Mining voids and just transition: reimagining post-mining landscapes

该项目旨在解决如何处理煤炭开采的长期遗留问题的复杂问题。通过民族志和艺术方法的结合，该项目将深入了解新南威尔士州猎人谷的当地社区如何经历环境干扰和采矿遗产的社会文化影响，特别是在存在最终空隙的地方。它将产生新的知识，使之成为重新构想采矿后景观的潜力，以及这些景观如何能够支持公正地过渡到采矿后的未来。预期的好处包括促进围绕采矿遗产的公共讨论，研究能力建设和理论发展，以支持多方利益攸关方的参与和对话。

This project aims to address the complex problem of how to deal with the long-term legacies of coal mining. Through a combination of ethnographic and Arts-Based Methods, the project will advance insight into how local communities in the Hunter Valley, NSW, experience socio-cultural impacts of environmental disturbance and mining legacies, particularly where final voids are present. It will generate new knowledge into potentials for reimagining post-mining landscapes and how such landscapes can support a just transition towards a post-mining future. Expected benefits include advancement of public discourses around mining legacies, research capacity building and theory development to support multi-stakeholder engagement and dialogue.
