Abstract
Vision and strategic objectives for sustainable development of the Apuseni mountains mining settlements
Highlights
This paper outlines a concept of sustainable and strategic development based on identified axes and directions of action for the mining settlements in the Apuseni Mountains
The authors selected eleven areas previously used in the exploitation of metal deposits, more precisely seven sites used for exploitation of gold, silver, and polymetallic deposits located in the Golden Quadrilateral (Alba and Hunedoara), two for exploitation of iron ores (Cluj county), a gold mine with uranium resources (Alba and Bihor counties), and a mine for bauxite exploitation (Bihor county) (Figure 1)
The main purpose of this research was to develop a concept of sustainable development for the settlements located in the mining areas of the Apuseni Mountains based on seven priorities
Summary
Sustainable development is defined as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Report, 1987). This concept is based on finding the balance and harmony between economic sustainability, social sustainability and environmental sustainability (Elkington, 1997), key concepts identified by Dyllick and Hockerts (Gilbert, Schipper, 2010). The concern for the balance between economic growth and social welfare has become a political and managerial challenge of over the last 150 years (Dyllick, Hockerts, 2002)
