Abstract: The coal mine area in eastern China is one of the typical areas in resource utilization, which is characterized by high groundwater level. In this area, the land reclamation is difficult to implement and maintain effectively due to the combination relationships among coal and grain, coal and water, coal and village. The study on the spatial-temporal evolution law of Landscape in the high water level coal mine area can provide an important scientific basis for making effective land reclamation strategy. This study selected the Peibei mining area as a case study, which locate in Xuzhou city, Jiangsu Province. In this study, based on the data of Landsat TM image in 1995 , Landsat ETM+ images in 2005 and Landsat8 OLI images in 2015, land use transfer trajectory and landscape pattern index were used to analyze the characteristics of landscape pattern changes and CA-Markov model was used to forecast the land use landscape pattern in 2025.The results showed that: (1) The trend of landscape change was obvious: During 1995 to 2015，the cultivated land is the main source of land transfer，which is mainly converted to the building land, water and wetlands. In addition, collapse water area mainly comes from the building land and cultivated land, and the contribution ratios were 47.68% and 19.20% respectively. (2) The simulation results of CA-Markov model show that from 2015 to 2025, the area of cultivated land, water and wetland decreased, on the contrary, the area of construction land and collapse water area increased significantly. (3) The results of landscape pattern index analysis show that: On the patch type level, farmland, water and wetlands. are dominant types in the study area, however the degree of fragmentation of cultivated land, collapse water area, water and wetland is higher. On the landscape level, the overall shape of the landscape pattern tends to be simple. The results above show that the changes of land use landscape in the study area are caused by the acceleration of regional urbanization and the increase of surface subsidence caused by mining activities. It is suggested that the prevention and control scheme of the expected subsidence area and the planning management scheme of collapsed area should be prepared in advance.
