Mining in urban areas: methodological proposal for the identification and mediation of socio-environmental conflicts

Mineração em áreas urbanas: proposta metodológica para identificação e mediação de conflitos socioambientais

Abstracts

The conflicts generated by mining in urban areas are due to several reasons. In this paper we sought to identify the social actors and the dynamics of conflicts in the northwestern region of the São Paulo Municipality. This area presents aspects of environmental preservation, quarry activities, and dense urbanization. To minimize/solve these conflicts, strategies are proposed based on Social Learning methodologies.
