Stakeholder engagement processes - Phase 2: Testing the effects of benefits and governance information on social acceptance of different mining activities

[摘要] Understanding the information needs, concerns and aspirations of people affected by mining developments is an important component of early and effective community engagement. This report presents the outcomes of novel research on trust and acceptance of mining activities at the initial phase of engaging with communities about a proposed hypothetical mining development.Recent research also undertaken for the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science (Phase 1) has shown that providing information about opportunities for community engagement and governance processes is linked to more positive attitudes of a proposed mining project. This report on Phase 2 extends this knowledge by addressing two key questions. The first is to determine whether adding further information about the economic benefits of a proposed mining operation has an additional independent effect on social acceptance and its underlying factors. The second is to determine whether people respond differently to the information provided to them depending on the type of commodity being extracted.
