Abstract
Visual resources or natural landscapes are special category of natural resources which are under
extremely adverse impact on industrial development. It is specifically expressed in surface exploitation of mineral
resources, occupy large areas and have expressed visibility. Mining operations should prevent and minimize
negative visual impacts through consultation with local communities about potential post-closure land use,
incorporating visual impact assessment into the mine reclamation process.
The primary function of the visual impact assessment is to identify key views of which will be visible mining
operation; to assess the sensitivity of these critical views; to assess the impact of visibility; to modify the design of
trench in such a way to reduce potential impact to a minimum. Mitigation measures may include strategic placement
of screening materials including trees and use of appropriate plant species in the reclamation phase as well as
modification in the placement of ancillary facilities and access roads.
Key words: landscape, resource, visual impact assessment, sustainable development, open pit, mitigation, recultivation
