Using Management of Technologies to Avoid Social Conflicts around the Area of Large Scale Mining Project in Madagascar

The emergence of large scale mining projects is a lever for economic growth for a country ranked among the poorest in the world as Madagascar. The Government supported by donors like the World Bank has taken steps to encourage the investors in this regard. But local communities in the area of implementation of the project can be a barrier delaying or even halting the project. This paper aims to study the interactions between a large scale mining project and its host environment to better understand the dynamics of this system and find ways to anticipate its future. The mathematical theory of graph was used to model the relational transactions between elements of the system formed by the project and its host community. Then we wrote algorithms and queries on visual basic and pyton to implement the model on a computer system. We found that this software can be a ground surveillance system for the mining company to anticipate possible social conflicts and adjust the action to be taken in time to avoid it.
