be intensified. Once more, some estimates of knowledge intensivity in economy of Iran indicates low level of codified knowledge (expert) utilization, which will be worsened. Minimizing H. R.

TaghizadehJournal Article20050420In view of the fact that the majority of doctorate graduates are attracted to research and educational affairs, and are involved in decision-marking of the programs in their field, compiling doctorate programs entails specific attention. While the importance of ideology, culture and ethics in engineering fields has often been neglected in the contemporary world, these subjects should be highlighted as fundamental in compiling and programming fields such as urban planning and architecture due to the mutual relationship between man and the environment. The following article endeavors to present a program for establishing the doctorate program of Islamic urban planning by focusing on Iranian culture and Islamic ideology(as the philosophy of life and activity) and utilizing related resources. This program is compiled in two main categories of general specialty courses. Course objectives the main headings and outlines(and references) have been obtained from Islamic texts and historical experiences of Iranians.

KardanJournal Article20050420In this article, the term, national resources, refers to natural resources present under and on the ground, and manual or mental products of man. There are also other resources that may be termed human resources. Examples include time and physical and mental power of people living in a region. Ignoring talented people or being careless about their appropriate training is considered a kind of national resource wastage by scientists who study national resources and the ways of their wastage prevention. In the developed countries of the world, not only the experts of production and distribution of natural resources but also sociologists and social psychologists cooperate for the prevention of the wastage of such resources. The research findings of these scientists have shown that for the prevention of this social damage at first we should change customers’ behavior, i. e., the change of their behavior along with their current wasting habit into an economic and sensible behavior. This change demands two policies. The first is power-coercive and the second in individuals and society and decent habits originating from it. As social psychological research has shown, this method is not effective in the short term but has a profound impact in the long term. In this article, at first the author introduces the building blocks of the culture of prevention, culture of prevention, then examines the obstacles to the formation of this culture and finally enumerates essentials and methods of formation of the culture of wastage prevention of resources. It will be shown that such a culture will be institutionalized mainly through the education system in its broad sense.In this article, the term, national resources, refers to natural resources present under and on the ground, and manual or mental products of man.

SadeghzadehJournal Article20130101A least – cost technology selection and inter-fuel subsituation is investigated to propose a 25 year – comprehensive energy efficiency plan for the building and industry sectors in the country. An integrated energy network is provided to model the energy flow from final energy consumptions to energy services. All Active and passive systems in both sectors are considered in the modeling. The long-term energy services demand including: cooling, lighting, electro motive force, steam, compressed air and other energy services is forecasted. The selected technologies in the building energy efficiency plan are as follows: the direct fire absorption systems for cooling and the gas fired systems for heating in the regions where the natural gas grid is penetrated, the insulated walls and the double glass windows in both existing and under-construction buildings, the high- efficient home applances and the high- efficient lighting such as fluorescent lamps and CFLs. This plan results in a 54% saving in building energy consumption cost. In addition, 15% reduction in investment cost is achieved as a result of the reduction of heating and cooling capacities. The industry energy efficiency plan advises to apply economizer, steam trap, air to fuel ratio regulator, air pre-heater, hot water recovery system, industrial combined heat & power, high efficient electric motors, motor controller drives in the cases for which the load profile is considerably variable, reciprocating compressors for the air flows less than 1000 liter per second, centrifugal compressors for the air flows more than 1000 liter per second, absorption chillers especially that of the direct fire ones. These energy efficiency measures could reduce the industry energy consumption by 11/8%.
