Abstract

The case of mining land use typology post-independence planning has to be done with the consideration of ecological or landscape factors which could be the foundation for their approved post-mining closure plans. This paper reviews two such case studies on the mining activity carried out for more than 25 years. Kudremukh Iron Ore Corporation Limited (KIOCL) and Neyveli Lignite Corporation Ltd. (NLC) are the two companies in South India, led by the Central Government for the identified mineral extraction. KIOCL had to come to a complete halt in the year 2005 whereas NLC is an ongoing mining site. This review paper studies the environment planning approaches at global, national, and state levels in both cases. The paper tries to identify the gap in the planning approach considering landscape factors that can be imperative for achieving sustainable development goals from the critical review of case studies in India.
