Satellite imagery-based analysis of soil and vegetation cover change as a result of mining

Coal is one of the most mining commodities to date, especially to supply both national and international energy needs. Coal mining activities that are not well managed will have an impact on the occurrence of environmental damage. This research tried to utilize the multitemporal Landsat data to analyze the land use land cover change caused by coal mining activity. The research took place at Berezovesky coal mine site in Kemerovo region (Kuzbass), in Russia. The method developed in this research is the method of change detection with Supervised classification technique/ Maximum likelihood classifier. The results showed that coal mine area along with the damage that occurred in it can be detected from multi-temporal Landsat data using Maximum likelihood supervised classification technique and change detection method. Also, The study reveals decrement in LU/LC categories of vegetation to 147.61km² and agriculture to 542.84km². However increment in the rate of mining area to 39.66km², urban area cover to 78.66 km², and road to 40.18 km² during the study period (1993 to 2019). The results of this study are expected to be used to support government efforts and mining managers in post-mining land reclamation activities.
