Evaluating and Ranking the Development level of Rural Areas of Tabriz using Copeland Model and Comparison the Results with Topsis, Vikor and Electre Models

Abstract

Agricultural development is a major part of the rural development process, and it is impossible to imagine a developed world without agricultural development. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of agricultural development in Tabriz rural areas and to rank them in terms of agricultural development using Topsis, Vikor, Electre, and Copeland models. In this study, 8 agricultural criteria including level of Education, area of fields and orchards, mechanization level, livestock, fish farming, service-support and yield were used. The weight of the criteria was determined by paired comparison method and all the analysis steps were performed by Excel software and finally GIS software was used to produce the map. The results indicated that in the Topsis model, Lahijan was ranked first and Ajichai was the last, and in the Vikor model, Lahijan was ranked first and Maidanchai was the last. Thus to obtain consensus on the results of the models, Copeland method was used. Copeland's method is a Condorcet method in which the winner is determined by finding the candidate with the most pairwise victories. According to the Copeland model, Lahijan and Ajichai were ranked first and sixth, respectively. The status of all the considered rural areas was at "in developing" status. Coefficient of variation showed that fish farming criteria (CV=2.24) had the most distribution inequality among the villages and rice yield criteria (CV=0) had the most suitable distribution among the villages.
