DYNAMICS ASSESSMENT OF THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS IN MINING REGIONS
Abstract
The article presents the current situation of the largest mining regions in the EuropeanUnion, which is the Silesia region in Poland.The current legal conditions regarding the adopted ambitious climate goals in the 2030and 2050 horizon and the resulting obligations of the Member States to reducegreenhouse gas emissions will result in significant changes in the economic profile, inparticular in the Silesia region. The energy transformation is a very complex and longterm process, which includes both technological changes in heavy industry, which inturn affects the process of stimulating and developing infrastructure in the mining area.These changes, in turn, lead to the creation of new markets that respond to currentdemand in line with new social preferences. All these factors can significantly affect thelabor market and local communities, therefore the transformation process should protectboth the interests of employees leaving mining enterprises and at the same timeguarantee a transparent distribution of costs and benefits. These conditions can be metby involving all parties in the dialogue on the future of the mining industry in Polandand alternative directions of economic development.In the study, to assess the dynamics of changes taking place in the Silesia region, astatistical analysis was used based on the relationship of two variables illustrating thekey parameters of the economic development of the region, i.e. the dynamics of GDPand the dynamics of employment in the age of 15-74. The analysis was performed in theperiod covering the years 2016-2020. The research results classify the analyzed regionsand macro regions in Poland according to the four types of regions identified in thetransformation dynamics matrix.
