Goafs formed in mine-out areas threat the underground mines owing to possibilities of rock burst and surface subsidence. This paper aims to discuss the feasibility, design and construction of waste rock backfill in abandoned stopes. Based on goafs distribution and stabilities in the White Bull Mine, rock backfill system with a total volume of 362,000 m3in 8 gobs was designed and carried out. The system included technologically and economically feasible stopes, conveying equipments of tramcars, rock transfer by electric rakes, haulage network and mining workings. Field effects showed that rock backfill was applicable to control potential hazards. With rock filling, goaf utilization rates ranged from 60% to 70%, which helped to control adjacent rock movement, eliminate rock burst and surface subsidence. Additionally, backfill construction reduced the lift and transportation costs of rocks by about 50%, which further lowered the land usage of surface dumping.

Abstact This empirical study aims to investigate the dynamic response of renewable energy consumption to long-run disequilibrium and short-run impact of tourism development and agricultural land usage for the period of 1995 to 2014 in 16 Coastline Mediterranean Countries. For this reason, a dynamic Autoregressive Distributed Lag approach is employed in a multivariate and two-model framework such that carbon emission and gross domestic product are being controlled for in the models. Significantly, there is evidence of a joint impact of tourism development and agricultural land usage on renewable energy consumption. With a speed of adjustment of 21.6% from short-run disequilibrium to long run, their respective panel elasticities are 0.33 and negative 1.60 in the long run. Significant evidence shows that nine of the Coastline Mediterranean Countries have tourism development as a short-run factor while Slovenia and Cyprus exhibit a short-run common factor. Also, Granger causality evidences from carbon emission, gross domestic product and tourism development to renewable energy are all with feedbacks. However, Granger causality from agricultural land usage to renewable energy is without feedback. In the region, effective policy implementations through the collaborative effort of stakeholders will ensure a sustainable renewable energy development amidst agricultural and tourism activities.

The Czech agricultural policy after the EU accession is the set of both the EU and national measures related to the Czech agro-food sector. The paper defines possible scenarios of the agricultural policy developments in 2004–2013 and presents expected impacts of the policy scenarios on the Czech farm structure and land usage.
