| description | This article reviews numerous published studies on geographic information system (GIS)-based assessment and mapping of mining-induced subsidence. The various types of mine subsidence maps were first classified into susceptibility, hazard, and risk maps according to the various types of the engineering geology maps. Subsequently, the mapping studies were also reclassified into several groups according to the analytic methods used in the correlation derivation or elements of the risk of interest. Data uncertainty, analytic methods and techniques, and usability of the prediction map were considered in the discussion of the limitations and future perspectives of mining subsidence zonation studies. Because GIS can process geospatial data in relation to mining subsidence, the application and feasibility of exploiting GIS-assisted geospatial predictive mapping may be expanded further. GIS-based subsidence predictive maps are helpful for both engineers and for planners responsible for the design and implementation of risk mitigation and management strategies in mining areas. |
