Mapping what matters: Integrating PPGIS into social impact assessment for mine planning and closure
Community values toward landscapes, particularly before mining begins, are often overlooked in conventional social impact assessments in the mining industry. These emotional, cultural and relational values tend to be intangible and difficult to incorporate into formal planning tools. We propose public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) as an underutilized method to address this gap. Rooted in participatory planning and spatial a…
Integrating cultural and spiritual restoration into mine closure: The case of wayside shrines and crosses
Designing Community Participation for Mine Closure and Social Transition
As mining‐dependent countries confront the dual challenge of transitioning to low‐carbon economies and recovering from the COVID‐19 pandemic, the imperative to convert resource wealth into long‐term social and economic resilience has never been greater. In these contexts, sustainable development is now widely understood to be achievable only when participation occurs—when beneficiaries become active agents in shaping their futures. This demands m…
Visiting mine reclamation: How field experience shapes perceptions of mining
Recognizing the prevailing negative public opinion on mining, it is important to understand how firsthand encounters with mining activities might influence these perceptions. This study investigates how field trips to open pit coal mines and their reclamation sites in the Czech Republic affected the attitudes of 148 university students toward mining and mine reclamation. Using pre and post trip questionnaires, we observed significant changes: Stu…
Engaging with justice in integrated landscape approaches
Climate and biodiversity crises, conflicts over access to land, water, or food, multiple and overlapping types of land management and livelihoods are some of the players that describe current landscape challenges worldwide. It has been broadly acknowledged that addressing interconnected social and ecological challenges needs integrated solutions at landscape scale. Integrated landscape approaches (ILAs) are governance strategies that deal with th…
Values-driven water management in coal seam gas industries
The literature on beneficial reuse of coal seam water (CSW) has a strong techno-engineering focus with a clear gap concerning the wider social implications of CSW reuse and its associated multiple values. • The most prominent issues that should be investigated further in terms of the multiple values associated with CSG were justice, equity, sustainability, governance, sense of place, identity, conservation, and social cohesion. • To aid in the id…
Place re‐making and sense of place after quarrying and social‐ecological restoration
Rapid urbanization increases pressure on extracting construction materials through quarrying, which is disrupting and re‐making places worldwide. In this study, we examine how people's place making and sense of place are reconfigured through quarrying. Taking a case study approach, we investigate perceptions of sense of place after quarrying and social‐ecological restoration in a limestone region of the Czech Republic. Our survey of 400 visitors …
Does Increasing Farm Plot Size Influence the Visual Quality of Everyday Agricultural Landscapes
The increase in farm plot size is one of the most apparent and significant trends that have influenced central and eastern European agricultural landscapes since the 1950s. In many countries where the average plot size in traditional land-use systems did not exceed several hectares, present-day plots reach the size of 200 ha or more. In recent times, efforts have been made to reverse this trend to restore important ecosystem functions and to re-e…
Conceptual framework to assist in the decision-making process when planning for post-mining land-uses
Comparative capacity of global mining regions to transition to a post-mining future
Facilitating the Czech Coal Phase-Out: What Drives Inter-Organizational Collaboration
Responses to current environmental challenges, such as the energy transition, require collaboration among diverse actors interacting in complex and conflicting policy settings. This study examines the drivers of inter-organizational collaboration within the conflictual context of Czech coal phase-out by investigating hypotheses on belief homophily, political influence, and expert information. It uses a sequential mixed-methods research design com…
A global vulnerability analysis of displacement caused by resource development projects
The social and environmental complexities of extracting energy transition metals
Environmental, social and governance pressures should feature in future scenario planning about the transition to a low carbon future. As low-carbon energy technologies advance, markets are driving demand for energy transition metals. Increased extraction rates will augment the stress placed on people and the environment in extractive locations. To quantify this stress, we develop a set of global composite environmental, social and governance ind…
Catastrophic tailings dam failures and disaster risk disclosure
The global mining industry produces billions of tonnes of mine tailings each year. This slurry of waste material is often contained in dams, which are among some of the world’s largest engineered structures. Several recent and catastrophic tailings dam disasters bring the complex interaction between a mine and its local operating context into plain sight. The absence of public, timely, multi-scalar information about the multiple dimensions of thi…
The global energy transition and place attachment in coal mining communities: Implications for heavily industrialized landscapes
A contested transition toward a coal-free future: Advocacy coalitions and coal policy in the Czech Republic
Presentation Matters: Causes of Differences in Preferences for Agricultural Landscapes Displayed via Photographs and Videos
This study shows the importance of landscape scene composition in relation to aesthetic ratings used in preference research where static and dynamic presentation methods substitute landscape onsite evaluation. We aimed to evaluate whether the method of presenting a landscape scene influenced aesthetic ratings and whether these potential differences in ratings were affected by the composition of the static presentation. Using a questionnaire for r…
