Events that change the global economy rapidly, without warning, in principle strongly affect mining, which is one of pillars development. After first months Covid-19 pandemic, mining pillar seems to be relatively stable. In this study, thanks meeting an international team, it was possible collect and compare a set data on impact mining. contrast general assessments stability sector, authors decided assess at individual stages project life cycle. way, identify most impacted fragments pillar....
This study examines the four cases of World Heritage protected cultural landscapes in Europe that are characterized by mining order to identify role plays today such landscapes, legal requirements for their protection, and also exploration exploitation these areas differences exist between five European countries concerned. Using a qualitative comparative case approach, authors find active is taking place Austrian case, happening adjacent German/Czech landscape. The protection mainly based...
Abstract. Within the ROBOMINERS project an innovative technology for future exploitation of small and difficult to access mineral deposits is being studied. The has two main objectives. First, development a bioinspired reconfigurable robotic miner prototype, able navigate, explore mine selectively with certain degree autonomy. robot-miner will be work under different conditions, making many economically feasible, while reducing social environmental impacts associated conventional mining...
Major benefits and constraints related to mineral extraction within the EU have been identified on examples of selected critical raw materials’ deposits. Analyzed case studies include following ore deposits: Myszków Mo-W-Cu (Poland), Juomasuo Au-Co (Finland), S. Pedro das Águias W-Sn (Portugal), Penouta Nb-Ta-Sn (Spain), Norra Kärr REEs (Sweden) Trælen graphite (Norway). They represent different stages development, from early/grassroot exploration stage, through advanced active mining, up...
Mineral deposits are essential for the economic, technological and social development. However, to enable them play an appropriate role in process of sustainable development, they need be safeguarded a comprehensive systemic manner same measure as other elements environment. The practice securing access areas where mineral can found is based on statement that extracted only places occur. This fact defines type scope instruments safeguarding prospective deposit minerals their documented...
Secure and sustainable supply of minerals is important for the stable development a country’s economy, as well global economy. Poland’s economic performance—as dynamically developing country—is also largely dependent on availability security their supplies both from internal sources form imports. In Poland, 42 key minerals—i.e., those fundamental importance proper functioning economy satisfying living needs society—have been recently indicated. From among them, 19 have recognized by authors...
Abstract MINATUR A2020 project’s aim is to develop a concept and multi-dimensional methodology of assignment - in consequence safeguarding the Mineral Deposits Public Importance (MDoPI) at European (EU), country (CL ) regional/local level (RL ), order ensure their optimal use for future needs society. MDoPI proposed within project, was tested few EU regions, including Dolnośląskie Province Poland, where undeveloped deposits were verified. Initially, 4 selected groups minerals tested:...
The EU's demand for numerous mineral raw materials is growing intensively, while the security of their supplies (mostly form outside EU) often at high risk. This especially case critical (CRMs). Poland now and may be in future most important supplier to other EU countries. coking coal, copper, silver elemental sulfur. article briefly evaluates current possibilities supply these from market.
The Social License to Operate (SLO), understood as the consent of a wide group stakeholders mining activities, has become an important element in process obtaining license recent years. Such pattern increasing importance is common, both Poland and throughout EU. Therefore, it should be key prevent society’s reluctance this industry. article indicates that very tool matter reliable knowledge-based raw materials education, carried out early at stage school education. Deficiencies respect were...
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki waloryzacji złóż kruszyw piaskowo-żwirowych w Polsce. Celem badań była identyfikacja najbardziej cennych o potencjalnie strategicznym znaczeniu, które wymagają objęcia ochroną. Do analizy wytypowane zostały niezagospodarowane złoża żwirowych (zawartość żwiru powyżej 70%) zasobach 10 mln ton oraz 25–70%) 20 t. Waloryzacja została przeprowadzona przy użyciu dwóch wielkokryterialnych metodyk oceny złóż, z których pierwsza zaproponowana przez Niecia i Radwanek-Bąk...
Abstract Known mostly in Poland, formulated by prof. Goetel, science—sozology, perfectly corresponds to today’s developing pro-environmental activities. Sozology combines both concerns for the precious values of primaeval nature and management man transformed areas. It includes civilisation changes, climate change, access natural resources. The article discusses five main research directions: (1) Protection environment mineral resources, (2) Rational spatial management, (3) Post-exploitation...
Landscape parks are one of the most important tools for nature conservation in Europe. Cultural landscape protection, coupled particular with rural tradition land use plays a very role. A common feature these popular protected areas is fact that they established legally, accordance principle sustainable development. Activities carried out not entirely subservient to conservation. This makes them different from national and natural reserves. In Poland, together their buffer zones cover more...
