Abstract: The research on the classification and grading of the development potential of urban type abandoned coal mining areas is helpful to withdraw from the decision of the development plan of the closed mining areas or promote the evaluation of a large number of urban type abandoned coal mining areas at the level of city, county, state or other types of areas. And it can also provide theoretical support for the classified management and overall planning of abandoned coal mining areas. Therefore, based on the ecological priority and regional balance concept as well as the principle of efficient development and utilization of resources, we propose a ranking criterion for abandoned coal mining areas that can deal with multi-dimensional constraints, and establish a classification and multi-level integrated evaluation method for abandoned coal mining areas development. And Muchengjian Coal Mine in Beijing, and Western Open-Pit Coal Mine in Fushun are as the cases to analysis which corrects feasibility of the method. Because this method is supported by the basic data of abandoned coal mining area and the relevant knowledge and experience of experts. It is necessary to further improve the ecological evaluation system of mine resources in production and strengthen the construction of resource database of urban type abandoned coal mining area, to realize the classification and classification research of abandoned coal mining area in urban areas at different research scales.
