Research On Influence Of Extraction Of Mineral Resources On The Development Of The National Social

Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture has been mainly depending on transitional nomadism and farming for is livelihood, but with the increase of population, the original development pattern can no longer satisfy the requirements of the current population. What’s worse, with the expansion of market-oriented economy and modernization, seeking new methods of economic development which are adaptable to the local people is becoming an important task for the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Government and the general public. The prospecting results since 1980 s have indicated that Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is abundant in underground treasure. Some private enterprises have become rich by undertaking prospecting, but because there is a lack of the Government’s effective administration, the entrepreneurs pay all their attention on maximizing their profits, totally ignoring environmental protection. The local people nearly got nothing but environment pollution because of the absence of the legal mechanism of profit sharing. The predatory and destructive exploitation of the mineral resources is counterproductive to the ecological culture that has long been formed, arising the local people’s dissatisfaction with the economic behavior of the exploitation of mineral resources. As a result, some people even strongly oppose the exploitation of mineral resources which is one of the government’s macroeconomic decisions. Entering the 21 th century, the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Government implements the environmental protection law and strengthens environmental supervision in compliance with the general public’s request. Therefore, the local people benefit a lot from the mineral resources development enterprises followed by their insisting on their legal rights. But because the interests of the government, the general public and the enterprises do not accord with one another, the conflicts are possible to reveal and deteriorate. Besides, given that Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is short of cash, technology and human resources, most of the mineral resources exploitation projects are governed by nonlocal enterprises and the jobs position are occupied by nonlocal people through investment promotion, which gives rise to the possible existence of the ethnic minority issues. Therefore, any purely financial conflicts of interests are prone to turn into ethnic issue if conflicts are intensified. Another factor that may contribute to this problem is that the nonlocal people do not share the same culture with the local people, so the contact, adaption, conflict and fusion of different cultures also can cause some troubles. Based on the research and investigation of the four fields points, relying on the first-hand information, and drawing experience of the pre-existing research achievement and relating theories, this dissertation probes into the positive and negative impact on the environment, nation, and society in the process of exploitation from multi-dimensional angles. Aiming at improving environmental protection and boosting national harmony and co-prosperity, this dissertation provides very beneficially realistic and theoretical basis for the national contact, national development, national assimilation and national fusion in the process of the exploitation of the mineral resources.Whatever economic behavior has two sides. As employers rich in mineral resources but in urgent need of development, it’s unwise for them to give up exploitation and continue to live in poverty just because of being afraid of obstacles with which they confront. What they should do is to make use of advantages to solve the problems that may lead to inharmonious national relationship caused by erogeneity of the environmental protection and interests conflicts in the process of exploitation.The dissertation is composed of six parts. The first part is the introduction, in which the author states the argument of this thesis from the perspective of research meaning, the academic research both at home and abroad, the methods of research and the creativity. The second part is the first chapter, introducing the general situation of the natural geographical environment, the general picture of humanities and society, and the mineral resources exploitation. The third part is the second chapter, which mainly discusses base of Ethnic sociology on resource development. The fourth part consists the third,the fourth,the fifth and the sixth chapters, which are focused on illustrating the external effect produced as the result of the exploitation of resources, such as local ethnic and social structure, communication, the traditional Tibetan culture, the impact of ecological and social problems in the gannan. The fifth part is the seventh chapter, mainly elaborated the harmonious social construction under the background of the mineral development. The sixth part is conclusion, summarizes the thesis research and puts forward Suggestions for gannan economic development an the exploitation of mineral resources.
