Title: Mining, Power and Sustainable Development: Micro-Politics of Benefits Sharing in Ghana
Author: 
Issue Date: 2019
School/Discipline: School of Social Sciences : Geograpy, Environment and Population
Abstract: The last two decades has witnessed the adoption of sustainable development principles within the mining industry, following the publication of the industry’s minerals and mining for sustainable development (MMSD) report in 2002. It has been argued by scholars and industry actors that mining companies can contribute to sustainable development by being environmentally responsible, improving the economic and social well-being of people affected by mining projects as well as creating mechanisms for a plurality of decision-making processes throughout the entire mining life cycle. Sustainable development however, is a contested development concept with no implementation blueprint. Unsurprising therefore, the exact meaning and application of sustainable development in the mining industry has been the subject of increasing academic debate. From the burgeoning literature that explores the links between mining and sustainable development, it is difficult to ascertain what sustainable development means to different actors, and how differences in its conception influences the extent to which mining may or not contribute to sustainable development in practice at the community level. This is critical given that at the community level, unequal power relations may exist and potentially shape how mining led sustainable development costs and benefits are shared. Thus, to fully discern the link between mining and sustainable development, it is imperative to unveil first the sustainable development rationalities of various actors and then how those rationalities or agendas are ritualised in practice taking into account contextual influences such as unequal power relations. Taking the sharing of mining benefits by governments and mining companies as a point of departure, this thesis explores how mining contributes to the sustainable development of communities affected by mining projects in Ghana. It does so by focussing on how mine benefits, in the form of redistributed revenues, are accessed, controlled and used by beneficiary communities. The thesis uses a political ecology analytical approach and draws on qualitative primary research data collected from three communities affected by Newmont Mining Corporation’s project in the Birim North District of Ghana. This thesis argues from the findings that, underlying the limited contribution of mining to sustainable development of mining communities in Ghana is a crisis of mining benefits sharing. The findings of this research show that, different actors including the government, mining companies and mining communities have different conceptions and agendas of sustainable development. Furthermore, within the communities, there are different conceptions of what sustainable development is between the elites and poor or non-elites. Overall, the government defines sustainable development in terms of economic growth; the mining companies, influenced by the need to maintain a social license, consider sustainable development to be about the creation a legacy. Community elites, such as chiefs, consider sustainable development to be about community infrastructure; whereas non-elites within the community, many of whom have lost access to their own farmlands due to mining developments, see sustainable development as that which will improve their livelihoods and economic outcomes. This study reveals that, community power imbalances have ensured that the mineral revenues allocated for community driven sustainable development, are ultimately controlled by local elites. The elites, through their unfettered powers, capture both the decision-making processes and the revenues to pursue their sustainable development agendas, to the detriment of the poor and marginalised non-elites. The elites do this by deploying different strategies to counteract the structures governing the use of the revenues. This thesis contributes empirically to understanding how benefit sharing for sustainable development processes work in practice and explains why some people gain while others lose in this equation. This thesis recommends the redesign of the current benefit sharing models being used by Newmont Mining and the government. The suggested new design will provide opportunities to correct the existing power imbalances and ensure that a sustainable development that benefits the communities as whole is achieved.

Trending Data Mining Thesis Topics

            Data mining seems to be the act of analyzing large amounts of data in order to uncover business insights that can assist firms in fixing issues, reducing risks, and embracing new possibilities . This article provides a complete picture on data mining thesis topics where you can get all information regarding data mining research

How to Implement Data Mining Thesis Topics

How does data mining work?

  • A standard data mining design begins with the appropriate business statement in the questionnaire, the appropriate data is collected to tackle it, and the data is prepared for the examination.
  • What happens in the earlier stages determines how successful the later versions are.
  • Data miners should assure the data quality they utilize as input for research because bad data quality results in poor outcomes.
  • Establishing a detailed understanding of the design factors, such as the present business scenario, the project’s main business goal, and the performance objectives.
  • Identifying the data required to address the problem as well as collecting this from all sorts of sources.
  • Addressing any errors and bugs, like incomplete or duplicate data, and processing the data in a suitable format to solve the research questions.
  • Algorithms are used to find patterns from data.
  • Identifying if or how another model’s output will contribute to the achievement of a business objective.
  • In order to acquire the optimum outcome, an iterative process is frequently used to identify the best method.
  • Getting the project’s findings suitable for making decisions in real-time

  The techniques and actions listed above are repeated until the best outcomes are achieved. Our engineers and developers have extensive knowledge of the tools, techniques, and approaches used in the processes described above. We guarantee that we will provide the best research advice w.r.t to data mining thesis topics and complete your project on schedule. What are the important data mining tasks?

Data Mining Tasks 

  • Data mining finds application in many ways including description, Analysis, summarization of data, and clarifying the conceptual understanding by data description
  • And also prediction, classification, dependency analysis, segmentation, and case-based reasoning are some of the important data mining tasks
  • Regression – numerical data prediction (stock prices, temperatures, and total sales)
  • Data warehousing – business decision making and large-scale data mining
  • Classification – accurate prediction of target classes and their categorization
  • Association rule learning – market-based analytical tools that were involved in establishing variable data set relationship
  • Machine learning – statistical probability-based decision making method without complicated programming
  • Data analytics – digital data evaluation for business purposes
  • Clustering – dataset partitioning into clusters and subclasses for analyzing natural data structure and format
  • Artificial intelligence – human-based Data analytics for reasoning, solving problems, learning, and planning
  • Data preparation and cleansing – conversion of raw data into a processed form for identification and removal of errors

You can look at our website for a more in-depth look at all of these operations. We supply you with the needed data, as well as any additional data you may need for your data mining thesis topics . We supply non-plagiarized data mining thesis assistance in any fresh idea of your choice. Let us now discuss the stages in data mining that are to be included in your thesis topics

How to work on a data mining thesis topic? 

 The following are the important stages or phases in developing data mining thesis topics.

  • First of all, you need to identify the present demand and address the question
  • The next step is defining or specifying the problem
  • Collection of data is the third step
  • Alternative solutions and designs have to be analyzed in the next step
  • The proposed methodology has to be designed
  • The system is then to be implemented

Usually, our experts help in writing codes and implementing them successfully without hassles . By consistently following the above steps you can develop one of the best data mining thesis topics of recent days. Furthermore, technically it is important for you to have a better idea of all the tasks and techniques involved in data mining about which we have discussed below

  • Data visualization
  • Neural networks
  • Statistical modeling
  • Genetic algorithms and neural networks
  • Decision trees and induction
  • Discriminant analysis
  • Induction techniques
  • Association rules and data visualization
  • Bayesian networks
  • Correlation
  • Regression analysis
  • Regression analysis and regression trees

If you are looking forward to selecting the best tool for your data mining project then evaluating its consistency and efficiency stands first. For this, you need to gain enough technical data from real-time executed projects for which you can directly contact us. Since we have delivered an ample number of data mining thesis topics successfully we can help you in finding better solutions to all your research issues. What are the points to be remembered about the data mining strategy?

  • Furthermore, data mining strategies must be picked before instruments in order to prevent using strategies that do not align with the article’s true purposes.
  • The typical data mining strategy has always been to evaluate a variety of methodologies in order to select one which best fits the situation.
  • As previously said, there are some principles that may be used to choose effective strategies for data mining projects.
  • Since they are easy to handle and comprehend
  • They could indeed collaborate with definitional and parametric data
  • Tare unaffected by critical values, they could perhaps function with incomplete information
  • They could also expose various interrelationships and an absence of linear combinations
  • They could indeed handle noise in records
  • They can process huge amounts of data.
  • Decision trees, on the other hand, have significant drawbacks.
  • Many rules are frequently necessary for dependent variables or numerous regressions, and tiny changes in the data can result in very different tree architectures.

All such pros and cons of various data mining aspects are discussed on our website. We will provide you with high-quality research assistance and thesis writing assistance . You may see proof of our skill and the unique approach that we generated in the field by looking at the samples of the thesis that we produced on our website.

  • It is expected that the total amount of data in our digital cosmos will have grown from 4.4 zettabytes to 44 zettabytes.
  • We’ll also generate 1.7 gigabytes of new data for every human being on this planet each second.
  • Mining algorithms have completely transformed as technology has advanced, and thus have tools for obtaining useful insights from data.
  • Only corporations like NASA could utilize their powerful computers to examine data once upon a time because the cost of producing and processing data was simply too high.
  • Organizations are now using cloud-based data warehouses to accomplish any kinds of great activities with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning.

The Internet of Things as well as wearable electronics, for instance, has transformed devices to be connected into data-generating engines which provide limitless perspectives into people and organizations if firms can gather, store, and analyze the data quickly enough. What are the aspects to be remembered for choosing the best  data mining thesis topics?

  • An excellent thesis topic is a broad concept that has to be developed, verified, or refuted.

Master thesis topics [closed]

I am looking for a thesis to complete my master, I am interested in Predictive Analytics in marketing, HR, management or financial subject, using Data Mining Application.

I have found a very interesting subject: "Predicting customer churn using decision tree" or either "Predicting employee turnover using decision tree", I looked around very hard but unfortunately couldn't find any relevant dataset to download ( Telecommunication Customer churn Dataset ).

I would like to work on a similar subject using "Decision Tree Technique".

Please suggest some topics or project that would make for a good masters thesis subject.

  • data-mining
  • predictive-modeling
  • decision-trees

This is the approach I took:

  • Find journals related to your field of studies
  • Skim through the proceedings, see if there are titles that catch your interest
  • Read the papers (carefully or globally) that seemed interesting
  • Carefully consider the approaches and whatever future suggestions they present in their papers
  • Think critically: What would you change? What do you want to find out? Don't limit yourself to data but rather orient from the perspective of research. Solutions for data might only become apparent when you know exactly what you want to examine.

I think this has advantages because these papers outline details regarding data as well -- perhaps you can use the same.

Present some papers and your idea to your prospective supervisor and he/she will make some suggestions. Researchers generally have a lot of knowledge about the possibilities and might even be curious about some things themselves.

Good luck! And enjoy.

First, talk to your thesis advisor before committing to a project. They know better than I do.

Secondly, just analyzing a new dataset using standard techniques doesn't make for a good masters thesis. Your project is expected to use some sort of novel approach.

With that said, I'd suggest that you start by reading up on existing decision tree techniques, learning why they work and what their flaws are, and try to find ways to overcome the flaws. Then, once you have your improvement, it should be relatively easy to find a dataset to apply it to.
