Abstract
High unemployment rate in Iran has brought about some national projects of which one is Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Credits. A main sector that uses SME credits is handmade carpet industry. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of SME credits in East Azerbaijan, Khorasan Razavi and Qom provinces of Iran. Investigating factors associated with effectiveness of SME credits were income, cost, profit, labor and production of carpet weaver households for the years 2006, 2007 and 2010. The effectiveness of SME credits was evaluated using matching estimators. To achieve the purpose, the statistical population was divided into two groups of Control (carpet weavers who do not used SME credits) and Treatment (carpet weavers who used SME credits) group. Sampling performed through simple random sampling in each group. The results show that SME Credits had no significant impact on the income, cost, profit, labor and production of carpet weaver households in Khorasan Razavi and Qom provinces; however in the East Azerbaijan the credits had significant impact on the mentioned variables.

Abstract
Handmade Carpet has very importance roles in economics of the country and resilient economy. This importance by of features the artistic, economic and other characteristic. In this time, Academic education plays an important role in the growth of this arts-industries. Therefore, it is essential to accurate assessment of the course. In this study post graduate course in carpet was evaluate at based on CIPP model. The research methodology has been quantitative-qualitative and statistical Society are master Students, graduates and professors in course study. This research was carried out with questionnaires of 219 samples in four dimensions of necessity, infrastructure, purposes and needs. A randomized sampling method was selected from the administrated universities. The validity of the questionnaire was 816/0 by alpha Cronbach. In additional to statistical population 23 experts were interviewed. The interview by social snow ball method and sample saturation. The result shows the necessity this course is confirmed. But cultural and labor market infrastructure have not been considered of this course and needs review. There is also a significant difference between the view of the labor market and academics needs to substantial in both.

Abstract
In recent years, hand-woven carpets have lost their global status. Several problems have caused this issue. One of the important things is the uncertainty of the productivity of handwoven carpet production workshops. Existing productivity measurement methods are quantitative. In this industry, obtaining quantitative data is either not possible or hardly possible. So far, no research has been done for the qualitative evaluation of productivity. As a result, this research has been conducted with the aim of providing a qualitative method for evaluating the productivity of concentrated workshops for the production of handwoven carpets. The statistical populations and sampling methods in the first and second stages was: the experts of handwoven carpets, judgmental method; and the producers of handwoven in Isfahan, randomly method. To determine productivity evaluation indicators, the Delphi method was used, and one-sample t-test was used to evaluate productivity. In this research, a method for evaluating productivity was presented. Two dimensions of effectiveness and efficiency have been considered for productivity. Capital, materials, equipment, methods, management and human resources are indicators of efficiency, and achievement of goals and customer satisfaction are indicators of effectiveness. The results of the t-test show that its productivity, dimensions and components are more than the average but less than the ideal. In order to improve productivity, while reducing the amount of consumables and manpower costs that make up a high percentage of the costs of handwoven carpets, it is necessary to increase outputs by improving work methods and using appropriate tools.
