Abstract
Based on the two temporal remote sensing (RS) images in 1978 and 2007, land-use structural change of Natun coal mining area is studied over the past nearly thirty years based on GIS technology. The results show: The information entropy of land-use composition increases from 1.14 to 1.81, the balanced index from 0.52 to 0.82, and the dominance index decreases from 0.48 to 0.18. This explains that land-use system of Nantun coal mining area evolutes towards the relatively disordered state.
