摘要: Abstract Land rehabilitation constitutes an integral part of surface mining design aiming at returning the mined-out area to its former suitability accept new land uses. The effectiveness alternative plans depends on many parameters, majority which can be quantified in physical terms. One most difficult issues deal with, however, is still impact landscape during operation and improvement achieved after mine site. Towards this direction, paper presents, through illustrative example, a method for quantitative evaluation impacts landscape. This method, named LETOPID, focuses measurement two main parameters: (i) alteration topographic relief (ii) sensitivity observation conditions, both making use GIS tools. arithmetic values produced each above parameters facilitates discrimination seemingly similar plans.
