Aproximación teórica a un modelo de gestión económico-ambiental para la rehabilitación minera

Abstract

Nickel mining is one of the most important sectors of the Cuban national economy, given the level of contributions it generates to the Gross Domestic Product. This activity, by its nature, tends to be unsustainable since it devastatingly impacts the ecosystems located in the site. That is why there is an immediate need to propose a solution from the different sciences, fundamentally the economic sciences. The objective of this work is to incorporate the economic, environmental and social dimensions in the mining rehabilitation process, through the conception of a management model that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development. A documentary analysis of specialized scientific-technical bibliography is carried out, which reflects the environmental problems that affect the municipality of Moa due to the development of nickel mining. As a result, an environmental management model is proposed for mining rehabilitation that allows for the adequate use of the scenario affected by this type of activity in order to reduce the impact on ecosystems and raise the quality of life of the inhabitants.
