Ranking of Lignite Deposits in Poland Established on the Basis of the Analytic Hierarchy Process

Rankings (order) of mineral deposits were established on the basis of expert evaluation using the point method, which is characterized by a large dose of subjectivity. As such, it was necessary to establish an objective hierarchy to support such an important decision as the development (or non-development) of lignite deposits. The Analytic Hierarchy Process, which enables the estimation of mineral deposits in a more complex manner than the point method, was proposed for establishing a ranking of lignite deposits. For this purpose, a multi-criteria decision model was build. In the estimation of deposits, all factors that can have an influence on the attractiveness of their development were taken into account. An estimation of lignite deposits which were selected on the basis of previous rankings was carried out by using a questionnaire prepared on the basis of the decision model, taking into account assessments from previous rankings. The estimation obtained in this manner underwent mathematical verification with the use of Expert Choice software, the effect of which is the hierarchy of the factors as well as the ranking of lignite deposits.

Anp - Swot Approach to Minimize Environmental Impacts Due Mining Activities

Proceedings of the International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Process, 2011

Minimizing adverse environmental impacts is an important goal for all industries keen on contributing to sustainable development. The realization of sustainable development requires the use of different disciplinary approaches to the impact assessment of development proposals. This paper examines sustainable development in the corporate mining context, and provides some guidelines for mining companies seeking to operate more sustainably. Since mining processes have the potential to impact a diverse group of environmental entities, and are of interest to a wide range of stakeholder groups, there is ample opportunity for the industry to operate more sustainably. The present study proposes an integrated and hybrid approach based on SWOT Analysis and Analytic Network Process (ANP). The analysis prescribes policy recommendations both for the government and industry which, if adopted, could facilitate improving of environmental performance developing a framework for sustainable development indicators for the mining industry. In fact the combined use of ANP method and SWOT analysis is a promising approach in supporting strategic decision-making processes.

Using SERVQUAL Method to Assess Tourist Service Quality by the Example of the Silesian Museum Established on the Post-Mining Area

The paper draws attention to the necessity of conducting research on tourist attraction quality also in post-industrial areas which have become attractive tourist sites. It is emphasised that industrial tourism is a new yet quickly developing phenomenon in Poland, which compels managers to differentiate their service range and improve quality standards. The paper employs the SERVQUAL (SERvice QUALity) method to assess the quality of tourist services as a theoretical instrument to measure overall visitor satisfaction. The subject of the research was the Silesian Museum, which is result of reclamation and revitalisation of the inactive “Katowice” Hard Coal Mine. The article presents an empirical verification of the methodology which was modified for the purposes of the research subject. The Museum is considered...

Challenges of Coal Mining Regions and Municipalities in the Face of Energy Transition

Initial results of the research project entitled “Models of a transition to a climate-neutral, circular economy for mining regions under transformation process”, which is developed in parallel with the transition of mining town Brzeszcze, are presented. The challenges, in the context of energy transition, for both the EU and local governments were identified on the basis of EU policies and the experience of the project team from the cooperation with the commune of Brzeszcze. A “research by design” method was used to develop model solutions. In the context of local challenges, there was a discussion of the Green Deal objectives and “greenery” as a tool for transformation and achieving well-being. It was concluded that a comparison of the tangible (mining...

Applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process in the Re-vitalization of Post-Mining Regions

Geotechnical Aspects of Revitalisation of Post-Mining Areas - An Example of the Adaptation of Katowice Hard Coal Mine for the New Silesian Museum / Geotechniczne aspekty rewitalizacji terenów pogórniczych - przykład adaptacji KWK „KATOWICE” na nowe muzeum śląskie

The concept accepted for realisation assumes adaptation of the post-mining area with its historical infrastructure for cultural functions, and namely for the construction of the New Silesian Museum. Basing the concept on the idea of minimum interference into the existing spatial layout of the former mine has had the result that the museum areas and garages have been designed under the surface of the area adjacent to the historic facilities of the mine. In relation therewith, it was necessary to carry out the works aimed at reinforcing foundations of the historic buildings and protecting the geotechnical pit slopes. The article presents the technological solutions applied to protect the historic buildings, the lift tower, and the excavations for new facilities of the Silesian Museum. Attention was dra...

The interest in the recovery of useful materials from the dump, including burnt shale, caused protests of the local community, which considers the dump “its own pyramid”,“an element of the industrial heritage“, and “a symbol of the mining city“. For these reasons, residents objected to its demolition despite the prospect of employment opportunities for approx. 30 people, with the added benefit to the mine in the form of extra space for storage of waste from its current operations.$

The main mineral resources and the amount of their extraction in Estonia in 2012 Phosphate rock and granite may — depending on the economic situation — be mined in the future. In comparison with large scale oil shale and phosphorite (formerly mined), limestone, sand, gravel and peat represent a fraction, both in terms of volume and technology used. Despite the different extractive environments for oil shale on the one hand and industrial materials on the other, they have many problems in common due to the similar structure of rocks. For both types of minerals, drilling and blasting or difficult mechanical breaking is needed to enable further processing.$
