Cadastral registration of technogenic mineral formations in Russia: genesis and development issues
Abstract
The problem of placing vast quantities of accumulated waste on the Earth's surface – with the mining industry and its associated processing facilities accounting for the largest share – underscores the need to improve the information support systems for waste management. The aim of this study is to substantiate and analyze materials characterizing the cadastral registration of technogenic mineral formations (TMF) and to develop measures to improve cadastral development activities. The information base of the study consists of data from scientific databases, materials from scientific reports and analytical papers, as well as regulatory and legal sources. The theoretical and procedural basis of the study comprises the systems approach, as well as methods of structural analysis, analogy, generalization and systematization, comparison, grouping, and logical-economic analysis. The study focuses on the period from the 1920s to the present. The study demonstrates the link between the approaches to data collection for cadastral registration and the classification criteria used for TMF and technogenic deposits (TD). Based on an analysis of classifications of TMF, TD and classification of facilities having a negative impact on the environment, the fundamental classification criteria regarding waste have been substantiated. The article outlines the evolutionary changes in the content of cadaster and identifies the stages in development of cadastral registration in Russia. The article also demonstrates the need to expand the information base by taking into account the following factors: the environmental situation of the area where the TMF is located; mineral associations with sulfate-bearing ores and their oxidation; and economic indicators – specifically, the economic damage associated with the TMF. Furthermore, the paper justifies the need to establish eight information blocks within the cadasters and proposes an algorithm for their construction. The study also offers proposals for improving the cadastral registration of TMF, thereby enhancing the information support for activities related to their formation and use.
