Abstract: The reuse of land resources in abandoned mining areas is very important for the transformation and development of resource-based cities, and it is an inevitable requirement to adapt to the ecological construction of territorial space in the new era. Uses the knowledge graph analysis technology of CiteSpace bibliometric method to sort out the research progress and trend of 970 literatures on land resource reuse in abandoned mining areas retrieved from CNKI Database in recent 20 years and 1 740 articles retrieved from WoS Core Set Database are reviewed. The results show that research on land reuse of abandoned mining areas in China has strong attention, the number of articles has entered a period of rapid growth, and the cooperative relationship network system among core research institutions has been initially established. The results of co-occurrence and clustering visualization of keywords show that the research perspective presents a multi-field and multi-disciplinary participation situation with the change of national policies. The research themes gradually evolve from land reclamation of abandoned mining areas-ecological restoration-resource value evaluation-landscape regeneration design-industrial culture inheritance and innovative development mode. The research content gradually shifts to ecological value mining and resource potential evaluation, resource transformation path exploration and innovation, and the construction of economic and social demand-oriented resource development model. This study can provide reference for the reuse and transformation development of land resources in abandoned mining areas in resource-based cities.
