Prioritization Of Plants In The Choghart Iron Ore Mine Reclamation Project By Promethee Method And Comparison With The Results Of The Fuzzy Topsis Method (Case Study: Choghart Iron Ore Mine)

Mining operations as an activity play a role in environmental changes, which by utilizing new technologies, it is possible to decrease and minimize the environmental damage, while exploiting them principally. The reclamation of the mine is the most important plan to restore the mined land to the original state, and then to restore the area in different ways. When a case study was conducted in Choghart iron ore mine, the species were selected according to the suitability with initial factors of the reclamation plan including the type of mined land reuse, the climatic conditions, and the nature of the soil. Then, the secondary factors (criteria) were determined, and the decision matrices were obtained based on the questionnaires completed by the experts, and the plant species were prioritized based on the regional spectacle criteria, resistance against disease and insects, power and growth, access to plant species, economic efficiency, soil conservation and water supply and prevention of various types of pollution, by multi-criteria decision-making methods. It should be noted that the weights of the criteria are compared by Fuzzy AHP method and general prioritization of the options by PROMETHEE and Fuzzy TOPSIS methods. The most suitable plant species in the mining range and tailings dam obtained in order of priority in PROMETHEE method are tamarisk (0.78), palm (0.11), eucalyptus (0.04) and pine (0.85), respectivel
