Abstract: This article researches the current condition and problems of ecological security in coal mine areas. It adopts the pressure, status and response (P-S-R) model as its framework, establishes a coal mining area ecological security evaluative index system, which is divided into three layers: the target layer is ecological security status, the principle layer is the pressure, status and response of ecological security, the solution layer contains the corresponding measuring indices (altogether 27). It then adopts analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluative method to establish an evaluative index model of coal mining area ecological security. It first calculates the weights of various factors in the model by AHP and then concludes the model evaluation by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. This article uses a coal mine of a Zhengzhou Coal Mining Group as the object of analysis, conducts questionnaire and interview, and then applies the model established by this article to evaluate its ecological security, which results in a V3 level (ordinary level) in its ecological security.

Keywords: analytic hierarchy process; AHP; fuzzy comprehensive evaluation; FCE; ecological security; coal mining area.
