Abstract

The minerals industry in Turkey is critical to the nation's financial system and has a significant influence on its economic growth and well-being. The goal of this investigation is to undertake a complete review of the minerals sector's sustainability concerns, utilizing fuzzy decision-making to generate enlightening answers. Therefore, the major purpose of this research is to recognize and highlight sustainability concerns in the Turkish mining or minerals sector. This study employs expert opinions and a review of the literature to develop a complete set of criteria that will serve as the basis for the Fuzzy Best-Worst Method (FBWM), which is utilized for evaluating observed challenges. According to the findings of the study, “safety” is the most significant challenge that must be addressed immediately to safeguard the health and safety of mining people as well as the long-term sustainability of operations. This study contributes to an existing body of literature by examining industrial sustainability challenges using the FBWM technique. Using FBWM to acquire a deeper knowledge of the difficulties, researchers, stakeholders in the industry, and policymakers can get valuable insights into the connections between them.

在新兴经济体中实现可持续采矿:评估可持续性挑战
土耳其的矿产行业对国家的金融体系至关重要,对其经济增长和福祉具有重大影响。本调查的目标是对矿产行业的可持续性问题进行全面审查,利用模糊决策来得出具有启发性的答案。因此,本研究的主要目的是认识和强调土耳其采矿或矿产部门的可持续性问题。本研究采用专家意见和文献综述来制定一套完整的标准,作为模糊最佳-最差法(FBWM)的基础,用于评估观察到的挑战。根据研究结果,"安全 "是必须立即解决的最重大挑战,以保障采矿人员的健康和安全以及运营的长期可持续性。本研究通过使用财务、预算和扭亏管理(FBWM)技术研究工业可持续发展挑战,为现有文献做出了贡献。研究人员、行业利益相关者和政策制定者可以利用 FBWM 更深入地了解各种困难,从而对它们之间的联系获得有价值的见解。

期刊介绍: Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
