Evaluation and modeling of the effects of mining on the surrounding Rural with mixed method (Case study: Anderyan gold mine in Varzeghan city)

The purpose of the present research is to investigate the effects of the Andariyan gold mine on the surrounding villages, which are purposefully applied and in terms of nature and method, descriptive-analytical. The statistical population is households in the Kharvana section of Varzaqan. The sample size was 352 households using the Cochran formula and was used for simple random sampling. Data gathering method is library and field research (researcher-made questionnaire). The validity of the research based on formal validity and reliability test was obtained through Cronbach's alpha test with the desirability of 0.714. Since answering the questions was not impossible with the use of a technique, the DPSIR and PLS method was used to create a deeper understanding of the subject than the mixed case method. In the results of the model component (DPSIR), the Propellant of "regional development, resource consumption, employment and population dynamics" are the subject of pressures such as "water consumption, liquid waste discharge, energy consumption, emissions, solid waste production and land use change", and The process of "air, water, land, biodiversity, and environmental upgrades." "Changes in ecosystems, quality of life and human health, acid rain, migration, habitat destruction, rangeland destruction, vegetation loss in the region, declining agricultural land, various diseases and threats to wildlife" are the effects that have been achieved. Responses to "refining water; preventing the spread of contaminated water to more points; reuse and recycling water; use of extraction methods with minimal environmental pollution; planning of wildlife; creating green spaces and planting trees around the mine to aid air purification; and Definition of a safe place to bury waste ". Using the results obtained by PLS method and using Warp-PLS software, structural equations were modeled in two stages: "model of measurement" and "structural model". The correctness of theoretical concepts, internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, structural differential validity, significant path coefficients, acceptable values of the Aston Geyser test, and appropriate fitting of the model indicates that the considered model has the required capacity and predictive power.
