EFFECTIVE MINERAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: EMERGENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC IDEAS AND CONCEPTIONS
Abstract
In the paper modern tendencies in the WorldпїЅs industrial mining sector development are overviewed, which manifest themselves in management streamlining of the sectorпїЅs economic, technological, and informational processes. Emergence and advancement of scientific-and-applied research directions, aimed at these processes systemic scrutinizing and appropriate rearrangement, are traced from the first third of the XX century, when the so-called Economics of Exhaustible Resources abstract research branch has been initiated. Decades later certain mining industries organizational pattern, associated with appropriate research direction and widely referred to in general as Mineral Resources Management (MRM), also known in Russia as Mineral Husbandry (MH), affirmed themselves. Essential features of both MRM and MH ideas are compared, whereas their timely appearance and fruitful functioning are substantiated by examples of widespread activities, aimed at effective high-tech MRM-systems designing and implementing. Theoretic-and-applied conceptions creation and methodologies development, based on Effective Mineral Resources Management (EMRM) or Rational Mineral Husbandry (RMH) ideas, as well as the roles that particular scholars and countries share in these processes, are discussed. Special attention is assigned to Poland and Russia, which perform noticeable parts in these research directions initiating and promoting. PolandпїЅs role is illustrated mostly by its innovative Gospodarka Surowcami Mineralnymi journalпїЅs launching and enduring publication, while RussiaпїЅs achievements are specified by two particular RMH-conceptions пїЅ the Universal and Institutional ones, which have been at precise moments initiated, being persistently upgraded, and eventually realize themselves in mining industriesпїЅ effective modernization.
