It is a known fact that green cover in India is decreasing. The purpose of the present work was an attempt to predict the LUP (łand-use pattern) change behaviour in spite of all efforts of the country to green the mining-degraded lands and to identify the factors responsibłe for the non-ideal behaviour observed. The relative impacts of the various factors on LUP change were also calculated. Data were collected from different coal mining areas of India and were analysed to assess the respective change in LUP experienced by different mining areas. Analysis of the real field data revealed that open cast and underground coal mining impact differently into LUP. A system of linear equations representing the LUP change was derived and solved using the Gaussian elimination. Based upon this output some recommendations have been made that in all the coal mining areas of the country an equivalent amount of land in addition to the land directly degraded by mining should be attempted to green so that in the long run the region will face no further decrease in green cover, the main component of environment.

Wiadomo, że obszary zielone w Indiach ciągle się kurczą. Celem tego artykułu jest przewidzenie, jak zmieni się sposób wykorzystania ziemi (SWZ) niezależnie od wysiłków, aby zrekultywować obszary zdegradowane przez górnictwo, oraz określenie czynników odpowiedzialnych za ten daleki od ideału stan rzeczy. Oszacowano też wpływ różnych czynników na zmianę w SWZ. Dane pochodzą z różnych obszarów wydobycia węgla. Pozwoliły one oszacować zmianę w SWZ na różnych obszarach górniczych. Analiza danych terenowych dowiodła, że górnictwo odkrywkowe i podziemne mają różny wpływ na SWZ. Korzystając z eliminacji Gaussa, wyprowadzono i rozwiązano układ liniowych równań opisujących zmianę w SWZ. Na ich podstawie zalecono, aby na wszystkich obszarach Indii, które zostały zdegradowane wskutek działalności górniczej, równoważna powierzchnia została zalesiona, tak aby w przyszłości w danym regionie nie zmniejszyła się powierzchnia obszarów zielonych.
