Społeczno-gospodarcze konsekwencje rozwoju górnictwa w Mongolii

Abstract

The doctoral dissertation entitled "Socio-economic consequences of the development of mining in Mongolia" presents the results of research on the mining industry and the social and economic consequences of its expansion since the beginning of the systemie transformation in the early 1990s. The ecological effects of mining strongly affect these spheres. They primarily impact local pastoral communities and ecosystems, where they have led a nomadic lifestyle in harmony with nature and its natural cycles for centuries. Considering that the country's further development will be related to the exploitation of minerał resources, which in Mongolia occur in great diversity and abundance, future challenges related to the restructuring and revitalization of post-mining areas should already be anticipated today. The dissertation has theoretical and empirical character. The considerations concem the period 1990-2023. The following research methods were used: analysis of the literature on the subject, collection and analysis of statistical data, interviews conducted using the PAPI method with nomads currently living in the ger district near Ulaanbaatar, in-depth interview with the plenipotentiary of the Management Board of the Łódź Voivodeship for the transformation of the Bełchatów region - Maciej Kozakiewicz.
