The invention discloses a zoning evaluation method for a roof rock stratum structure of a coal seam, a mining area or a working face. The method comprises the following steps: determining an evaluation object and an evaluation area; determining the cumulative mining thickness of the mined coal seam, determining the caving zone and fissure zone development height of the mined coal seam, determiningthe cumulative thickness of the three-zone rock stratum, zoning, correcting the calculation result, determining the weak surface decline coefficient of the three-zone rock stratum and the complete rock stratum, calculating the roof rock stratum thickness characteristic parameters, and carrying out danger grade division, grading control, monitoring and prevention and control. According to the method, different coal seam inclination angles, coal mining processes, coal mining methods, coal seam group space positions and overlying strata 'three-zone 'distribution rules under overlying strata lithology are comprehensively considered; the method can realize zoning evaluation of the roof rock stratum structure of the coal seam, the mining area or the mining working face, is suitable for mines with rock burst risks, and can also be used for coal seams, mining areas or mining working faces with roof evaluation requirements.
