Sažetak
This paper demonstrates how an application of GIS-based Multi-Criteria Analysis could be efficiently used to support humanitarian demining operations and restoration of mine-contaminated areas. The financial shortage usually triggers a need for priority setting in the mine removal process. This overview validates GIS-based Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) as capable tool for priority setting within mine action management. A combination of GIS analysis and a multicriteria method is applied to set humanitarian demining priorities in order to optimally reduce the risk caused by mines. GIS is outlined as a powerful tool for aggregation of information used in multicriteria analysis. It is also shown that coupled GIS-MCA model is very efficient tool for both functional connection between hierarchic decision levels and determination of the objective priorities. Besides GIS-based MCA for priority setting the paper will also demonstrate a development of Web&GIS-based MCA. By functional integration with web, priority setting process become fully transparent since stakeholders and donors are able to actively join decision making process using on-line web application.
