We try to determine the best location for a bus garage, in which maintenance and repair activities are operated, for public transportation system in Istanbul. An integrated multicriteria decision making technique (MCDM) is used to obtain reliable results. Firstly, various criteria related to garage location selection are specified and weighted by fuzzy AHP (analytical hierarchy process). Then, these weights are used in fuzzy axiomatic design (AD) technique to determine the precedencies of the alternative garage locations.

Developments in the information technologies provide important advantages to consumers and companies. Nowadays, smart card technology starts to use e-purse applications. The aim of this paper is to identify the most important decision criteria to select the best card technology. In this study, at first smart card and multiple selection techniques were explained. Then the best card technology was selected for an e-purse application. The three types of card technologies were examined and the most important criteria were taken into account by the software developer while they develop card software. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and analytical network process (ANP) techniques were used to compare smart card technologies.

Öz: Aphrodisias Batı nekropol alanı içinde ortaya çı-karılan bir hipoje mezar ve onun üstünde yer alan büyük bir yapı son derece ilginç bir mimari bütünlük oluştur-maktadır. Kuzey-güney yönünde uzanan hipoje mezara giriş, yer altına doğru uzanan taş merdivenlerle sağlanı-yordu. Üç galeriden oluşan mezar odası tümüyle ana toprağın oyulmasıyla oluşturulmuştur. Mezar odası içinde ele geçen arkeolojik bulgular mezarın ilk defa MS I. yüzyılda oluşturulduğu ortaya koymuştur. MS II. ve III. yüzyıllarda da kullanılan hipoje mezara Geç Antik Çağ'da da (MS VI-VII. yüzyıl) gömü yapıldığı anlaşıl-maktadır. Hipoje mezarın üstünde yer alan taş temelli ve kerpiç duvarlı büyük binanın ise MS IV. yüzyılda ve V. yüzyılın başlarında kullanıldığı anlaşılmaktadır. Binanın güney cephesinde yer alan sundurma içinde, MS III. yüzyıla tarihlenen iki mermer lahde ait parçalar tespit edilmiştir. Bina altında yer alan iki hipoje mezarın girişi de güney cephedeki sundurma içinde bulunmaktadır. Binayı oluşturan odalarda ele geçen bulgular, yapının bir çiftlik binası olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Sırahar-manlar Mevkii'nde ortaya çıkarılan bu hipoje mezar ve onunla mimari bir bütünlük gösteren çiftlik binası antik dünyada eşine az rastlanır bir örnektir. Özel bir aileye ait bir çiftlik yapısı ve onun altında yer alan hipoje mezar yapısı ile bu yapı kompleksi literatürde yeni bir isimle anılmalıdır: Çiftlik-Mezar yapı grubu. Abstract:A new hypogeum grave was excavated in the area of the Aphrodisias West Necropolis and a great construction on it constitutes a very interesting architectural structure. The entrance to the hypogeum grave, orientated north-south was provided by stone stairs extending underground. The grave chamber, comprising three galleries had completely been built through excavating the soil. Archaeological finds from the grave room were dated to the I st century A.D. and it was repeatedly used in the II nd and III rd centuries A.D. The finds indicate new burials were interred in the Necropolis in the Late Antique Period (VI th -VII th centuries A.D). It was found that this great construction with mud walls and a stone base on the hypogeum grave was used during the IV th -V th centuries A.D. Some pieces belonging to two marble sarcophaguses and dated to the III rd century A.D. were found within the porch on the south side of the construction. The entrance to both hypogeum graves was under the construction of this porch and the archaeological finds from these rooms lead us suggest it was a farm building. These hypogeum graves and farm building showing an architectural integrity in the Sıraharmanlar area and provide a unique example in the ancient world. This unique hypogeum grave and construction complex belongs to a special type of that time which can be described by a new term: the Grave-Farm Construction Group.
