Also, Cronbach's alpha index was used to check the reliability of the questionnaire used, and Fornell and Locker's method was used to check its validity. In this research, after determining the dimensions, using the hierarchical approach, and using the Expert Choice software, the priorities have been determined. Also, Kendall's coordination coefficient has been used to determine the degree of coordination of experts' opinions. The present research was conducted between January 2022 and July 2022.
