摘要

本文旨在探讨一个发展中国家--加纳--矿业所在社区优先考虑/重视的社会和环境问题。为了探讨发展中国家矿业东道社区优先考虑/重视的社会和环境问题,本研究以加纳为试验案例,对普雷斯塔和博戈苏矿业东道社区的受访者进行了 18 次深入的半结构式访谈。研究结果表明,矿业所在社区的成员--被认为是最强大和最具合法性的利益相关者--对在矿业所在社区运营的矿业公司在社会和环境绩效方面施加了压力(即期望和/或担忧)。就东道社区优先考虑/重视的社会和环境问题而言,本研究的数据产生了五个主题,即一般类别:优先考虑社区发展项目、环境/可持续发展相关问题、当地人就业/当地企业发展、社会责任信息沟通以及保护当地文化和传统。本研究是一项探索性研究,只进行了 18 次深入的半结构式访谈,即采用目的性抽样。本研究的意义在于,由于发展中国家具有相似的社会经济、文化和地缘政治特征,本研究的发现可能与跨国矿业公司(MMC)运营所在的发展中国家的研究人员和政策制定者相关。尽管近几十年来矿业社区对企业社会责任的认识有所提高,但迄今为止,我们对发展中国家矿业公司所在社区优先关注/重视的社会和环境问题知之甚少。

Corporate Social Responsibility in the Mining Industry: Exploring Perspectives of Host Communities in a Developing Country
This paper aims to explore the social and environmental issues that are of priority/importance to the mining host communities in a developing country-Ghana. To explore the social and environmental issues that are of priority/importance to the mining host communities in a developing country, this study used Ghana as a test case and conducted 18 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with respondents drawn from the mining host communities of Prestea and Bogosu. The findings show that members of the host communities–the group deemed to be the most powerful and legitimacy-conferring stakeholder placed pressure (i.e., expectations and/or concerns) on the mining firms that operate in the host communities in terms of their social and environmental performance. Five themes, i.e., general categories, emerged from the data of this study in terms of the social and environmental issues that are of priority/importance to the host communities: a prioritisation of community development projects, environmental/sustainability-related issues, employment of indigenes/local enterprise development, communication of social responsibility information and preservation of local culture and tradition. This study is an exploratory study based on only 18 in-depth, semi-structured interviews, i.e., using purposive sampling. The implication of this study is that because developing countries have similar socioeconomic, cultural, and geopolitical features, the finding of this study may be relevant to researchers and policymakers in developing countries where multinational mining companies (MMCs) operate. Although mining communities’ awareness regarding corporate social responsibility has increased in recent decades, to date, we know little about the social and environmental issues that are of priority/importance to the host communities of mining firms in developing countries.
