Correlation analysis between nonmetallic mines for building materials and social economy in the Tibet Autonomous Region
Based on the survey and monitoring results obtained using satellite remote sensing technology,this study investigated the nonmetallic mines for building materials under the jurisdiction of municipal administrative units in the Tibet Autonomous Region.It conducted an exploratory analysis by correlating the land damage,the restoration and control of mine environments,and the damage scales of mining areas in these mines with typical socio-economic factors like gross regional product(GRP),population,zoning area,and population density.The results show that higher GRP or population density is associated with a larger mining scale of nonmetallic mineral resources for building materials.This conclusion provides a research basis for predicting the mining scales of nonmetallic mines for building materials in certain regions in China's western provinces and achieving harmonious development between the geological environments of such mines and socio-economic construction.
