| Date Issued | June 2020 |
| Abstract | This social development research explores the link between technological transition and sustainable development. It attempts to describe how the mining technological innovation transition occurs/happens in communities and how people respond to it. In light of supporting the people’s journey towards getting back their wisdom through technology innovation, this study sought to explore and investigate the technology transition process. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: 1. What is the process of technology transition in small-scale mineral processing brought about by the CLINN-GEM technology? 2. What are the changes and impacts of technology transition to small-scale mining? What factors contribute to these changes? 3. What lessons, theoretical constructs, and policy recommendations may be generated from the experience of technology transition in mining communities toward sustainable development? Epistemologically, the methodology of this study is drawn from the critical social science paradigm. The study is exploratory and descriptive. The researcher employs a single case study approach and adopts qualitative methods in data gathering and analysis. Data gathering methods include documents review, guided tour, and key informant interviews with seven informants, focus group discussions with the operations group and the members of the project staff, and a structured learning exercise with community leaders. |
