Abstract

Geographic information systems (GIS) have been increasingly used in augmenting studies of mining and post-mining areas such as surface deformation analyses, risk assessment associated with old mining sites, identification of old mining sites and other. Up-to-date and complete geodatabase is an indispensable element of any geoinformation system facilitating such geospatial analyses. In this paper the process of verification and integration of Walbrzych Hard Coal Mines geodatabase and project of enhancing the Deformation Information System for these mines with web map application of underground workings and query tools developed with free and open source software (FOSS) have been described. The interactive map allows users to interact and obtain precise information on location and characteristics of underground mining and the query tools streamline pre-processing operations necessary for geospatial analyses.
