Coal mines are complex working environments that require comprehensive planning and readiness to effectively respond to emergencies, such as fires, explosions, floods, and other hazards that pose risks to the health and safety of miners. The study's principal findings reveal that incorporating GIS into the planning and coordination of defense and rescue operations in coal mines can substantially enhance emergency response efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, the utilization of GIS tools and techniques is vital for acquiring and analyzing data pertaining to the intricate work environments within coal mines. This paper seeks to contribute to the advancement of defense and rescue planning and coordination in coal mines while serving as a basis for further research and the application of GIS in this field.enGISdefense and rescue plancoal mineconferenceObject
