Opis

Mining geological heritage is a valuable resource for developing mining communities. This is the importance of the present work, which focuses its analysis on the involvement of community communication processes with this historical and cultural heritage, which must be protected and preserved for present and future generations. As such, the need to look after this heritage is undeniable at the present time. Promoting its identification, protection, conservation and interpretation is an alternative to development and an economic solution to a possible mine closure. In the case of the mining town of Moa, in the far east of Cuba, a large part of the geological mining heritage of the Caribbean island is concentrated, which is extensive due to its industrial history, based on chrome and nickel mining. This is why this study analyses the relevance of a "Mining geological heritage communication strategy (ECPGYM)", as a social technology that demonstrates the availability of a communication system in the mining community of Moa, as a necessity for the development of responsible mining.
