Sustainable Management Model of Construction Minerals Mine Using a System Dynamics Approach

Construction minerals are vital to the supply of raw materials, especially for the construction industry, one of the world's most essential and oldest industries. However, construction minerals mines pose challenges to sustainable development due to their impacts on the sustainable development principle, including four pillars: social, economic, environmental, and institutional. Unmanaged mines will affect sustainability, so a systemic approach is needed to analyze and evaluate sustainability using indicators or attributes of each dimension. This research sought to construct the relationship between social, economic, environmental, and institutional leverage attributes and dimension sustainability. Therefore, we developed system dynamics models to describe the dynamism of dimension sustainability in the case of the construction minerals mine in Jeneberang River in three scenarios based on actual sustainability conditions. The simulation results show that the sustainability index value of Scenario 3 is the worst, which means all dimensions will be less and unsustainable. Meanwhile, Scenario 2 is the best scenario, where all dimensions of sustainability index values will increase and become relatively sustainable and sustainable.
