205 continuity—closure and remediation are part of the same process; (ii) Advance planning—postmining management is designed before final closure; (iii) Regulatory integration—a single regime for active, inactive, and abandoned mining sites, (iv) Social centrality—binding participation and territorial justice, and (v) Public function of the post-mining territory— ecosystem, social, and climate value. 5.2. Proposal for regulatory integration – Creation of the legal category of “Post-Mining Territory”: It is urgent to incorporate into both the LCM and the LPAM, and their respective regulations, a common definition that recognizes post-mining territory as a socio-ecological space subject to specific planning, management, and governance after the cessation or abandonment of mining activities. – Single instrument for the management of post-mining territories: It is proposed to create a “Comprehensive Post-Mining Transition Plan” as a single instrument, applicable to both units in closure and historical liabilities. This instrument should include a long-term territorial vision, the definition of compatible post-mining uses, binding social participation, and coordination with regional and climate planning. – Creation of an intersectoral mechanism to enable institutional coordination: Initially between the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the Ministry of the Environment, regional and local governments, surrounding communities, and companies involved (if any); a mechanism that allows for post-mining governance from the formulation of mining projects, the evaluation and modification of closure plans, and the identification and characterization of identified environmental liabilities, to establish the best post-mining transition applicable to each case and to adequately structure territorial decision-making. 6. CONCLUSIONS – Regulatory frameworks governing mine closure, future land use, long-term responsibility allocation, and post-closure social integration continue to have regulatory gaps. – This absence of clear and binding legal criteria for defining the uses of post-mining territories generates uncertainty and conflicts and limits economic and ecological reconversion processes. – International cases analyzed (Zollverein and Las Médulas) show that it is possible to move toward more effective models when territorial planning instruments are in place, integrating environmental protection, cultural value, and social participation. – Therefore, the regulation and governance of post-mining land use is a tool for environmental justice, land use planning, and shared responsibility capable of transforming degraded landscapes into territories adapted to current realities and oriented toward sustainable development.
