采煤沉陷区治理利用是煤矿区生态文明建设和解决土地资源紧张的重要措施，笔者在介绍采煤沉陷区治理研究新进展、工程实践与政策法规现状的基础上，对目前存在的法律体系不完善、组织机构不健全、治理资金难落实、有效治理技术缺乏等一系列突出问题进行了较为深入的剖析。针对上述问题，从政府主导、综合治理、规划引领、理清责任、制度保证等方面总结分析了采煤沉陷区治理中应遵循的基本原则，重点提出了城市周边采煤沉陷区、积水采煤沉陷区、远离城市采煤沉陷区、西部干旱半干旱采煤沉陷区治理以及煤炭低损害开采、资源枯竭矿山地上地下空间转型利用开发的关键技术与预期成果，同时，详细论述了健全完善采煤沉陷区治理相关政策。最后对国内采煤沉陷区治理方面取得的成果予以总结和肯定，并展望了采煤沉陷区治理领域的发展方向和研究重点，为推动采煤沉陷区治理利用及其相关领域科学研究提供了思路。

The control and utilization of the coal mining subsidence area would be important measures to build the ecological civilization of the mine area and to solve the tension of the land resources. Based on an introduction on a new progress of the control study on the coal mining subsidence area, the engineering practices and the policy and regulation status, a detail analysis was conducted on the present existed imperfect legal system, the unsound organization structure, difficulty implemented control funds, lack of the effective control technology and other series of the prominent problems. According to the above problems, from the government main leading,the comprehensive control the planning leadership, the responsibility clearing up, the system insurance and other aspects, the paper summarized and analyzed the basic principles abided in the control of the coal mining subsidence areas and focused and provided the control of the coal mining subsidence area around the city, the coal mining subsidence area with water pool, the coal mining subsidence area far distance from the city and the coal mining subsidence area in the arid and semi-arid area of Western China as well as the key technology and expected achievements of the low damage coal mining and the utilization and development of the surface and underground space transformation in the resource exhausted mine. Meanwhile,the paper had a detail statement on the related policies of the perfect and improved coal mining subsidence area control. Finally, the summarization and definition were made on the achievements from the control aspects of the coal mining subsidence areas in China. The paper had a prospect on the development orientation and study key points to control the coal mining subsidence area in order to provide the idea to promote the control and utilization of the coal mining subsidence area and to scientifically study on related area.
