Abstract

Summary

This study analyzes geomorphological hazards in the Stebnyk mining area, where ground deformation and sinkhole formation continue despite the closure of mining operations. A spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis was used to assess subsidence risk by integrating key factors such as elevation change, geology, slope, sinkhole proximity, road networks, and surface water accumulation. The Analytic Hierarchy Process was applied to assign weights to each criterion, and a weighted raster overlay produced a susceptibility map. Results show that areas near sinkholes and roads, with higher slopes and shallow groundwater, are most at risk. The final map highlights zones of high hazard potential, offering a valuable tool for land-use planning, monitoring, and risk mitigation in post-mining landscapes.
