Black communities, gold and markets: Understanding motivations for and addressing barriers to more sustainable community-based gold mining within Colombia’s Pacific Coast

Data corresponds to demographic information, mining practices, governance structures, and relevant gold-market outlets for 423 individuals from the communities of San Juan and Yurumangui in the Colombian Pacific Coast. The data includes the results of a Choice Experiment applied to the same individuals to identify preferences for mining formalization schemes. For data collection, we trained and hired a local team of surveyors within each community. Surveys were collected using an online platform. We eliminated outliers when the time to fill out a survey was infeasibly short.本数据集涵盖哥伦比亚太平洋沿岸圣胡安（San Juan）与尤鲁曼吉（Yurumangui）社区共计423名个体的人口统计信息、采矿作业模式、治理架构以及相关黄金市场销售渠道。数据集同时包含针对上述个体开展的选择实验（Choice Experiment）结果，用于研判其对采矿正规化方案的偏好。数据采集阶段，我们在两个社区内分别培训并雇佣了当地的调查员团队，通过线上平台完成问卷收集工作。当问卷填写时长过短、不符合合理可行范围时，我们将对应样本作为异常值予以剔除。
