ReviRis Project

The goal of ReviRis is to develop a participatory evaluative toolbox to be applied in the design and implementation of strategies for the revitalization of post-mining sites and transitional landscapes. The toolbox will be addressed to decision-makers (regional and local governments, industry, and communities) and it will be highly focused on boosting the involvement and engagement of different stakeholders. The locally affected community has the closest attachment to the post-mining landscapes, and it is their best interest to be part of the decision-making process; one that considers the social, economic and biophysical implications of any closure and rehabilitation plan. Thus, the key is the active participation and the extension of the Social Licence to Operate through mine closure and site rehabilitation and guarantee that local communities play an active role in the ultimate post-mining landscape and land use.
