Abstract
The study investigated root causes of problems and conflicts among three main stakeholders around mining in the Mongolia Gobi: herders, mining company(s) and local government. It developed and tested an information system, “My Homeland” that would facilitate communication, collaboration and grievance management. The “My Homeland” system showed that content types such as scientific, traditional, or regulatory can be systematized in relation to mining and the environment, and can assist in mitigation of conflicts from land use, and environmental, and social problems caused by mining.
