历史时间序列及遥感数据的统计与空间分析都表明,在亚马孙东北部的圭亚那地盾上,黄金生产的空间分布和增长之间存在着关联。结果表明,在一个不断扩大的区域中,产量呈指数增长,这主要是对1971～1978年国际金价市场浮动的滞后反应。随后,平均虚价(实价)上升了10倍(2倍),这造成了极具吸引力的经济刺激,导致了低等级金矿的大量开采。采矿行为的地面分布及遥感分布与那些在该区域黄金地质中占优势的矿床密切相关。在保护区和可持续发展的木材生产地区内,这些含金地层的出现触发了该区域的社会矛盾,导致环境退化。有25万多km~2被划为保护区和可持续经营的热带林区处于无人管理状态,由于缺乏综合资源利用规划,没有进行恢复工作,对非法作业失去控制,受价格驱动的采金业繁荣最终会将这些地区推入危险境地。在无节制的采矿环境中充斥着严重的公共卫生问题,这进一步抵消了采金获得的财政收入。本研究部分地证明,那些曾成功地稳定了更为著名的全球经济中心的国际经济政策是如何对偏远的商品新地域造成了无意识却又深刻的环境和社会影响。
Statistical and spatial analysis of historical time series and remote sensing data suggest that there is a link between the spatial distribution and growth of gold production in the Guyana shield north-east of Amazonas. The results show an exponential increase in output in an expanding area, mainly due to the lagged response to the floating of the international gold market from 1971 to 1978. Subsequently, the average virtual price (real value) increased 10-fold (2-fold), creating an attractive economic stimulus that led to the massive exploitation of low-grade gold mines. The ground distribution and remote sensing distribution of mining behaviors are closely related to those deposits that are predominant in the gold geology of the area. The presence of these gold-bearing formations in protected areas and sustainable timber-producing areas has triggered social conflicts in the region, leading to environmental degradation. More than 250 000 km2 are designated as protected areas and tropical forest areas under sustainable management are unmanaged. Due to the lack of comprehensive resource utilization planning, no recovery work is carried out, and control of illegal operations is lost. Price-driven gold mining Industry prosperity will eventually put these areas in jeopardy. The unregulated mining environment is full of serious public health problems, further offsetting the financial gains from gold mining. This research, in part, shows how international economic policies that have succeeded in stabilizing the more famous global economic center have caused unintended but profound environmental and social impacts on new and remote areas of commodities.
