Although in recent years, Building Information Modeling as an emerging technology in the Iranian construction industry, has attracted the attention of many people, but the low productivity of this industry, the conditions for the realization of many benefits from the implementation of this technology has faced many obstacles. The implementation of such technologies on national, organizational and individual scales depends on their adoption. According to previous research in this field, unfortunately the adoption of BIM in Iran, is very slow and undesirable.

In the present study, by distributing a questionnaire among the first ranked construction companies in Tehran province, the BIM adoption status was obtained using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

The data analysis, which was performed using Structural Equation Modeling, showed BIM adoption was below average in all 87 valid samples. The research findings showed that if people to imagine using BIM in their minds and beliefs easier, the more they think that using BIM is usefulness, and both of these variables lead to a greater intention to adopt BIM technology.

As a result, it may be possible to improve the BIM adoption status in the Iranian construction industry by focusing on strengthening individual and behavioral dimensions in order to further BIM adopting.

The purpose of the this study is to investigate the factors underpinning the adoption of date insurance in Kerman province (Bam). The study is based on a descriptive-correlational method and 2916 gardeners are considered as statistical society during 2016-2017. Using the Cochran formula, 225 gardeners are selected by systematic sampling. The content validity of the instrument is confirmed by a panel of experts, and its reliability after the preliminary test is estimated at 0.8 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Comparing the characteristics of the adoptive and non-adoptive gardeners using t and Mann-Whitney tests showe that there is a significant difference between the education level of two groups with 95% probability. Also, there are significant differences between adopters and non-adopters in terms of "relation with promoters and insurance experts" and "participation in cooperatives"; however, there are not significant differences in terms of "participation in educational and promotional classes", "participation in local formations"," Participation in rural council decisions "and" Participation in constructive mobilization decisions ". The results of logistic regression showe that there are positive and significant relationships between the experience of gardeners, drought and adoption of insurance, but a significant negative correlation between loan reception and adoption of insurance by the gardeners. Prioritizing high income growers and raising awareness of the agricultural insurance program can be effective in adopting date insurance.

By rapid advancement in processing and storage technologies as well as Internet, a new computational model called cloud computing has emerged. However, most of the business and IT companies operate in the traditional IT space in Iran. Recently, companies began to learn and use expert persons in this field. Despite of many benefits of cloud, there are several risks which institutions should know before they migrate to the cloud environment. There are many factors that affect the adaptation and adoption of cloud by companies. Identifying these factors is required for better understanding of cloud computing to accept or reject it. To understand and analyze the effect of these factors on cloud computing, we need to use a technology acceptance model. In this research according to the conducted studies about companies adoption with cloud and as well as interview with experts who are often from cloud service providers and IT service provider companies, we tried to identify these factors and finally using technology acceptance model, a new and suitable model was provided to adopt with cloud computing. In this model, the relationships between the factors have been studied in a way that the effect of them on each will be recognized well.

The thesis's abstract (includes, precise goals, methods of performance and gained conclusions): This inquiry has been paid on identification of the effective factors on adoption of electronic government services from the point of citizen's view with a survey on the government counter offices in the city of Tehran. The model of research in this inquiry examines the pattern of relation between independent variables (perception of usefulness, perception from ease of use, perception of quality of services, computer self-efficacy and accessibility) middle variables(Attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, and dependent variable (intention to use). Statistical population includes Citizens who apply for services to government counter offices. A random sample of 352 citizens have participated in research and completed the questionnaire. Perceived behavioral control, attitude and mental norms toward electronic government services has a positive effect on intention to use it. Computer self-efficacy represents the meaningful relationship with perceived behavioral control. An overall conclusion suggest that electronic government policymakers should provide direct access of citizens to these services via one stop portals with broadband internet access, meanwhile, improving the quality of services in government counter offices as well.

Mobile marketing and SMS (short message services) advertising in particular، have been recently used. Even though SMS-based advertising is inexpensive، interactive، and able to yield a high response rate، middle or big size companies do not use it in Iran. For as much as its adoption was unclear، this study was organized to find it out. Since the most populated city in our country، Tehran، is a good multicultural instance to study in many fields، this research has aimed at its citizens'' intention to use SMS advertisement. The statistical populations included are mobile users، who came to Mobile Customer Service located in north، south، west، east and centre of Tehran. From which 384 were considered as samples. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used for making hypothesizes. Survey''s data was collected by questionnaire with cluster and random sampling. Collected data was analyzed regarding to the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM); in order to do which، the technique Partial List Squares (PLS) were used. The results revealed that: despite the lack of adoption for the SMS advertising among mobile users in Tehran، there could be chances to improve it by better perceived usefulness as well as its ease of use. Innovativeness of the people and their trust has indirect impact on their intention to use. Moreover، getting prior permission، making a profile، and individualizing the context with richness of information and entertainers are recommended. Using the new generation 3G and shortcuts will be able to improve SMS advertisement''s adoption as well.

Introduction and purpose of research:

Wastes generated in Tehran that is true dirty gold and entering the valuable water and soil resources, Ecosystems will lead to more pollution and there are many diseases. Due to this the correct way to collect waste in the city have been emphasized therefore the aim of the study it was Identify the factors affecting the adoption of waste management.

The study was the applied and descriptive – correlational method. The research population was all in Tehran Housewives. The sample size was determined by Cochran's formula (n= 385). Proportional stratified random sampling method was used. Data was collected through an instrument that developed by researchers. Validity estimated by a panel of experts in University and Environmental experts, department of Tehran city. Reliability was conducted by a Pilot test study and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient assumed (0/78≤ α ≤ 0/95) which show its suit for research conduct.

the result showed that there was a significant difference between seven variables Education, citizenship education, citizen participation, the role of the media, economic, political and cultural factors in the adoption of waste management among citizens of Tehran.

Spearman test with 95% confidence significant positive relationship between education and the adoption of waste management revealed citizens. Pearson test with 99% confidence significant positive relationship between cultural factors, political, economic, media's role, participation and citizenship education and Waste Management Admission indicated. Due to the above factors can be co-citizens in waste management (waste separation, etc.) to be optimized

Nowadays expansion of internet use is an underlying opportunity for financial institutions and banks to use it as a benefit in a hard competition environment. According to the nature of internet shopping some of the consumers always experience a level of risk. The present research investigates simultaneously the effect of trust and the perceived risk on adoption internet banking services. This research is applicable in term of target. in terms of method and nature is causal research and of domain relevant branch. Necessary information are collected using questionnaire mean time for analysis of data, Structural Equation Modeling and LISREL software are used. To achieve this goal 300 questionnaires were distributed among Arak banks customers that used internet banking services at least once and finally 276 usable questionnaires returned and were analyzed. The analysis results showed there is a significant relation between costumer's perceived ability of Internet Banking Services and using these services. Also results suggest that bank trusting negatively affected perceived risk of Internet Banking Services on one hand and positively affected costumer perception of bank abilities to offer Internet Services for using these services on the other hand. Finally negative effect of perceived risk for Internet Banking Services to use these services was approved.Research Limitations: There are a lot of factors that can affect on the adoption of internet banking services but because of the high importance of perceived risk and trust in adoption of this services and also because of time limitation in this research we are studied these two variable only. Also lack of accurate statistics of the customers using internet banking was among the restricting factors in this research.Managerial Implications: Finally it is suggested to the bank managers to formulate and implement strategies that can increase the perceived trust of the customers and parallel to programs of trust making move in the way of lessening the perceived risk of customers by creating specialized counters in their branches.

Recent advances in wireless technologies and devices, has created new opportunities to provide innovative banking services named Mobile banking. With mobile banking, customers are able to conduct banking services at anyplace and anytime and to connect banking service easily and quickly with mobile devices. Since the penetration rate of mobile devices is more than other technologies, if mobile banking accepted by the customers can decreases costs of banks and customers effectively.Worldwide researches has shown that despite there are numerous benefits that mobile banking provides for customers and banks, it is not accepted by the customers. Research on factors affecting the adoption of mobile banking by customers can be helpful in resolving this issue. Therefore, in this study a new model for the adoption of mobile banking taking into account the role of advertisement is presented. The proposed model combines the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT) with Task Technology Fit (TTF), and adds other influencing factors. Also, the proposed model is compared with the world known models in this research.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the key factors influencing the adoption of mobile banking (as a new innovation in electronic banking) of the banks customers. For this purpose, potential factors influencing the adoption of these tools have been investigated based on a literature review on existing models. Descriptive statistics, one-sample mean test, confirmatory factor analysis and Spearman correlation test have been used to analyze the influence of factors on customers’ adoption, satisfaction and loyalty, by using two statistical packages of SPSS and LISREL applications. Data has been collected using questionnaire and variables have been measured using Likert spectrum and they have been classified based on customer behavior model. The results indicate that the service quality, trust, expected performance, conformance of task-technology, expected effort, facilitating conditions, knowledge of services, self-efficacy and individual innovation have significant influence on adoption of mobile banking, while sense of risk has less influence on adoption of mobile marketing compared to individual innovation and self-efficacy and has no significant correlation with customer satisfaction. Also in this study, customers of Saman Bank have been investigated.

Aim of this research is evaluation of “Diffusion of Innovations Theory” in relation with Electronics consumer's adoption. To do so, a population of Iranian TV-set manufacturers is studied. Five major companies, holding 95% of market share have been chosen. Selection of main variables has been based on a categorization by the Ministry of Mine and Industry in three groups of products (14", 21" and 29" TV-sets). Due to the confidential nature of data and to facilitate generalizing and deducing, all data have been coded. Tests and analyses relating to research hypothesis have been lead to this conclusion that distribution curve of Diffusion of Innovations in Electronic Industry (TV-sets), like the global pattern, does follow the normal curve. But categorizing various types of adopters does not follow a global pattern; distribution beneath the curve (Adopters Classifications) shows following record:- Lack of innovators is observed.
- Early adopters and laggards mark a level higher than normal.
- Early majorities and late majorities show a level lower than the normal limit.
