“…For example, Azapagic and Perdan [93,94] and Cohen et al [95] have proposed decision-support frameworks for sustainability and sustainability in the minerals industry respectively. Ultimately, the people in positions of making the final decision on projects must be given as much possible information in as succinct and comprehensible form as possible.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper reviews the tools and methodologies used for incorporating sustainability considerations into the design of mineral processing operations. It was found that while there is a range of tools and methodologies that contribute to Design for Sustainability, there is no consistent, integrated approach to support the mineral industry in incorporating a greater level of sustainability into the design process. This paper identifies the required elements in such an approach and discusses the ways in which its development would progress the industry towards sustainability.

“…Meanwhile when decisions need to be made in the public domain, the decision-making process is often regarded as the whole cycle from problem identification up to decision implementation and evaluation, and then feeding-back to problem identification. This is known as a generic decision cycle [18], or a planning process [19]. An example of a decision-making cycle is presented in Figure 1.…”

“…Utilizing the framework developed in our previous work [41], the decision-making process is decomposed. Modified from Simon [16], Huber [17], and Petrie [18], the framework consists of four important phases, namely: (1) problem finding; (2) knowledge and information; (3) consensus building; and (4) decision and implementation (see Figure 2). The points or questions in each phase function as guidance in decomposing decision-making stages and identifying the stakeholders' involvement.…”

Modeling Autonomous Decision-Making on Energy and Environmental Management Using Petri-Net: The Case Study of a Community in Bandung, Indonesia

Autonomous decision-making in this study is defined as the process where decision-makers have the freedom and ability to find problems, select goals, and make decisions for achieving the selected problems/goals by themselves. Autonomous behavior is considered significant for achieving decision implementation, especially in the context of energy and environmental management, where multiple stakeholders are involved and each stakeholder holds valuable local information for making decisions. This paper aims to build a structured process in modeling the autonomous decision-making. A practical decision-making process in waste-to-energy conversion activities in a community in Bandung, Indonesia, is selected as a case study. The decision-making process here is considered as a discrete event system, which is then represented as a Petri-net model. First, the decision-making process in the case study is decomposed into discrete events or decision-making stages, and the stakeholders' properties in each stage are extracted from the case study. Second, several stakeholder properties that indicate autonomous behavior are identified as autonomous properties. Third, presented is a method to develop the decision-making process as a Petri-net model. The model is utilized for identifying the critical points for verifying the performance of the derived Petri-net.
