Social, Environmental and Economic Sustainability in the Context of Melanesian Mining Projects.

这是美拉尼西亚人在采矿项目背景下对社会经济和环境可持续性的理解的跨学科研究。它需要对传统生态知识进行研究，并评估当地的理解和期望如何损害基于西方科学原则的项目。它将审查当地关于土地使用和粮食安全的想法，以及决定对采矿项目影响作出反应的社会和文化因素。该项目将涉及跨学科的合作研究，将社会和文化分析以及环境和农业研究结合起来。它将有助于目前关于环境保护主义、采矿影响和可持续发展的辩论。

This is an interdisciplinary study of Melanesian understandings of socio-economic and environmental sustainability in the context of mining projects. It entails research into traditional ecological knowledge and assessment of ways that local understandings and expectations compromise programs based on Western scientific principles. It will examine local ideas about land use and food security, and the social and cultural factors that determine responses to impacts of mining projects. The project will involve collaborative, interdisciplinary research, integrating social and cultural analysis and environmental and agrarian studies. It will contribute to current debates on environmentalism, mining impact and sustainable development.
