To ensure the sustainability of tourism development, the use of techniques and practical methods for evaluating sustainability has been considered. The results of previous studies indicate that the relationship and significance of these indexes have ever been considered. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to identify the indexes of assessing the sustainability of tourism development and determining the priority of each factor, as well. The descriptive-analytical method was used as the research methods. The statistical population included the tourism professors and managers involved in tourism activities. Fuzzy Delphi, Fuzzy Network Analysis Process and Fuzzy DEMATEL techniques have been used to analyze the data. The obtained results have indicated that among the six main factors, the economic factor with a weight of 0.415 is the most important index in measuring tourism sustainability. Also, economic and cultural indexes as the most influential and effective ones have been determined in assessing the sustainability of tourism development, respectively.

Based on Statistics of concerned organizations, most of the travels are ground trips,specially by private cars. Existence of natural facilities and Infrastructures is considered as the most important base of tourist paths. In this research, first, by evaluating available infrastructures, and presenting new suggestive points, and also, with introducing levels of camping, factors which underlie creation and development of a welfare service center were taken into consideration. Finally, levels of camping were preceded and introduced through the AHP method. Referring to the literature, 3 levels of camping were introduced. Then, drawings and tables were presented based on effective factors due to significant priority which shows location of these 3 levels of camping on the principle path of Golestan province. Although an article cannot address all of available issues completely, due to necessity and complexity of the topic, but this research has gained an appropriate answer through the optimum way. Finally, all of available and proposed camping points have been prioritized in a table, and consequently, the results led to open up new horizons in the field of tourism services development and promotion.

Due to the importance of Small and Medium sized Enterprises, this article is mainly focused on the evaluation and prioritization of the governmental support for these businesses. The method of this research is descridptive based on a 5 point Likert scale questionnaire. Our sample population consists of the 158 CEOs of some active travel agencies (type B) of Tehran participating in this survey. For the data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics (Binomial and chi-square tests) were utilized, and then Freidman test was performed to prioritize – from the view point of our subjects – the governmental support for the SMEs. The results indicate that interviewees regard governmental support as being low. Moreover, the following is the interviewees’ prioritization of the governmental support for SMEs: 1) Financial and credit support, 2) Infrastructural support, 3) Marketing and research support, 4) Training and technical support, 5) Promotion and advisory.
