Abstract: The land destruction prediction has great significance for land reclamation in coal mining area.It is critical to select the prediction methods for ensuring the accuracy and objectivity of land reclamation feasibility analysis，thus affecting the decision-making in land reclamation.Taking Fukangyuan Coal Mine in Shanxi Province and Guojiadi Coal Mine in Guizhou Province，for example，both the probability integration method and the maximum height of water flowing fractured zone for land destruction prediction are investigated and their applicability and advantages and disadvantages are anal yzed.The results show that the probability integration method owns a complete system，and is suitable for the sub-mountainous areas such as Yunnan and Guizhou in the south of China.The study provides a better scientific basis and decision-making reference for improving the land destruction prediction in coal mine area of China.

Key words: Coal mining area, Land reclamation, Land destruction prediction, Probability integration method, Maximum height of water flowing fractured zone
