Land use/cover change (LUCC) research is an important research area of global environment change, but the research on
the coal mining area is little. Taking the typical mining city -Jiaozuo City in Henan Province as a case with
multi-temporal remote sensing images as major data resources and combining social and economic statistic data, the
change of land use of Jiaozuo City in recently ten years was systematically studied, and then the ecological
environmental effect caused by land use change was analyzed based on the theories of ecological services value. The
research result shows that the condition in mining city was deteriorating and measures shall be taken to improve
ecological environment. The studied result can provide scientific basis for ecosystem construction and strategic decisions
for sustainable development of mining city.
During the last few years, the value of ecosystem services, the possibilities and rationalities of evaluating these services
have attracted interests of many ecologists and economists. However, the dynamic change of ecosystem services is less
studied. In this paper, the dynamic simulation method (i.e., CA-Markov) is used to simulate the change of ecosystem
services value in research area. The main objective of this study is to give comprehensive and reasonable assessment of
the ecosystem services value change in the research area which would provide scientific basis for environment,
ecosystem construction and strategic decisions. Based on the remote sensing dada of year 1992 and 2003, the landscape
information of research area is obtained, and the transfer matrix among various landscapes is calculated during the
period, then the data of landscape of research area in year 2015 is predicted using the model of CA-Markov. Then the
change of ecosystem services value is calculated based on the value coefficient of various landscapes. The research
demonstrates that the CA-Markov is a good tool for simulating the change of ecosystem services value. The studied
result can provide scientific basis for ecosystem construction and strategic decisions.
Coal mining has brought a plenty of benefit and matter for human kind, and greatly improved the development of economy and society. At the same time, however, it has also lead to the environment damage, which has affected the regional sustainable development. In this paper, we take the Luxi Coal Mine, Shandong Province as an example, based on the GIS, to study the effect on the sustainable development due to coal mining with the theory of ecological footprint. The research result show that coal mining inevitably affects the ecological footprint of coal mining area. In order to minimize the ecological deficit, measures shall be taken during coal mining period to reduce the environment damage by coal mining, adopting new reclamation method to protect the ecological producing land and avoiding cultivated land degraded.
