Abstract
The main problem of former industrial areas with history of mining exploitation is the impact of specific activities both on the environment as well as on the social and economic life of the population. In this context, we talk about the Jiu Valley, a mono-industrial area where significant environmental degradation is observed and which did not benefit from economic diversity policies. The aim of this paper is to identify possibilities for the rehabilitation of the Petrila mining perimeter and its potential use in a touristic circuit that adds value to constructions declared historical monuments, dating back to 1850, such as the central shaft and the skip, the old compressors, treatment and the mechanical workshop.
Highlights
The extraction and processing activity of useful mineral substances is one of the oldest occupations of humankind and constituted, over time, the main stimulus of human society development
The world economy and implicitly the national economies are in a constant hunger for resources, which must be satisfied either by exploiting their own deposits of useful mineral substances or by importing them [1,2,3,4,5]
In the member states of the European Community there was a noticeable decline in the extraction and processing activity of useful mineral substances [5, 6]
Summary
The extraction and processing activity of useful mineral substances is one of the oldest occupations of humankind and constituted, over time, the main stimulus of human society development. The evolution of these areas can occur in two directions: either by total or partial abandonment, either by functional or structural conversion of these sites [4,6,7,11,12] This involves the following main steps, related to: analysis of previous experiences, supplemented with information regarding the obtained results by professionals in this field; assessing the acceptability of such a reconstruction project of the affected areas by the mining activity, based on qualitative, quantitative, economic and juridical analysis according to the actual legislation; the principle of multiple uses, involving the knowledge of the interactions between the subsequent use of the affected surface by the mining exploitation, as a decisive element in the implementation of a post-industrial reuse project [13,14,15]. Worldwide, such studies have been realized in order to develop a methodology for implementing of multipleuse approximation, research that addressed issues related in particular to landscaping [1,2,5,16,17]
