The three broad approaches represent how the existence or source of any hazard is modeled as risk in relation to vulnerable recep…

Exploring the Decision Space: Spatial Decision Support Systems

In Chapter 5, Figure 5.6 showed how there is a range of alternative, even complementary strategies that could be put forward to r…

Spatial Coexistence

This is the most common approach to GIS and environmental modeling and has been particularly popular throughout the history of GI…

Checking system over the state of cross-section

Ensuring in the possibility of the reuse of the layered workings allows cutting the prime costs of the coal mining. In the condit…

Geotechnical Mapping of Underground Exposures

Mapping of exposed rock faces allows for the direct assessment of several rock mass characterization parameters that cannot be es…

Stope Production Scheduling to Mine

Scheduling is an essential component of the stope planning process, as it adds a time dimension to all the functions within the p…
