An Integrated Gray DEMATEL and ANP Method for Evaluating the Green Mining Performance of Underground Gold Mines

Green mining (GM) can achieve the harmonious development of mineral resource exploitation and environmental protection. Performance evaluation is key to promoting GM. This research explores favorable methods evaluate green performance (GMP) underground gold mines. First, according specific characteristics mines, an criteria system for GM formulated. Meanwhile, weights are calculated using integrated gray DEMATEL ANP technique, which considers correlation between indicators. Subsequently, solution methodology proposed based on normalization Finally, six mines utilized as case studies verify methodological feasibility. The results empirical study show that there a significant gap ordinary pilot this study, via comparison analysis cause–effect analysis, gives direction improvement. Not only will work provide technical theoretical support construction similar it also serve reference government policy implementation.
