Abstract

In line with the European Green Deal, Greece plans to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. In this context, the country aims to cease all lignite mines by 2028 and transition away from coal. Effective strategic planning is crucial for mine closure, considering technical, environmental, and social factors. Cellular automata models, known for their adaptability to dynamic environments, are widely used for land use simulation. This research focuses on the surface mining area of Ptolemais in Western Macedonia, Greece, using a cellular automata model to predict new land uses in two scenarios: industrial and agricultural development. The interpretation of the results proved that the applied model could be a helpful tool for the planning and analysis of new land uses considering the spatiotemporal aspect of each scenario.
Keywords: mine closure; cellular automata; strategic planning; simulation model; spatiotemporal; land use change mine closure; cellular automata; strategic planning; simulation model; spatiotemporal; land use change
