Abstract
In mine design and planning, the identification of an appropriate Post-Mining Land Use(PMLU) is necessary and crucial to achieve environmental quality, socio-economic renewal, and socialacceptance of mining projects. In this context, Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodssupport decision-makers and stakeholders, identifying the relevant factors and criteria, so that,different available alternatives can be evaluated, compared, and contrasted with each other. Withthe vision to enable its wide application, 15 mine profiles are identified which, combined withselected MCDM methods and relevant factors, results in a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)framework for PMLU. In this preliminary framework, the MCDM methods selected are SIMUS,TOPSIS, and SMARTER. They serve different problems and, therefore, are used in different profiles:SIMUS is applied to complex profiles, TOPSIS to the lesser ones, and SMARTER is used due toits capacity of assigning weights to criteria based on Ranking Order Centroid calculations. Thispreliminary MCDA structure gives the possibility to include the complexity (technical and decisional)and a participatory process, for all stakeholders involved concerning PMLU.
