AFONSO-BAMBI, André; MONTERO-PENA, Juan Manuel  e  WATSON-QUESADA, Roberto. Sustainability indicators for the extractive mining industry in Uige, Angola. Min. Geol. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.2, pp. 233-251. ISSN 1993-8012.

There is no procedure for evaluating the sustainability of the extractive mining industry of construction materials in the province of Uige (Angola). The purpose of this research is to propose a system of sustainability indicators that work as an instrument measuring the sustainable development degree in the mining sector, taking into account the technical and organizational status of the quarries and the environmental, economic and social dimensions. The diagnosis in Uige mining scenarios and communities was carried out by using empirical methods such as: survey and interview and four types of indicators were created: 1) mining management, 2) economic growth, 3) compensation and 4) development, such value revealed the non-sustainability of the mining company in the province. For each driver that makes up the socioeconomic scenario in Uige are proposed actions based on this information.
