Supply chain resilience is a growing concern as risk becomes increasingly challenging to interpret and anticipate due to sudden global events that disrupt the core of global supply chains. This paper discusses the use of advanced technologies to enhance supply chain resilience, proposing a two-step hybrid fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach that evaluates a set of different supply chain KPIs or criteria that trigger possible supply chain risks, with a focus on transportation disruptions. Using FAHP, the highest potential risks from disasters are identified, and TOPSIS is used to rank alternative solutions that enhance supply chain resilience. The approach is tested on real-world applications across multiple supply chain systems involving various companies and experts to demonstrate its validity, feasibility, and applicability. Based on five criteria and six alternatives per case study, the findings showed that for manufacturing supply chains, the highest risk was attributed to travel time (46%), and the most effective solution to mitigate it was found to be strengthening highway networks (0.72). For transportation, delivery time (56%) was the primary risk, addressed by green logistics and sustainability (0.89).

Outdoor thermal comfort is an essential aspect of sustainable architecture, and it is key to maintaining a safe outdoor environment. Several programs have been developed to predict thermal comfort based on climate parameters, as well as the built environment, and to forecast comfort within the urban context. Solar radiation and wind speed can be manipulated by the constructed environment. This research uses Jabal Al Natheef as a case study. An attempt is made to evaluate the outdoor thermal comfort of the urban environment and to identify the contributing factors that impede or facilitate outdoor thermal comfort in Amman. The goal of this research is to investigate behavioral factors, including perception, in addition to environmental parameters, such as thermal adaptation and solar radiation intensity, as well as the green infrastructure implementation. A comprehensive literature analysis of outdoor thermal comfort over the last decade is conducted in this paper, which included adaptive and rational thermal comfort approaches, from the standpoint of contextualizing the behavioral perspective that is connected to the use of urban space. This research employed a scenario-based approach, enabling site assessment and community participation. The possibility of enhancing the outdoor thermal comfort in Jabal Al Natheef is discussed. Furthermore, we identify the effect of design measures that influence outdoor thermal comfort. Recommendations for improving outdoor thermal conditions in the region to improve urban life and stimulate outdoor activities are provided. The results indicate that vegetation has a significant effect on reducing air temperature by providing shade. Urban areas with more vegetation have a mean radiant temperature that is significantly reduced, by almost 7 °C, especially during the summer.
