Mine Surveying Technologies in Indonesia

Abstract

The development of mine surveying technology has made major changes in mine surveying work. However, the use of mine surveying technology in developing countries is still underdeveloped. Therefore, this study aims to identify various mine surveying technologies in Indonesia based on mine surveyor perceptions and to analyse the influence of education background on the mine surveyor’ perceptions about mine surveying technologies. The study was conducted using a survey on 155 mine surveyors based on their education level. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA. This study shows that there are still mine surveying technologies that are not commonly used in Indonesia, and there are significant differences in perceptions of the mine surveying technology, especially for mine surveyors graduating from senior secondary school with those graduating from diploma and undergraduate degrees.
