Summary/Abstract: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are essential in volumetric calculations due to their ability to manipulate and analyze complex spatial data. In the context of quarry operations and aggregate extraction, GIS provides a feasible framework for collecting, managing, and analyzing data used in volume calculations. By utilizing GIS tools, it is possible to accurately assess the volumes of materials extracted from various quarry areas, thereby facilitating efficient planning of operations and sustainable resource management.Optimal quarry management is crucial to avoid depletion of natural resources, minimize negative environmental impact, and ensure the sustainability of extraction activities. GIS analyses within the quarrying domain assist in resource assessment, identification of sustainable extraction practices, and appropriate management of the impact on local ecosystems.
