| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Economic growth by human activity associates with rapid rise in the use of resources in our economy, and society has potential environmental impact. The study provides insight into the linkages between local consumption and global impacts, and linkages between local consumption and natural resource extraction (iron, copper, nickel etc.) far removed from the place of consumption was demonstrated. This study also introduces the challenge to identify the land use changes in nickel mining site by remote-sensing technique. The qualitative information of mine development/operation must be available in order to understand why the change occurs. We revealed the fundamental importance of metal recycling to avoid dissipations of resources. Avoiding the losses in its anthropogenic cycle and closing the loop for its material cycle would be expected to reduce the consumption of natural resources and contribute to the reduction of negative impacts on the land-use change.
