Abstract

India's mining heritage sites (MHSs) represent underdeveloped tourist avenues for culture conservation and community upliftment. This study undertakes a dual-site comparison depending on a mixed-methods approach combining perception surveys of visitors, satellite image analysis, and statistical techniques involving t-tests, chi-square analysis, and hierarchical clustering, for Dhori Mines (Jharkhand) and Barr Conglomerate (Rajasthan). Results starkly reveal contrasts: while Barr confirms ecological recovery and community integration, Dhori suffers due to infrastructure and interpretive constraints. Other strategies include AI-powered heritage interpretation and visitor segmentation to improve site competitiveness. It emerges from the findings that data-oriented landscape and tourism planning coupled with local participation can sustain and promote post-mining landscapes effectively.
