摘要:Coal mining reclamation is a worldwide concern. As a result of the land reclamation development for opencast coal mine in India, the restoration and reclamation monitoring in Dhanbad has been noticed. Due to high urbanization rate in Dhanbad, per capita land availability is declining. There is a need to develop wasteland to cater the urban development demand of housing, agriculture, forestry, industries, transportation, recreational area etc. This paper presents a study where the land use aspects of reclamation are considered. The goal of the study is to transform the reclamation procedures into a physical process by integrating the use of land after reclamation and developing beneficial post operations. Study also proposes prospective development approach by assessing the current state of development of the reclaimed land in Jharia, Dhanbad coalfield region and to evaluate role of stakeholders for the proposed vision. In order to achieve this goal, a pilot survey was conducted to observe existing land use, and interviewed knowledgeable people and stakeholders in the case area. The study will able to: identify problems with the current state of urban development in Dhanbad, compare and contrast the needs and wants for redevelopment of the area and determine the perspective development vision that how the land could be redeveloped to appease as many of the interest group as possible.
