Mining sector contributes to the state in the form of state exchequer and foreign exchange, employment and physical development; however, in the other hand leaves environmental and socio-economic footprints in the societies. Therefore, it is imperative to develop mine in sustainable manner with implementing an appropriate mine closure plan early in the process of mine development throughout in all mine planning stages keeping in view of the post mine closure socio-economic need of societies and bio-diversity. In this paper, the post closure sustainable alternatives in the state of Goa were explored by transforming the mining activities into the long term prospective with improved environmental conditions even after cessation of mining activities. The criteria are selected based on the ecological, socio-economic and the cultural aspects by considering sustainability and spatial planning. The desired alternatives for post-mining land use are arrived by examining the relations between criteria and alternatives with the help of mathematical tool - Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results show, the support to the ecotourism and restoration of the ecology are the priority alternatives of the post-mining land use utilization.
