Scientific basis of organization and modeling of mining production as a complex ecological and economic system

Abstract

A difficult situation has currently developed in the main mining regions of Ukraine which is caused by extremely heavy load on the environment from the development of mineral deposits up to the level of ecological disaster. In these conditions, it becomes especially urgent to create the new approaches to such mining developments, which should ensure both minimum environmental damage and increase in the economic efficiency of production, which is the subject of research carried out by the authors. In this work, on the basis of the methodology of integrated approach to economy and environmental factor of mining production, the scientific foundations for the organization of cost-effective development with maximum use of the economic potential of natural resources, which ensures minimum environmental damage, were developed by the authors. The conclusions on the work concentrate the conceptual foundations of such approach as well as the principles, conditions and opportunities for its implementation with the current level of equipment, technology and methods of organizing the mining production.
