“…These complexities create an environment which makes it difficult to analyze simultaneously all relevant factors. Different methodologies have been used to select surface mining equipment including but not limited to expert systems (Bandopadhyay and Venkatasubramanian, 1987;Denby and Schofield, 1990;Amirkhanian and Baker, 1992;Ganguli and Bandopadhyay, 2002), mathematical modeling (Fishler, 1987;Çelebi, 1998), computerized modeling (Chan and Harris, 1989;Haidar, 1999;Alkass et al 2003), simulations (Sturgul, 2000), queuing theory (Alkass et al 2003), and multi attribute decision making (Samanta, 2002;Bascetin, 2003;Bascetin, 2004;Kazakidis, 2004;Kulak, 2005;Shapita and Goldenberg, 2005;Bascetin et al 2006;Tayeb 2007;Aghajani and Osanloo, 2007;Aghajani et al 2009;Aghajani et al, 2011).…”

Loading and hauling contribute significantly towards expenses in surface mines. Thus selecting the most suitable system which minimizes the cost per ton and meets production needs is one of the main concerns of mine design and planning. It is also at times difficult to select the optimum equipment, as there are many possible options and influencing factors in selecting a system. Furthermore, some of these factors can be either quantitative or qualitative. As a result, the use of multi attribute decision making methods can be useful. In this article, the selection of the equipment fleet of Gole Gohar mine was done though four stages. First, feasible technical and operational options were determined. Next, the weights of influential criteria were determined using a hybrid method of fuzzy analytical hierarchical process and analytical network process. Then, the alternative preference rating matrix was calculated using fuzzy TOPSIS method and finally, the hierarchy of alternatives was decided by combining the available weight and ranking matrix. This model considers all affecting parameters simultaneously and facilitates making a reasonable decision about the most appropriate material handling equipment. For the purpose of evaluation in this method, the cost of each equipment fleet was assessed and compared using the traditional method. Results show that the use of the fleet of cable shovel and truck is the most economical loading and hauling system. The results not only indicate that proposed model offers chances to choose the best alternative among possible loading and hauling systems, but also help equipment managers to make an accurate and reasonable decision regarding all effective parameters.

“…It is defined as "a multi-objective and multi-criteria decision-making approach that uses pairwise comparison to arrive at a scale of preference among a set of alternatives" [88] (p. 286). The applications of this methodology have been very varied and belong to very diverse fields of study [89][90][91][92][93][94]. In the scope of geography, the most relevant studies are related fundamentally with territorial planning [95][96][97].…”

This article presents a methodological proposal using the cadastre as a tool to analyze urbanization dynamics. It is backed by an in-depth review of the related literature concerning Spain and Mediterranean Europe. The work uses the cadastre as a source of information, specifically leveraging the urban parcels and real estate obtained from the CAT files. After the data were collected, interpreted and organized, complementary statistical and cartographic methodologies and tools were used, together with the required database management. The goal of the study was to analyze the behavior of five intermediate cities and their urban areas, with the aim of comparing the construction dynamics between the cities and the municipalities located in their respective areas of influence in the period 2000–2016. The work is framed within the debate on urban sprawl, sustainability and the need for tools for town and regional planning. The main conclusion of the work reflects the necessity of a better understanding of the processes of transformation in cities, in which the use of cadastral data is key, given its reliability and updated information, despite the difficulty involved in accessing the data structure.

“…The selection of a loading-hauling system using an AHP-based model was evaluated by Bascetin (2004) for coal production in an open pit coal mine located Orhaneli, in western Turkey. Yaman (2001) proposed a knowledge-based approach for selection of material handling equipment and material handling system pre-design.…”

The problem of handling equipment selection plays a significant role in the total cost of a mining project; so that it can affect the activity and continuity of the project and is a strategic problem. In this study, an integrated model based on two fuzzy multi-criteria decision making techniques for handling equipment selection is proposed. The proposed evaluation model is derived from group decision making, fuzzy set theory, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and Technique to Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods. The fuzzy AHP (FAHP) method is utilized to calculate the relative importance of the evaluation criteria, then, fuzzy TOPSIS (FTOPSIS) is applied for evaluating the feasible handling equipment in order to select the best handling system among a pool of the possible alternatives. The model is applied for a real world case study to demonstrate the capability and effectiveness of the proposed model. To investigate the result sensitiveness to the changes of the criteria weights, a sensitivity analysis is finally conducted.
