“…The TOE framework has been used to study applications of information technology [ 16 ]. Recent studies have used the TOE framework to examine both remote and office work, as it provides a theoretical foundation for the analysis of organisational and environmental barriers and enablers [ [17] , [18] , [19] ].…”

“…The mining industry has been criticized for being slower than other sectors in incorporating innovation in their operations and practices [4,24,133], and this constitutes an important business risk for the mining industry [24]. Our results demonstrated that out of the three winners of the student challenge, shrimp farming provided the most sustainable and innovative repurposing.…”

A Quantitative Sustainability Assessment for Mine Closure and Repurposing Alternatives in Colorado, USA

Responsible mine closure and repurposing are key to contributing to sustainable development by ensuring successful environmental rehabilitation and reducing socioeconomic risks. However, mine closure has primarily focused on remediation and rehabilitation of mined lands with limited consideration of stakeholder perspectives and the broader social, economic, and cultural impacts of closure. In this paper, we use stakeholder input to evaluate and compare three different repurposing alternatives for the tailings dam area of a mine in the state of Colorado, USA, which is expected to close in the next twenty years. By using multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), we determine which alternative better reflects stakeholder preferences and results in the most economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable outcome. Our results show that although stakeholder groups have different ideas about what constitutes sustainable development in the context of mine closure and repurposing, it is possible to identify to what extent different scenarios can address these perspectives. We argue that integrating stakeholder views into mine closure design and repurposing can lead to more responsible and sustainable mine closure that is unique to a particular setting and stakeholder needs, and we provide a methodology that mining companies may use to understand stakeholder priorities and preferences.

“…PBEFT is assured if a new product provides more value, has a small option base, and also compensates if customers choose to turn to the previous one again (Ediriweera and Wiewiora, 2021). However, the actions of households against new technology affect PBEFT.…”

Since employing environmentally friendly technologies (EFTs) is a complicated and difficult process that is affected by multiple factors, researchers are encouraged to explore those influence factors. This research aims to estimate the households’ perception factors affecting the adoption intentions of EFTs. Based on a questionnaire survey from 782 Pakistani households, a structural equation modeling strategy yields empirical results. The main findings are: firstly, the drivers of adoption intention of EFTs include technological awareness, perceived environmental importance, perceived behavioral control, and perceived benefits. Secondly, significant barriers to the adoption intention of EFTs involve the perceived cost of EFTs and the perceived risk-averse behavior of households. Thirdly, among all factors, perceived environmental importance reveals the most substantial contribution, whereas perceived risk-averse behavior shows the least contribution to the adoption intention of EFTs. Finally, given these results, strengthening the financial benefits, controlling the roaring cost of EFTs, and the provision of rebates and subsidization are suggested to upscale the adoption intention of EFTs by the households.
