“…Dreze and Sen (1999) opine that economic development means the freedom to live to the fullest. It is the state when individuals are allowed to develop as per their potential and capacities (Odhiambo, 2009; Mahadea and Kaseeram, 2018; Matebesi and Marais, 2018).…”

Economic Development highlights the growth and progression of every nation towards prosperity, and South Africa is not an exception to this phenomenon. Present article reviews economic progression in South Africa for last 25 years of time by applying systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis (1,241 articles) on Scopus extracted database (1994 to 2019; until 06 June). Inferences evidence significant work contributed by top universities, authors, funding sources, journals and citation statistics. Noticeably, implementation of a concept solely will not fetch real situation; however, a systematic review extends good to excellent understanding of the considered research agenda. Findings reveal the contradictory inter-connectivity of Cluster 1 Economic Inequality and Poverty, Cluster 2 Developing Country and Corruption and Cluster 6 Economic Development and Economic Policy. It is very important to understand that if a nation is facing economic inequality, corruption, and poverty; how it can achieve the status of economically developed nation. Identification of Cluster 3 Industrialization and Industry 4.0, Cluster 4 Unemployment and Entrepreneurship Education and Cluster 5 Sustainable Development and Economic Growth signifies scope of improvement. Conclusively, the researcher has proposed a conceptual model to address above stated concerns.

“…The major stakeholders are local communities, mining companies, and the central government (McMahon and Remy, 2001). Besides negative impacts, local economic benefits, job creation, rehabilitation of the mined land, community engagement, and funding are some expectations of local communities from mining companies (Matebesi and Marais, 2018). Many countries require social cost-benefit analysis for legal permissions of proposed mines (Damigos, 2006).…”

“…These negative impacts cause conflicts over mines all over the World. Examples include conflicts between mining activities and the environmental protection in China (Li et al, 2015), conflicts between various stakeholders because of interference in the natural environment and health impacts in Poland (Gorniak-Zimroz and Pactwa, 2018), conflicts between mining companies and mining communities in South Africa (Matebesi and Marais, 2018). The major stakeholders are local communities, mining companies, and the central government (McMahon and Remy, 2001).…”

The proximity of mineral extraction sites to settlements is a conflicting issue for urban studies. This study aims at exploring the change in the proximity of mines to settlements in Turkey between the years 2012 and 2018 and determining the cities which continue to be near mineral extraction sites. For this aim, analysis tools of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used with the mineral extraction sites and urban settlements layers of the Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) land cover data of Turkey for these years. The findings of this study showed that the area of mines adjacent to settlements is increased from nearly 19905 hectares to nearly 21305 hectares and the area of mineral extraction sites within 1 and 500 meters to the nearest settlements is increased from nearly 16421 hectares to nearly 19967 hectares from 2012 to 2018.

“…8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 Similarly, there has been a sustained increase in the number of reported conflict incidents between mining companies and mining-affected communities in South Africa. 16 The literature reveals that since South African mining laws do not require the government to share mining agreements with the public, it engenders high levels of secrecy around such dealings. Consequently, the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (MPRDA), 17 encouraged the exclusion of beneficiary mining-affected communities from participation in natural resource governance decisions that directly affected them.…”
