旅游开发是关闭煤矿经济转型的重要渠道之一，煤炭资源型城市矿山遗址旅游开发的适宜性与开发模式取决于其所具有的旅游开发潜力，测度矿山遗址旅游开发潜力、识别开发类型已成为旅游开发领域亟待研究的课题。本文从矿山旅游资源、矿山开发条件、城市开发环境 3 个维度着手，构建了矿山遗址旅游开发潜力测度模型，完成了我国煤炭资源型城市矿山遗址的旅游开发潜力实证研究。结果表明：煤炭资源型城市矿山遗址的旅游开发潜力存在明显的差异性，综合潜力排名前十位的城市为：徐州、邯郸、枣庄、邢台、焦作、张家口、大同、淮南、平顶山、抚顺；开发潜力空间格局呈现“两核、三中心”集聚特征。为此建议，煤炭资源型城市应根据资源价值、开发潜力及其空间格局的不同，选择相应的开发模式；适时编制矿山遗址旅游开发规划，探索构建“政府主导、多方合作”的矿山遗址旅游开发新机制，支持矿山遗址向旅游功能的转型升级。

Tourism development is one of the important channels to realize the economic transformation of closed coal mines. The suitability and modes of tourism development at mining sites of coal resource-based cities are determined by their tourism development potentials. How to measure the tourism development potentials of mine sites and identify their development types has become an urgent research topic in the field of tourism development. In this study, we established a model to measure the tourism development potentials of mine sites from three aspects: mine tourism resources, mine development conditions, and urban development environment; we also completed the empirical research on the tourism development potentials of mine sites in China’s coal resourcebased cities. The results show that mine sites in coal resource-based cities have distinctive tourism development potentials and the top ten cities with the most comprehensive potentials are: Xuzhou, Handan, Zaozhuang, Xingtai, Jiaozuo, Zhangjiakou, Datong, Huainan, Pingdingshan, and Fushun. The spatial pattern of development potentials presents the clustering feature as “two core regions and three centers.” Therefore, the coal resource-based cities should choose their development modes according to their different resource values, development potentials, and spatial patterns. Tourism development plans of mine sites shall be timely formulated and a new mechanism that is guided by government and cooperated by multiple parties should be established for the mine site tourism development, thus to develop the tourism functions of mine sites.
