How do nature governance rules affect compliance decisions? An experimental analysis

In an age of unprecedented decline in global biodiversity levels, the task of designing laws that effectively protect nature and biodiversity is urgent. To help address this enforcement deficit, European policymakers have sought to democratise environmental enforcement by conferring citizens and environmental nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) with legal rights of access to environmental information, public participation and access to justice in environmental matters, derived from an international treaty known as the UNECE Aarhus Convention (the so-called “Aarhus mechanisms”). However, there has been little systematic empirical research to date on the effectiveness of this new wave of private nature governance laws, and their impacts on compliance decisions. This paper seeks to address this gap. We investigate, by means of a laboratory experiment with student participants, the extent to which different nature governance rules affect individuals' decisions to comply. By nature governance rules, we mean the legal tools used to promote compliance with nature conservation rules, including traditional governance rules such as criminal penalties and civil fines, but also the new generation of private governance rules, in the form of the Aarhus mechanisms. Our findings provide new empirical experimental confirmation that traditional and private environmental governance rules together achieve more effective nature conservation outcomes than traditional governance rules alone. They also suggest, however, that private governance rules may lead to some duplication of enforcement effort by the State and citizens.

A Multi-Dictionary Approach to Abstractness/Concreteness-Based Authorship Attribution


 
 
 We present some early results from a research project aimed at exploring the usefulness of abstractness/concreteness as stylistic features for authorship attribution. We conjecture that authors use abstract/concrete words and phrases in suf- ficiently unique ways, so that machine learning classifiers can learn to distinguish the individual authors’ writing styles. Our approach is based on using the abstractness rat- ings of words and phrases from texts with established au- thorship to generate training vectors for different machine learning classifiers. The combined word/phrase ratings are extracted from two separate abstractness dictionaries – an approach that yields stronger results than using single ab- stractness dictionaries. The paper describes the details of our methodology and compares the results to those obtained using traditional authorship attribution stylistic features. The limitations of our current methodology and directions for further research are outlined at the end of the paper.
 
 

Herbal medicine use during pregnancy and childbirth: perceptions of women living in Lilongwe rural, Malawi – a qualitative study

BackgroundGlobally, use of herbal medicine during pregnancy and labour is often associated with adverse obstetric outcomes such as uterine rupture and fetal distress. However, in rural Malawi, information on the perceptions of women about the use of herbal medicine during pregnancy and labour is underreported despite the practice. Understanding women’s views and perceptions on use of herbal medicine during pregnancy and labour is therefore critical for understanding the basis of their practice and for setting up maternal and neonatal health care interventions to alleviate any possible pregnancy and labour complications.AimsTo explore the perceptions of women on the use of herbal medicine during pregnancy and labour in rural Malawi.MethodsWe employed a qualitative descriptive (QD) study on the purposively identified participants (women with parity ge 2), residing in four villages (Kagona, Champsinja, Mthupi and Manja) of Traditional Authority Malili, in Lilongwe rural district, Malawi. Qualitative data was collected through four Focus Groups of 6–8 women in each group that were conducted in each village. Data analysis was performed inductively, using reflexive thematic analysis approach.ResultsA total of 28 women of reproductive age 20 and above; 20–24 (32.14%), married (75%), average of 3 deliveries (57.14%), primary school education (75.0%), and Christians (92.86%) were recruited and interviewed. Two main themes emerged from the narratives: (1) perceived benefits of using herbal medicine: (i) hastens labour, (ii) prevents pregnancy complications and (iii) prevents and treats illnesses, and (2) perceived risks of using herbal medicine: (i) perceived maternal risks, (ii) perceived fetal risks.ConclusionIn rural Malawi, the practice of using herbal medicine during pregnancy and labour is perceived as both risky and beneficial to women. These perceptions are shaped by the exposure to either personal or other people’s experiences, hence the continued practice. Therefore, inclusion of health education topics on maternal complications due to use of herbal medicine among women can help reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates in rural Malawi. Further research is also warranted to explore accessibility and community pathway systems for herbal medicine use during pregnancy and labour among the pregnant women.

Modeling board governance, environmental expertise, and social engagement effects on firm environmental performance: Panel data evidence

Prior research establishes that board governance quality measures positively impact firm environmental performance. In this study, we propose an empirical model using structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore additional enhancements to board governance, namely board environmental expertise (BEE) and board social engagement (BSE) and show that they incrementally improve firm environmental performance (EN). Our proposed latent construct measure, BEE, goes beyond traditionally dichotomous measures used in the literature. BEE has a total effect on firm environmental performance that is over two thirds the size of effects arising from traditional governance quality measures (GOV). The second enhancement of our model is the focus on BSE, a novel construct to the CSR literature. In addition to possessing environmental knowledge enabling expertise, we demonstrate that a board with a deeper commitment to society will further improve firm environmental performance. Using SEM, we find that the indirect effects of GOV, BEE, and BSE on EN represent a substantial portion of the total effects on EN. Hence, ignoring these indirect effects would result in substantial understatement of the effects of improvements to governance on environmental performance.

American-Muslims, Abortion, and the Construction of a “Normative Communal Conservatism”

The 2022 Supreme Court decision Jackson v Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade, which provided federal protection to reproductive rights. The Dobbs decision catalyzed reactions from across the American landscape. This is especially true in different segments of American religious thought. One interesting phenomenon increasingly seen in minority religious groups is the bifurcation of intrareligious principles, whereby the religious permissibility of abortion and, to a larger extent, reproductive rights are presented in a binary fashion, facilitating internal conflict and tension within religious groups. One such example is the religious discourse ubiquitous in both the theological and legal realm in the American-Muslim community. The conservative American-Muslim position (i.e., high constraints on abortion) that claims to stem from traditional authority tends to oppose orthodox scholarly consensus, which in fact, aligns more with liberal viewpoints (i.e., low constraints on abortion). How can one make sense of this misalignment? The following paper will provide the legal and theological framework for this discussion, with an introduction to the concept of “Normative Communal Conservatism”, which seeks to explain this seemingly contradictory perspective.

A Qualitative Assessment of Community Acceptability and Its Determinants in the Implementation of Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling in Children in Quelimane City, Mozambique.

The Countrywide Mortality Surveillance for Action project aims to implement a child mortality surveillance program through strengthening vital registration event reporting (pregnancy, birth, and death) and investigating causes of death (CODs) based on verbal autopsies. In Quelimane (central Mozambique), Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling (MITS) procedures were added to fine-tune the COD approaches. Before the implementation of MITS, an evaluation of the acceptability and ethical considerations of child mortality surveillance was considered fundamental. A socio-anthropological study was conducted in Quelimane, using observations, informal conversations, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions with healthcare providers, nharrubes (traditional authorities who handle bodies before the funeral), community and religious leaders, and traditional birth attendants to understand the locally relevant potential facilitators and barriers to the acceptability of MITS. Audio materials were transcribed, systematically coded, and analyzed using NVIVO12®. The desire to know the COD, intention to discharge the elders from accusations of witchcraft, involvement of leaders in disseminating project information, and provision of transport for bodies back to the community constitute potential facilitators for the acceptability of MITS implementation. In contrast, poor community mobilization, disagreement with Islamic religious practices, and local traditional beliefs were identified as potential barriers. MITS was considered a positive innovation to determine the COD, although community members remain skeptical about the procedure due to tensions with religion and tradition. Therefore, the implementation of MITS in Quelimane should prioritize the involvement of a variety of influential community and religious leaders.

Hukum Adat dalam Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa Adat di Kabupaten Siak Provinsi Riau dan Provinsi Bali

The village as a customary law community unit has its original composition, which is the right of origin that is recognized in the framework of the 1945 Constitution. The implications of the implementation of Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages revived the spirit of the Regional Government of Siak Regency and Bali Province to carry out the arrangement of a model of governance of traditional villages that are appropriate with the origins and customs that once prevailed in the region. This study analyzes; first, the impact of the enactment of the village law on the governance of traditional villages in Siak District, Riau Province and Bali Province. Second, aspects that become similarities and differences in the administration of traditional village governance between Siak Regency, Riau Province and Bali Province. This study uses empirical normative research method. The results of the study concluded that first, the administration of traditional village governance in Siak Regency, Riau Province was not carried out, while the existence of traditional villages in Bali Province was getting stronger through government policies that gave special status and authority to traditional villages to organize traditional village governance in accordance with their origins and customs that exist in society. Second, the institutional administration of traditional villages in Siak Regency is no longer based on the original structure and no longer carries out activities according to customs and traditions in the context of Malay culture, while in Bali institutional governance of traditional villages and community activities are still based on the values of their ancestral culture, namely the philosophy of tri hita karana.

Religious Authority, Digitality, and Islam: The Stakes and Background

Abstract: The study of religious authority and its vacillating ideations is hardly a recent trend. The field has been well established by works of scholars of religious studies, history, and literature, among others. One reason for this sustained interest is that religious power structures that influence individuals, societies, and politics are formidable and, at times, indivisible. However, there has been new interest in religious authority in recent years because of its close and symbiotic relationship with digital media and their unprecedented affordances in knowledge production, distribution, and access. The disruptions of digitality have had profound effects on religion, religious authority, in particular, such as the decentralization of religious messaging, the emergence of unchurched and unmosqued discourses, the acceleration of the formation of new religions, private forums outside the reach of traditional authorities, identity construction, sectarian movements, ideological scriptural interpretation, religious contestations, and more. This essay discusses the background of religious authority, digital media, and Islam, and seeks to unpack the destabilization of traditional authority in our media-saturated age. It also speaks to disciplinary concerns and the need for multidisciplinary competencies to understand more fully religious texts in digital spaces, guided by conversations and considerations that connect online content with historical Muslim intellectual traditions, contemporary pressures and movements, and intra-Islamic ideological contestations.

Berebut Makna Lewat Dui’ Menre’: Analisis Mengenai Ideologi dalam Perkawinan Bugis

The rite of dui’ menre’ bestowal in Bugis marriage positions women as object of exchange. However, this rite generates contradictory effect. On one hand, it is perceived as burdensome because the broom parties have to give a relatively big amount of money to the bride parties. On the other hand, the Bugenese keep running the rite. Hence, the rite of dui’ menre’ is not only a ritual of giving-and-taking money, but also an ideological conduct. There is something powerful that forces people to keep doing the rite solemnly. This research lead me to conduct this research. There are two objectives of the reserach. First, it tries to find the form of ideology and fantasy which support the rite of dui’ menre’ be towal; second, it wants to expose the Bugenese sub ject position in the face of dui’ menre’ bestowal. The fieldwork was conducted in Pinrang district, South Celebes. To discuss the matter, this research utilizes Ideological Criticism and Sexuation developed by Slavoj Zizek from Lacanian concepts. Slavoj Zizek’s Ideological Crit icism is used to find out the fantasy which supports an ideology. Meanwhile, sexuation is utilized to show the impossibility of sexual relation defined by Bugenese through dui’ menre’ r ite. Dui’ menre’ is not only a language of tradition as it were in the era of traditional authority, but also a languageof economy which makes woman as an object of exchange. Dui’ menre ‘ is a challenge that must be conquered by a man to get a woman. In the contemporary era, several forces collide. Bugis feudalism, Islam, and capitalism interweave in the same issue. In the rite of ui’ menre’, woman is reduced to be object cause of desire for man. In this symbolic realm the Bugenese subjects present and take position. Generally, there are several Bugis subject positions in responding dui’ menre’, na mely psychosis, perve rse, obsess ive neurotic, and histeria.

Kutubusittah dan Kutubutis’ah


 The purpose of this research is to find out the difference between kutubusittah and kutubutis'ah. Kutubusittah is the six books of hadith which are the master books of hadith, namely Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan At-Tarmizi, Sunan An-Nasa'I and Sunan Ibn Mazah, while kutubutis'ah is the six books of hadith in kutubusittah plus Al-Muwatha' by Imam Malik, These books are a form of the rapid development of hadith science in the third century hijriyah, with the existence of the kutubusittah and kutubutis'ah, the traditions are protected from false traditions and have been separated from da'if traditions. Based on the hard work and earnestness of the scholars of hadith during this period, books of hadith were published which contained authentic traditions and were protected from false traditions known as kutubusittah (six books) and kutubutis'ah (nine books) which can still be found today. Thus the third century Hijri was a golden age for the civilization of the Islamic world.
 Keywords: Kutubusittah, Kutubutis’ah

KEKARAENGAN RUMBIA: Study of the Traditional Turatea Government System in Jeneponto

Abstract: Rumbia is one of the regions of the Turatea Kingdom in Jeneponto which has a traditional government system called kekaraengan. This research was conducted to find out how the traditional government system “ke karaengan” of Rumbia and why karaeng is no longer common in Turatea. This study uses historical methodology through four main steps of the historical method, namely: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results showed that (1) Rumbia's karaengan was formed through the concept of tumanurung which is a symbol of the life of its supporting community, (2) Rumbia has a Customary Council from a unitary of four villages called Bakuq Appaka or Pangngadakkan, (3) Rumbia's karaengan underwent changes when the Dutch succeeded in controlling the area in 1863.

Examining the impact of customary land secretariats on decentralised land governance in Ghana: Evidence from stakeholders in Northern Ghana

The complexities of customary land tenure continue to dominate academic and policy debates on sustainable land management particularly in the sub-Saharan African context. Central to the raging debate is the idea of harmonizing the disparate customary and statutory tenure systems to afford clarity, certainty and safeguard tenure security of landholders. Towards this end, proponents have endorsed Customary Land Secretariats (CLSs) as an interface between traditional authorities and statutory land agencies. Yet there is relatively limited empirical evidence on the dynamics of customary land governance in the contemporary context. Drawing on mixture of household survey (n = 115) and key-informant interviews with landowners and CLS officials (n = 6), this paper explores the role of customary land secretariats as operational vehicles for improved customary land governance in the Upper East and West regions of Ghana. The findings demonstrate that whereas CLSs’ presented a good window of opportunity for strengthening decentralized land governance in the study areas, there were important gender-based differences in the knowledge of the core functions of the CLSs as well as women’s involvement in land related discourse in the study areas. The study found no female as a landowner (Tendamba) or land overlord and few women were land users in the study areas. This is suggestive of the limited participation of women in the existing customary land governance framework in the study areas. Although CLSs are expected to work as interface between traditional authorities and statutory land agencies, the level of involvement of landowners in the activities of CLSs was very minimal, suggestive of a disconnect between the Tendambas and the CLSs. These findings have far reaching implications in terms of ongoing policy attempts at re-engineering customary land governance arrangements and to strengthen the CLSs framework to act as an interface for equitable land governance within the context of customary land management and tenure security in Ghana. As a way forward, the paper argues that context-specific strategies to gender mainstreaming and capacity building remains vital in strengthening the CLSs to deliver a ‘win-win’ equitable customary land management.

Inhibiting Factors for Collaborative Water Governance: A Case Study of Mount Merapi Ecosystem in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

The ecosystem around Mount Merapi, Indonesia, has many potential water sources. Still, poor management and a decrease in springs may lead to a water crisis in 2029 that could affect millions of residents in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study aims to identify the inhibiting factors for collaborative water governance under the threat of a water crisis. This research used qualitative descriptive research with data collected through interviews, documents, and observations. The analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification to explore Yogyakarta's water management aspects. The study suggests that collaborative water governance involving multiple stakeholders, including non-government actors, is crucial for effective water management. The local government dominates water management, while private and community groups have minimal involvement. There is a need for more specific regulations that comprehensively regulate water management and conservation efforts in the regions. Water management in Yogyakarta is classified under traditional governance due to the limited involvement of non-government actors and the minimal participation space provided by the regional government. A comprehensive regulation is needed to address water conservation, and complete collaboration among stakeholders is necessary to overcome obstacles in the water management crisis.

Papal Bull: Print, Politics, and Propaganda in Renaissance Rome by Margaret Meserve

Reviewed by: Papal Bull: Print, Politics, and Propaganda in Renaissance Rome by Margaret Meserve Christa Lundberg (bio) Papal Bull: Print, Politics, and Propaganda in Renaissance Rome By Margaret Meserve. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2021. Pp. xii + 437. Historians of the Reformation have long emphasized the seminal role of printing in spreading Luther's critique of the papacy and galvanizing support for this cause. In associating printing with reform and innovation more generally, it has been thought that traditional religious authorities were suspicious of the new technology—hesitant to adopt it and prone to censorship of it. Margaret Meserve's Papal Bull sets out to challenge this narrative by showing how printing served the papacy in the period between Gutenberg's first publication and the posting of Luther's theses. Eight substantial, thematic chapters convincingly prove this point, highlighting the diverse publications that bolstered papal authority or propagated its message. Along the way, Meserve sheds new light on the cultural and political significance of printing and publication in this period. The titular "papal bull" is one of the many genres of printing that Meserve's book explores, alongside polemical pamphlets, guidebooks for pilgrims to Rome, devotional works, and orations to popes. Still, bulls are particularly central to Meserve's case for papal involvement in printing and for considering communicative practices before and after Gutenberg. The earlier history of these letters or orders reveals how concerns about how to communicate with a wide audience significantly precedes printing (ch. 1). One strategy of publication was to post messages on prominent doors in Rome and other places—this was considered equivalent to personal delivery of the bull. A particularly revealing and recurring challenge was giving notice of excommunication. This was a message that no target audience was interested in receiving. Therefore, it required special measures of posting in surrounding areas. As Meserve shows, printing could not remove these challenges. Instead, the new technology came to play a part within wider systems of publication. The thematic chapters of Papal Bull facilitate consultation on a variety of historical topics from the Pazzi conspiracy to the cult of the Madonna of Loreto. Meserve's method of surveying all printed materials relating to such themes is moreover productive from a book historian's point of view—particularly for considering the question of why certain texts were printed. It is often difficult to explain why a particular edition was made, but patterns emerge in [End Page 606] broad, comparative perspective. In this way, Meserve distinguishes between editions made in pursuit of patronage from others catering to a popular cult and traces collaborations between the papal chancery and various Roman printers. Book historians will also gain fresh perspectives on other, more familiar themes, as Meserve traces the emergence of a "papal" title page in the first decade of the sixteenth century (ch. 8) and discusses how printing could promote greater iconographical flux rather than stability (ch. 6). Papal Bull establishes that the papacy in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries used printing with increasing frequency and for a variety of purposes. Meserve thereby extends and adds to Paolo Sachet's Publishing for the Popes (2020), which showed that the papacy pursued printing strategically in the decades after 1527. While Meserve thus contributes to challenging the view that the traditional religious authorities were hesitant to embrace printing, she nevertheless maintains that the papacy made less innovative use of printing compared to its opponents. We encounter examples of the latter throughout Papal Bull, such as the bishop of Trent who attempted to convince an unwilling Pope Sixtus IV to declare Simon of Trent a martyr in the late 1470s by launching a remarkably extensive (if ultimately unsuccessful) press campaign. Another striking use of print by papal critics is the case of two editions of faked proceedings from supposedly ongoing Church councils, one in Florence and another in Basel, produced as attempts to conjure such meetings. Meserve argues that an important reason why the papacy did not turn as eagerly to print is that it had other, more potent political tools at hand: diplomacy, legislation, and warfare. This argument reframes the problem of printing and innovation in a nonjudgmental way by...

Environmental Governance in Gold Mining: The Role of Traditional Institutions in Asutifi North District of Ghana

Mining projects in mineral-rich countries have been justified as contributing to economic growth and social well-being. There are environmental, economic, and social problems resulting from mining; therefore, the need for society to pool institutions to form environmental governance systems to manage these effects. It is within these institutions that power is prescribed, legitimated, and controlled. This study examines the roles of traditional authorities in environmental governance in mining in the Asutifi North District of Ghana. A qualitative case study design combining purposive and convenience sampling was used to select 52 respondents from traditional, state, and business institutions and 29 household respondents. The traditional institutions mostly played the role of development agents in their communities. Even though they have not been entirely successful in substituting for the state, they have complemented the state structures by holding the societies together despite daunting economic, political, and environmental challenges they faced.

“We Reach to People Through Different Means”: Factors That Influence HIV Counseling and Testing Among Religious People in Lilongwe, Malawi

A descriptive qualitative study among 12 religious leaders and 10 members from seven different religions using in-depth interviews was conducted to explore the factors that influence HIV testing among religious people in the area of Traditional Authority Chitukula, Lilongwe district. Participants and sites were purposively selected and all interviews were recorded using a digital recorder, then transcribed and translated into English. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach. The study showed that prayer has a prominent role in the management of HIV and AIDS. The barriers to HIV testing include a belief in faith healing, the rules of a specific church, and a perception of a low risk of HIV infection among religious people. Interventions that could promote HIV testing include the implementation of HIV self-testing, mobile and or door-to-door HIV services, church-based HIV testing services, and facility-based services that are integrated with other services to preserve privacy. Religious platforms can be leveraged in the delivery of HIV testing services. The promotion of religious-based prevention interventions needs to consider the foundations and beliefs of each religion and be able to contextualize the methods which can be achieved by continuous dialogue and support from religious leaders.

Untold story of the expanding armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest: linking the communal-level collaborators

This study interrogates the often de-emphasised and understudied communal-level dimension of the armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest region. Data collection was based on mixed methods and documentary evidence. The study dissects the communal dimension of the expanding armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest from three communal-level perspectives, namely (1) wholesale farmland allocation, (2) poor vigilante governance and (3) bandits’ covert alliance with some traditional authorities for intelligence and benefits sharing. It concludes that these underlying communal-linked factors are implicated in the pervasiveness of armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest region. The study recommends livestock reformation by implementing all the extant grazing reserves, forestry laws and policies.

Sites of Solitude: Situating the Wilderness of Nature in Wei-Jin Dark Learning and Emerson

For Daoism, the wilderness of nature beyond human society has often been viewed as a site for eremitic retreat in spiritual solitude, a realm where an individual can transcend the limits of social existence. While this tradition flourished in the early medieval Wei-Jin period, Daoism-inspired Dark Learning thinkers of the time also explored ways in which such a realm of solitude could be attained and enjoyed without the necessity of leaving behind the mundane world, an endeavor that has clear parallels with the function of solitude in Emerson’s Transcendentalism. This paper focuses on three sites where both Emerson and Dark Learning thinkers located such access to solitude: aesthetic appreciation of nature, metaphysical speculation, and authentic social relationships. In both Emerson and Dark Learning, the universal implications of metaphysical speculation provided a path by which the solitude and independence attainable in the wilderness of nature could be connected to individuals in social life, providing a foundation for ethics outside of traditional authority that led both Emerson and Dark Learning to face similar criticisms from more conservative contemporaries.

The Dutch Indies Colonial Government System In Onderafdeling Bonthain 1905-1942

This study aims to determine (i) the transition process from the traditional government system to the colonial government system. (ii) the colonial government administration system, (iii) the influence of the colonial government system on politics and economic activity in Onder Afdeling Bonthain 1905-1942. This study uses a qualitative approach that focuses on historical methods, through the stages of: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography to find and describe and interpret using data collection techniques through literature and archival reviews. The results of this study indicate that (i) there has been a transition from the traditional government system where the basics of implementing traditional government/kakaraengang are based on customs and royal law. Besides that, With the arrival of the Dutch Colonial, Ada' Sampulo Ruwa officially became Adatregentschapraad as a financial management institution for the local government. (ii) the administrative system developed by the colonial government was fully aimed at supporting the growing paternalistic pattern which had inspired the bureaucratic system in the empire era which was based on the 1922 decentralization law. (iii) the influence of the colonial government system on politics and economic activity in Onderafdeling Bonthain resulted in a process of structural transformation from traditional political and economic structures towards colonial and modern political and economic structures.

Study on the Restoration and Control of Yulin Landscape, Forest, Field, Lake and Grass System

Yulin city is a national high-end energy and chemical industry base. After more than 40 years of development of coal mining area, the geological disasters and ecological environment damage caused by the original coal mine goaf have become the urgent ecological environment problems that perplex the sustainable development of Yulin city. The traditional ecological governance mode of mining area, with high governance cost, large implementation resistance and poor ecological benefits, can not meet the requirements of Yulin mining area With the new requirements of ecological environment and economic development, it is urgent to explore a new model of ecological governance in mining areas. On the basis of ecological restoration in mining area, this paper puts forward the development mode of ecological restoration and multi industry integration in mining area, and analyzes it based on SWOT model, in order to provide a practical way for the sustainable development of mining area in Yulin City, so as to make sustainable use of resources and sustainable development of ecological environment.
