One longitudinal study sought to predict sustainability and then assess actual sustainability against predictions (20).
For example, the mission's ability to keep records can be used to evaluate all 6 of the major factors: calculating a mission Cost, measuring Efficiency or Impact, using past experience to better prepare for the future, improving on the Educational goals, or predicting Sustainability.
However, there have been important systematic (e.g., contracting processes) and resource (e.g., time, concern over funding) challenges that are reflected in the wide range of predicted program sustainability.
Therefore, this study was carried out to assess and predict urban sustainability in different areas of Kermanshah city of Iran using an integrated approach, including the improved full permutation polygon synthetic indicator (IFPPSI) and Shannon's entropy methods.
This paper includes: 1) identification of manufacturing data to be analyzed, 2) design of a functional architecture for deriving analytic models, and 3) design of an analytic model to predict a sustainability performance especially power consumption, using the big data infrastructure.
It is, however, too early to predict future sustainability of the emerging innovations, but it is possible to speculate on their potential long-term effect on the resilience of SES.
Understanding the means by which an endeavour produces its social benefit and the nature of the social benefit it is targeting enables us to predict the sustainability and extent of those benefits, to anticipate how an organization may need to adapt over time and to make a more reasoned projection of the potential for an entrepreneurial outcome.
Using diffusion of innovations theories can help predict the sustainability of specific activities within a health programme.
In terms of this evaluation, it has made it easier to predict the sustainability of interventions, while in many sectors making it more complex to measure impact.
However, community readiness can also be appropriately applied to the planning of community-based health interventions, to predict program sustainability and as a tool for program evaluation.
