Abstract
In this article, the security challenges of Tehran's Grand Bazaar have been investigated. The research method is descriptive-analytical research and in terms of purpose, this research is applied-developmental. Analytical Network Process (ANP) was used to weight the indicators studied in the research. Based on the table of verbal and numerical scales based on the hourly method, a pairwise comparison between criteria and indicators was performed based on importance and preference, and the data was extracted and analyzed using Super-Decision software. The extracted criteria were done by polling experts and completing the questionnaire, which includes 14 main criteria and a total of 45 sub-criteria. According to the obtained results, the criteria of physical problems, dilapidation of buildings, greenhouses, cells and corridors were ranked as the 1st factors causing accidents, and after that, the state of the disordered electricity network and the lack of fire stations in the market were given the most weight. Also, the last extracted criterion is unsafe unloading and loading by workers and employers, which obtained a better situation than other indicators. At the end, suggestions for improving the safety situation of Tehran Grand Bazaar in 3 short, medium and long term categories have been presented.
