Some Criteria For Creating GIS Based Coal Mine Information System (CMIS) in Turkey

ABSTRACT: Mine Information Systems contain both metalic and non – metalic mines. Amog fossil fuels, coal is commonlyused one in Turkey and creating a different information system for the coal will provide important contribution frommining standpoint. For creating a Coal Mine Information System (CMIS), the first step is to establish potential coalfields and process reserve data of these fields. After the classification of the fields for management, coordinate, detailreserve, company and mining license should be added as data sets. These coal areas must have other data sets whichare geological factors (primary and secondary), environmental factors, laboratory analysis results, risk of humanhealth and occupational diseases. All of these data sets help to create thematic maps and the thematic maps can beused for access and analysis by different users. For the effective usage of the systems, these data must be current atall time.
