Abstract

Mining of rock minerals, constitutes a strong stimulus for economic development and at the same time, can significantly and negatively affect the state of natural environment, roads and well-being of local communities. This paper presents methodology for studies of spatial impact of rock minerals mining in the Lower Silesia region (SW Poland). In the region majority of magmatic, metamorphic and other rock minerals occur in Poland and their intensive mining is an important sector of regional economy. The concept of mining density (mineral production per unit area) has been introduced and the changes of rock minerals mining in the period of the last 8 years (2006-2013) have been analysed and presented graphically with GIS-based methodology. Mining density increased from 2006 to 2011 and decreased from 2011 to 2013. Change in the spatial pattern of mining density between 2006 and 2013, despite comparable volume of rock minerals production, has been identified. In addition proximity of mines to human settlements, nature protection areas and railways (potential transport routes) has been analysed. Comprehensive and coherent information on rock minerals mining for the area of Lower Silesia provided in this study has been used in developing and implementing regional spatial development policy and attaining the balance between the economic needs, nature protection requirements and the well-being of its citizens.

基于gis的岩石矿物开采空间评价——以波兰西南部下西里西亚地区为例

岩石矿物的开采是经济发展的有力刺激，同时也会对自然环境、道路和当地社区的福利产生重大的不利影响。本文提出了研究岩石矿物开采在下西里西亚地区(波兰西南部)的空间影响的方法。波兰是该地区岩浆、变质岩和其他岩石矿物的主要产地，其密集开采是该地区经济的重要组成部分。引入了采矿密度(单位面积矿物产量)的概念，并利用基于gis的方法分析了过去8年(2006-2013年)期间岩石矿物开采的变化，并以图形方式呈现。开采密度在2006 - 2011年呈上升趋势，2011 - 2013年呈下降趋势。2006年至2013年间，尽管岩石矿物产量相当，但采矿密度的空间格局发生了变化。此外，还分析了地雷靠近人类住区、自然保护区和铁路(可能的运输路线)。本研究提供的关于下西里西亚地区岩石矿物开采的全面和连贯的资料已用于制定和执行区域空间发展政策，并在经济需要、自然保护要求和公民福利之间取得平衡。
