Research on Ecological Restoration Strategies for Abandoned Mines Based on Ecology-Oriented Development.

This article focuses on the ecological restoration of abandoned mines in China within the framework of ecology-oriented development (EOD), employing a differential game model involving government and enterprise players. It analyzes four modes—cooperative, noncooperative without policy, noncooperative with ecological restoration compensation, and noncooperative with industrial support—examining investment levels, restoration quality, industry development, pricing strategies, and profit dynamics. Key findings indicate that extending the government’s concession period incentivizes greater enterprise investment in ecological restoration and environmentally sensitive industries; the cooperative mode yields the highest overall benefits; and differentiated government policies (ecological restoration compensation or industrial support) effectively promote enterprise inputs depending on industry characteristics. The study offers policy recommendations emphasizing concession period extension, preference for cooperative modes to attract social capital, and tailored subsidy policies to enhance restoration and industrial development efforts.
