“…In a subsidiary study, an analysis has been conducted to obtain a classification of undeveloped aggregates deposits, characterising their suitability for development, using a GIS cartographic model based on a modification of the valorisation concept proposed by Radwanek-Bąk (2007) and Nieć and Radwanek-Bąk (2011). The modified method includes the following ranking criteria: environmental and land use constraints, the quality and quantity of geological reserves, and the transport accessibility of the deposit.…”

“…The value of aggregates deposits for development can be assessed using various valorisation methods. The most comprehensive concept of deposit valorisation has been proposed by Radwanek-Bąk (2007) and Nieć and Radwanek-Bąk (2011). This is based on four criteria: geological assets, mining conditions, environmental aspects, and spatial planning constraints; these are assessed from information in available deposit documentation, resulting in a four letter classification being assigned to a deposit describing its suitability for development.…”

Spatial analysis of the mining and transport of rock minerals (aggregates) in the context of regional development

Rock minerals such as dimension and crushed stones and sands and gravels (aggregates) are indispensable materials for the building and construction industries. The growth in demand for these resources causes intensification of mining operations (and their consequent environmental impacts) and transport problems in regions abundant in rock minerals. The balanced management of these resources by regional policy-makers is difficult as it requires, among other things, comprehensive and up-to-date information on the spatial distribution and temporal changes of available reserves, demand, production, and transport. This information can be provided by means of spatial and temporal analyses through geographic information systems (GIS). In this research, the focus is on the following aspects of rock mineral (aggregates) resources and mining management in the context of regional spatial planning in the example region of Lower Silesia in Poland: the spatial and temporal changes in distribution and intensity of mining, the availability of economic reserves in active mines, the magnitude and distribution of road transport flows of aggregates, the potential of railways as an alternative means of transport, and the valorisation of undeveloped aggregates deposits to assess their suitability for future use. For the purposes of this study, cartographic models have been developed using GIS to facilitate analyses of these mineral resources, mining, and transport. The results of these analyses provide current and comprehensive information on the state of aggregates mineral resources, production and transport in the Lower Silesia region. They also give an insight into availability of rock mineral resources for the future. Knowledge of these processes is important for spatial development planning, especially physical infrastructure, conducted by national, regional, and local governments.

“…It raises several land-use conflicts: between mining-and housing, road infrastructure, nature protection, forestry, agriculture, as well as social expectations. Problems of this type occur in all countries and for their solution various methods are used (SMARA, 1975;Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, 2005;Badera, 2010;Beeby, 1998;Nieć and Myszka, 2000;Radwanek-Bąk, 2006, 2008Nieć and Radwanek-Bąk 2010;Tiess, 2010Tiess, , 2011Weber, 2012;Wexler, 1996;Wringhton et al, 2014). All of them must take into account the principles of sustainable development and a need for compromise needed in the use of space (Shields and Šolar, 2004;Minerals Planning Policies and Supply Practices in Europe 2004;Baker et al 2005;Villas Boas et al, 2005;Radwanek-Bąk, 2005;Wagner and Tiess, 2008; Improving framework conditions for extracting minerals for the EU.…”

“…Assessment of the accessibility of a particular mineral resource deposit for development requires consideration and evaluation of numerous, known, factors, included among these being geological and mining conditions, resource quality, environmental and spatial planning constraints, and social factors (Radwanek-Bak 2007;Uberman 2011). Environmental and spatial planning, including social factors are of major importance because of today's awareness of environmental issues.…”

The research aimed to assess the accessibility of a brown coal deposit for development with respect to environmental and land use functions of the terrain. A combination of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Weighted Linear Combination methodology was proposed to determine weights of environmental and spatial (land use) factors conditioning development of an open-cast mine project and to produce a composite accessibility map in a geographic information system (GIS). The environmental and spatial factors (criteria) were identified in a survey of a group of experts, and the weights were determined by pairwise comparison of criteria by the same group of experts. The following ones were identified as the most significant factors constraining development of a brown coal open-cast mining project: nature protection areas, cultural and historical monuments, populated areas, underground water reservoirs and surface waters. The research was done on a case study of the Legnica brown coal deposit located in the Dolnoslaskie Province in SW Poland. The identified criteria were mapped and standardized in GIS. The final composite map was obtained in the result of a weighted map overlay analysis with the weights determined in the result of AHP analysis. The results, presented graphically and statistically, show that the western area of the three analysed Legnica deposit coal fields is the least inaccessible with respect to the analysed criteria and that the northern one is the most inaccessible. The results can be used to support sustainable spatial policy and development on all levels of public administration.
