Abstract
 Developing Land Use Maps for Remediation Abandoned Coal Mines Track: Mining and Geosciences Author(s): Marisa Mei Ling, Tetsuro ESAKI, Yasuhiro MITANI, Hiro IKEMI Facing the problem of the environment impacts on the land due to abandoned coal mines, it is necessity to recognize the history of regional development and to find suitable methods to remediate that region. One of the methods for obtaining descriptions of land use transition that leads to the abandonment is the analysis of changing patterns from a series of land use maps of the last 100 years. In this paper, land use maps series based on 1:50.000 topographical maps have been developed by applying GIS technology. A mesh-based polygon of 100m x 100m (one hectare) is used as a zone area to extract the land use values over years. In order to perform land use maps, a GIS model builder was set up to handle repetition process and time-consuming task. As a result, land use maps can be developed effectively by implementing new GIS techniques to provide the analysis of land-use transition patterns.
