. INTRODUCTION
Coal mining and utilization results in huge economic and
social benefits but also brings a series of damaging effects on
mining ecological environment
[1]
.
With the development of coal production, mining scale has
been expanded, and the number of underground mined area is
increasing, the ground subsidence damage is growing
[2]
.In
order to minimize the negative impact caused by subsidence
mining, it must study the law and control technology, carrying
out prediction and assessment of mining land potential
damage under the mining plan in the former mining can
evaluate comprehensively the feasibility and rationality of
mining plan. The ground monitoring in the mining process
assesses the scope and extent of damage in order to adjust the
mining plan at any time and take timely control measures to
reduce and avoid unnecessary damage. After the mining,
timely evaluating mining land suitability provides technical
support for science reclamation of mining land.
There is no comprehensive study of process impact of the
surface and the overall solution process, not have achieved
prediction and pre-assessment of surface damage and
governance in the mining process as well as the plan to land
resettlement and reclamation in the past law of mining
subsidence and control technology. So it cant meet the
modern laws and regulations on the mining management
requirements.
It is important that studying subsidence disaster prediction,
pre-control and developing the mining subsidence disaster
management information system based on integration of coal
and land to meet the modern enterprise management and the
modern mining technology needs.

A. GIS technology
GIS (geographical information system, GIS) is both the
application engineering
technology of managing and analyzing spatial data and the
application basic science that is across the Earth science,
Information science and Space science. The technical system
consists of computer hardware, software and related methods
process, to support spatial data collection, management,
processing, analysis, modeling and display, for solving the
complex planning and management issues.
The objects of GIS process, management are multiplex
geospatial entity data and their relationships, including spatial
orientation data, graphical data, remote sensing image data,
attribute data, etc. They are used to analyze and process
various phenomena and processes distributed in a certain
geographic area, to solve the complex planning,
decision-making and management problems.
The important aspect that GIS is different from ordinary
information system is achieving geometric data and attribute
data integrated management, as well as can provide powerful
spatial analysis features such as overlay analysis, buffer
analysis, etc. However, GIS provides software support for
building damage prediction, land information management,
land suitability assessment involved in The Mining
Subsidence Disaster Management Information System.
1) Buffer analysis
Buffer analysis also known as affected zone refers to the
certain width region around the geographic elements. Buffer
analysis is a class of important spatial operations that is used
to determine spatial proximity and the proximity of different
geographical elements. Generate a buffer around the
geographical elements to run the buffer analysis when
considering the influence range of geographical factors and
their vicinity activities. For mining subsidence area, it
often needs to carry out buffer analysis according to the
hazard levels of surface structure, to divide the middle region
(neutral region), the edge of region (compression region), the
outer edge of region (stretching region) in the mining
subsidence mobile basin, to provide technical support for later
development of mines.
2) Overlay analysis
Overlay analysis is the process that makes use of
overlapping two or more than two layers in the same area to
execute the operations and attributes operations (relational
operations)[3] . In the study of mining subsidence, we can
overlap surface-underground coal miners contrast
plan(overlap coal seams plan for excavation and geologic
relief map ) ,three-dimensional map of mining subsidence
superimposes on the layout of mining industry, for overall
analyzing the mining to determine the impact of surface
subsidence on the mining production and living facilities. In
land suitability assessment, sum of indexes actually is an
overlay analysis in the process of GIS database operation.
B. Subsidence prediction theory
It is very important to determine the appropriate settlement
method to establish mining subsidence disaster management
system. For geological and mining conditions are usually
complex and changeable, system uses the more mature, most
widely used prediction method----the estimated parameters of
probability integration method.
The basic principle is: rock as a research subject of mining
subsidence can be simulated by two complete different media
models: One is the continuum model. Continuum model is
that: during the movement, the media always maintains its
continuity, the link between the media relations unit remains
2496


unchanged; non-continuum model is that: during the
movement, the media continuity is destructed, the link
between the media relations unit changes, cells separate and
relatively move to each other. There are fracture surfaces
caused by mining and other non-continuous surfaces in the
rock, therefore, the non-continuum model to solve the
problem of mining subsidence is appropriate[4]. The
mathematical model with probability integration method can
calculate the series of mining subsidence coefficients, such as
subsidence coefficients, tilt coefficients, curvature coefficients,
horizontal displacement coefficients, horizontal deformation
coefficients, distortion coefficients, shear deformation
coefficients, etc. The mathematical model of subsidence
deformation coefficient as an example as following

C. Land suitability assessment
The task of land suitability assessment is to determine the
direction of optimal use of according to land suitability, and to
provide services for rationally using of and scientifically
planning and managing land. Establish the basis to determine
the direction to usability of destroyed land through evaluating
the land suitability of used- planning mine; the construction of
evaluation system provides the basis for recovering mining
lands ecological environment. More mature and commonly
used algorithm is sum of indexes, but when a rating factor
meets strong restriction, the suitability of the determined
application of evaluation unit will be affected, therefore, it
also needs to assess with extreme conditions.
. Conclusions
This design is based on GIS for the functional framework
of mining subsidence disaster management information
system, and it researches the system main technology basis.
The successful development system indicates that the mining
subsidence disaster management information system based on
GIS has obvious advantages; it can achieve the linkage of
mining information. Prior to and during the implementation in
the mining plan, we can predict the surface damage, possible
housing damage caused by mining according to mining plan,
fatherly draft land resettlement plans, to achieve pre-control of
subsidence disaster; evaluating the suitability of land provides
technical support for mining land reclamation in the
subsidence disaster areas.
