“…Methods of policy evaluation include: factor evaluation methods, cost-benefit analysis, a benefits fuzzy evaluation method, an analytic hierarchy process, a directly comparative evaluation method, before and after analysis, a possible satisfaction method, and others [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Among them, the before and after analysis is the basic method of policy evaluation and is the basic frame of mind for evaluation activities [21].…”

Rapid industrialization, as one of the main driving forces promoting sustainable economic growth, has increased the area of industrial land use significantly. Industrial land use manifests that the competition between it and other kinds of land use is growing. During the last decade in China, many targeted industrial land use policies have been enacted to stimulate appropriate industrial land use and to promote healthy economic development. However, it is difficult for scholars and governments of rapidly developing countries to judge and evaluate the performance of such policies. Based on statistical data gathered over almost 10 years and an idea called "industrial land equivalent" (ILE), this paper analyzes the contribution made by the implementation of industrial land use policy to economic development, using a Cobb-Douglas production function by which to quantify the influence of land institutions and land regulation systems. The result of the study shows that factors, such as industrial land, labor and capital, all play an important role in GDP growth. Additionally, it is found that industrial land institutions and regulation systems have a strongly positive influence on economic development. It was also found that the influence of policy in eastern China is greater than that in the west and that repeated, short-term land regulation has a negative effect on the economy. Therefore, it is profoundly important for the Chinese economy that a stable and durable industrial land use policy be maintained as the industrial center migrates to the Midwest.

“…Some other researchers (Narrei & Osanloo, 2011;Soltanmohammadi, Osanloo, & Bazzazi, 2010;Bangian, Ataei, Sayadi, & Gholinejad, 2012;Masoumi & Rashidinejad, 2011) have provided a framework of classification which groups all feasible post-mining land-uses that literature has addressed under an eight-group orderly form, containing 21 or more individual land-uses. The eight groups (Table 1) as reported by these researchers are: agriculture land-use; forestry land-use; lake or pool land-use; intensive recreational land-use; non-intensive recreational land-use; construction land-use; conservation and pit backfilling.…”

“…Post-mining land-use is the most fundamental parameter that establishes the costs of closure and reclamation activities of a given mine site (Bangian, et al 2012). Soltanmohammadi, et al (2010) and Morrey (1999) on the other hand noted that since it is the choice of post-mine land-use that informs the methods, measures, and the cost of mine reclamation, a major implicit objective of mine reclamation is to carefully evaluate and determine end use options. There is the need for industry, regulators, and the general public to recognize the basic nature of the science of restoration ecology and what it can and cannot achieve (Cooke & Johnson, 2002).…”

The ultimate objective of post-mine land-use and reclamation planning is to identify appropriate alternate land uses to which mined land could be put. This will ensure that land-use and morphology of the location will be capable of supporting either the prior land-use or pre-mining environment. The main challenge is usually, the choice of variables that must be considered in deciding a particular post-mining land-use. Literature reviews were conducted to identify the major factors needed to be considered in the selection of a post-mining land-use. This paper also looks at the most commonly practiced and accepted post-mining land-use techniques. Factors identified as important in the selection process include land resources (e.g. physical, biological and cultural characteristics), ownership, type of mining activity, legal requirements, location, needs of the community, economic, environmental, technical and social factors. In a broad categorization, all post-mining land-uses could be placed under one of the following land-use: agriculture, forestry, lake or pool, intensive recreational land-use, non-intensive recreational land-use, conservation and pit backfilling. However, the objective of any particular post-mining land use should be achieving economic and sustainable outcomes which meet human wants and needs, and protect life and the environment.

“…From among reclamation approaches, planting and forestry are the most desirable choices for the reclamation of mined lands, leading to restore pre-mining environment and condition. Moreover, an appropriate reclamation plan can provide convenient post-mining land use (Osanloo & Parsaei, 2004;Soltanmohammadi et al, 2010). A proper implementation of mine reclamation plan is remarkable from planting point of view, leading to preparing suitable condition for plant growing and environment protection (Xia et al, 2007).…”

Soltanmohammadi et al (2010) have used combination of group versions of AHP and TOPSIS techniques to determine a preference ranking list for possible post-mining land uses of a hypothetical mined land based on the Mined Land Suitability Analysis framework.

Pla nt species selection is a multi-criteria evaluation decision and has a strategic importance for many companies. The conventional methods for plant species selection are inadequate for dealing with the imprecise or vague nature of linguistic assessment. To overcome this difficulty, fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methods are proposed. The aim of this study is to use the fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (F.TOPSIS) methods for the selection of plant species in mine reclamation plan. Plant type selection and planting to protect the environment and the reclamation of the mine are some of the most important solutions. Therefore, the objective of the current research study is to choose the proper plant types for reclamation of Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine using Fuzzy-topsis method. In this regard, primarily, surrounding area of Sarcheshmeh copper mine, one of the world's 10 biggest copper mine which is located near Kerman city of Iran, are surveyed, to choose the best plant type for reclamation of disturbance area. With this respect, based on reclamation plan, primary criteria were consisted of kinds of post mining land use, climate, and nature of soil. Comparison matrixes were then obtained based on experts' opinion and plant types were subsequently prioritized using the Fuzzy Topsis method. Secondary factors considered through the analysis were as follows: pers pective of the region, resistance against disease and insects, stre ngth and method of growth, availability to plant type, economic efficiency, protection of soil, storing water, and prevention of pollution. Finally, suitable plant types in the mining perimeter were prioritized as: Amygdalus scoparia, Tamarix, Pistachio Wild, Ephedra, Astragalus, Salsola, respectively. Keywords: mine reclamation, plan t type selection, Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine, Fuzzy TOPSIS Wybór gatunków roślin jest decyzją podejmowaną w oparciu o wiele kryteriów i stanowi poważne wyzwanie strategiczne dla wielu firm. Konwencjonalne metody wyboru gatunków roślin okazują się niewystarczające w przypadku nieprecyzyjnej oceny i nie w pełni zdefiniowanych określeń językowych. W celu przezwyciężenia tych trudności, zaproponowano wielo-kryterialną metodę decyzyjną wykorzystującą logikę rozmytą. Celem tego opracowania jest ukazanie zastosowania podejścia rozmytego do uzyskania kolejnych przybliżeń do rozwiązania idealnego (F.TOPSIS) przy wyborze odpowiednich gatunków roślin do użycia w projekcie rekultywacji terenów kopalni. Wybór gatunków roślin i ich kultywacja dla zapewnienia ochrony środowiska i projektu rekultywacji terenu pogórniczego to bardzo ważne zagadnienia. Głównym celem obecnego studium jest wybór odpowiednich gatunków roślin do wykorzystania projekcie rekultywacji terenów kopalni miedzi Sarcheshmeh z wykorzystaniem metod logiki rozmytej TOPSIS. W pierwszym rzędzie przeprowadzono badania gruntów wokół kopalni miedzi Sarchesmeh, w pobliżu miejscowości Kerman w Iranie (jednej z dziesięciu największych na świecie kopalni miedzi) w celu wyboru najleps...
