Of course, each pit or quarry has unique characteristics and impacts, but every pit or quarry will degrade the natural environment. For pits or quarries situated on lands designated as ecologically significant, this degradation has an even greater adverse impact. For communities, the displacement of water resources is one of the biggest ...
This coupled by the high colour contrast of marble quarry faces with their surroundings (Pinto et al., 2002) and their large vertical dimensions, makes marble quarry pits conspicuous landscape elements noticeable from far-away distances. One of the most important environmental impacts of quarries is the visual impact (Pinto et al., 2002).
Although quarrying may fulfill the requirement of resources and contribute towards the local economy, the unsustainable quarrying practices are gravely affecting the nearby environment.
Therefore, the improvement of energy and environmental performances are relevant targets because precious building materials such as marble have a significant impact on the environment.
