Professional visit to Tara Mine, Navan, Ireland
The MINIPART project team paid a study visit to the Tara zinc mine in Navan, Republic of Ireland, the largest zinc mine in Europe and one of the largest in the world. At the mine’s headquarters, the team was hosted by Mr. Paschal Walsh – Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager, along with his colleagues Michelle Geraghty and Damien Lynch. Through a presentation and discussions, the hosts introduced the mine’s operational model, their current practice of collaboration with the local community and other stakeholders, as well as the compensation modalities they have implemented. The dynamic discussion further contributed to the understanding of the differing contexts of mine development and mining activities in Ireland and Serbia, as well as their place within the urban and spatial planning systems.

The MINIPART project team paid a study visit to the School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy at the University College Dublin (UCD). The invitation for the professional visit and lecture came from Prof. Dr. Ana Perić Momčilović – the external collaborator in the MINIPART team, and her colleagues Prof. Dr. Paula Russell and Prof. Dr. Brendan Williams. On this occasion, the members of the MINIPART team exchanged experiences with colleagues on the topic of public participation in Serbia and Ireland. A discussion with other colleagues and students followed after the team delivered lectures on the topic “Improving Participation in the Spatial Planning of Mining Areas”, during which they presented the MINIPART project and some preliminary results.
The presentation “Improving Participation in Spatial Planning of Mining Areas” is accessible at the MINIPART project website, under the “Open Science” section.

The MINIPART project team has started training surveyors
The training of surveyors was held at the premises of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Planning of Serbia. Dr. Milena Toković (Faculty of Geography, University of Belgrade) and MA Dušanka Milosavljević (Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory) conveyed theoretical and practical knowledge to the young survey team, which the surveyors will apply in fieldwork with the residents of the City of Bor and the Municipality of Majdanpek during this summer. The survey aims to assess the level of citizen engagement in this mining region in urban and spatial planning, as well as to gain insight into their views on the most appropriate methods of participation in decision- making.
Prof. Dr. Milovan Vuković (Technical Faculty in Bor, University of Belgrade) introduced a smaller part of the survey team in Bor to the basics of the task, the details followed via the Zoom application. The research results will serve as input data for the upcoming phases of the project and as the basis for an academic article.
