COMPREHENSIVE VALUE ASSESSMENT OF SURFACES AFFECTED BY UNDERGROUND MINING
Tuzla is one of the most densely populated urban areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that has a long history of coal and salt exploration leaving nowadays abandoned mines. These mines represent an hazard to the infrastructure and the population in this area due to severe ground deformation and sink holes. Hazard identification and risk management is the central core of any organization’s strategic management. It is the process whereby organizations methodically assess the risks that threatens their activities, with the aim of achieving sustained benefit within each activity and across the portfolio of all activities. Assessment in Tuzla salt exploration case is derived based on series of geophysical and survey measurements, analyzed from the updated engineer-geological maps. Vulnerability zones were divided into 5 categories with downward evaluation of increase in hazard zones.
