The article attempts to highlight the historical resistance of tribals against development-induced displacement both during pre- and post-independence in Odisha and discuss the magnitude of displacement due to development-induced projects, impacts, rehabilitation, and resettlement.

Surface subsidence is a dominant component of the displacement vector triggered by underground mining. Over the last few decades, Differential Interferometry …

Abstract. Sublevel mining methods are very popular in Canadian metal mines, which enable maximum recovery due to pillar-less mining. Ore is recovered by backfilling stopes and mining pillars after curing of backfilled stopes. Backfill material must be engineered to avoid backfill failure leading to dilution of precious ore. Current practice …

The object of this paper is to present mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR) as a highly diverse global socioeconomic issue occurring in all regions of the world, as a human rights issue, and as a source of challenges to public international law and and institutions providing humanitarian assistance. Development-induced …

1 Development projects like mining, hydroelectric dams, and urban infrastructure can have significant impacts on local communities. These effects range from creating new jobs and improving public services to causing environmental harm, increased poverty, and people being forced to move from their homes.

Using the example of the AGL mining company and the Damang community in Ghana, this study sought to assess the extent of adherence to government policies as …

Downward route backfill is the main mining method used in Shanjin gold mine, due to its crashed rock mass in the underground mining area. The stage height, sublevel height, and layer height are 40 ...

The ability to identify ground movements in the unique environment of an underground coalmine is explored through the use of laser scanning. Time-lapse scans were performed in an underground coal mine to detect rib surface change after different volumes of coal were removed from the mine ribs. Surface changes in the rib as small …

This paper aims to examine the intractable paradox in compensating the victims of the mining-induced resettlements and displacement (MIDR) policy …

This book studies how Development-Induced Displacement (DID) radically restructures gender relations in indigenous tribal societies. Through an indepth case study of the Indian state of Meghalaya, one of the few matrilineal societies of the world, it analyses how people cope with conflicts in their perception of self, family, and society …

According to a report published in recent years, developments in the mining industry are the cause of about 10.3 percent of all displacements in the world. This means that more than a million people per year may be resettled as a result of resource extraction in various parts of the globe. Countries displaying the greatest growth rate of this …

Abstract Forced displacement by development projects seriously affects the well-being of communities, revealing mixed and varied outcomes. Although scholars and policymakers have recognized the need for new forms of interventions, gender aspects of displacement and rehabilitation remain mostly unexamined in the empirical literature, …

Mining-induced displacement is currently not a statistically significant category of development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR). Nevertheless, the social costs of exploitation are great, and that is why the topic is worthy of a wider and more profound scientific analysis. The first displacement caused by mining dates back …

However, much of what we know about mining-induced displacement in Zimbabwe is the impact on the livelihoods of displaced people (see, for instance, Robinson, 2003; Lillywhite et al., 2015; Ogwang and Vanclay, 2021), and more often displaced people are framed as passive and hopeless victims of displacement. Be that as it may, this …

1. Introduction. Physical displacement, relocation and resettlement are widely acknowledged as posing enormous risks to project-affected peoples. For over four decades, scholars, campaigners and project-affected people have sought to highlight the effects of development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR). 1, 2 During this …

The focus of interviews was to understand how mining companies approach the topic of involuntary resettlement, and to explore how this affects the mobilisation of …

Category - MINING INCIDENTS AND ALERTS 'Sudden release' kills two, injures six underground mine workers. 2 months ago. 2 Min Read. An unexpected movement injured and ended the lives of multiple subterranean employees. Authorities recently examined how two workers passed away, and a further six suffered lost-time injuries at an...

Abstract. Forced displacement by development projects seriously affects the well-being of communities, revealing mixed and varied outcomes. Although scholars and policymakers have recognized the need for new forms of interventions, gender aspects of displacement and rehabilitation remain mostly unexamined in the empirical literature, …

Underground mining often causes large-gradient vertical and horizontal displacement in ground surface, resulting in the losses of coherence and difficulties in phase unwrapping. This article presents an approach to determine three-dimensional ground displacements in mining areas with the large gradient or phase decorrelation by …

Given the background of a transmission tower erected on a particular mining subsidence area, we used finite element modeling to analyze the anti-deformation performance of transmission towers under a number of different load conditions, including horizontal foundation displacement, uneven vertical downward displacement, wind …

The max-pooling operation in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) downsamples the feature maps of convolutional layers. However, in doing so, it loses some spatial information.

The extraction of underground minerals in hilly regions is highly susceptible to landslides, which requires the application of InSAR techniques to monitor the surface displacement. However, repeated mining for multiple coal seams can cause a large displacement beyond the detectable gradient of the traditional InSAR technique, …

The transformation in the structure of the world mining industry over the last decade has opened up enormous new regions for mineral exploration and development by transnational mining companies in countries in the South. This new access has inevitably brought mining companies into conflict with local communities. With the involvement of …

This paper presents a novel method for modeling and robustly estimating the time-series 3-D mining-induced large displacements from a single imaging geometry (SIG) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude data set using the offset-tracking (OT) technique (hereafter referred to as the OT-SIG). It first generates multitemporal observations of 3-D mining …

Due to these numerous ongoing discoveries of mineral deposits across the country, residents in the following areas are living in fear of involuntary displacements to …

J-WAFS researchers Scott Odell, a visiting researcher in MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative, and John Fernández, a professor in MIT's Department of Architecture, are examining climate change, copper mining, and desalination, and their environmental and social impacts on Indigenous communities, glaciers, and agriculture …

This chapter focuses on how the legal framework for mining-induced resettlements in South Africa fails to address the problems arising from mining-induced resettlements and displacements. Mine-affected communities are regularly denied an opportunity to engage meaningfully in influencing the decisions about their involuntary resettlement.

This ethnographic study examined mining-induced displacement and the existential resilience of displaced people in Chiadzwa community of eastern Zimbabwe.. Study reveals that mining-induced displacement configured new and exacerbated old forms of livelihood vulnerabilities and precarities. • Pre-existing socio-spatial and cultural …
