Abstract
Carpet making in Iran plays an important role in creating job opportunities and increasing the country’s foreign exchange revenues. One of the fundamental and comprehensive programs that can guarantee the survival, expansion and extension of this art and craft is higher education. The course for carpets was first introduced in Iran’s higher education centers in 1375 (1996). Students can apply for a bachelor degree by competing in general examinations.
Others can apply for undergraduate diploma in the Inclusive Applied Science University and the Islamic Azad University. In the present research, efforts have been made to study the motives of students studying for an undergraduate diploma in the Inclusive Applied Science University (the higher education center of the Fars Agricultural Jihad Organization) in the years 1381 (2002) and 1382 (2003) and to identify factors that lead students to choose the topic of carpets as a university course. The results of the research show that the strongest factor leading to this choice is primarily personal characteristics (interests, tendencies and experiences), secondly social and family factors (social values and living atmosphere), followed by economic factors (achieving an income and employment).

Abstract
Carpets are the most important non-oil export goods in the country. However, due to the sanctions, new conditions have been created for Iran and the industry has undergone changes, losing some of its markets and the possibility of exporting has become more limited. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the choice of Iran's export market for handwoven carpets. In this regard, after identifying the effective criteria for selecting the target market for Iranian handwoven carpets using the Likert range, the criteria of lesser importance are eliminated using Friedman's method. Then, using the fuzzy Dematel technique, the effectiveness and interaction of the criteria are calculated and finally the factors influencing the choice of the target market for the export of handwoven carpets are determined. The results of this study showed that the factors of legal environment, legal registration of Iranian names and plans, GDP, target market tastes, export through bank LC and expected quality are the most influential factors on others, respectively.
