In- volvement of all interested stakeholders from the early stages of the planning phase is an inte- gral part of the "social license" which is earned and allows the society to monitor and measure the performance of the project and the company throughout the quarry life cycle. The planning process should include an in depth analysis of all political, economic, social and technological factors involved. This paper aims to discuss the most important issues related to stakeholder identification and analysis and the way this pro- cess can be improved for the benefit of both the company and the society. It is believed that such an approach also allows companies to achieve realistic views of the concerns of the people and the way they value their environm...

The goals and objectives included in the Plan were developed with input from the public, some of which was obtained through a telephone survey. We report results of the survey. Members of the American public were asked about their values with respect to public lands, objectives for the management of public lands, beliefs about the role the agency should play in fulfilling those objectives, and attitudes about the job the agency has been doing. The public sees the promotion of ecosystem health as an important objective and role for the agency. There is strong support for protecting watersheds. The public supports multiple uses, but not all uses equally. Motorized recreation is not a high priority objective, while preserving the ability to have a "wilderness experience" is important. There is moderate support for providing resources to dependent communities. The provision of less consumptiv...

Also, a lack in formalization, in the logical sense, has led to some misunderstandings and misinterpretation of the concepts and their applicability. It is the purpose of this paper, besides reviewing present day status of the indicators of sustainability for the minerals extraction industries in LA,to stress and point out some necessary logical formulations for the sustainability ideas and indicators.
