Аnnotation

 

The article substantiates a scientific and applied approach to integrating digital technologies and geographic information systems into humanitarian demining processes. It shows that moving from fragmented use of individual digital tools to a coherent digital geospatial ecosystem significantly improves decision quality during non-technical survey, technical survey, clearance, quality assurance and land handover. The key components of such integration are identified as standardized digital data, geospatial models, satellite and aerial imagery, unmanned platforms, mobile field data collection tools, analytical dashboards, spatial prioritization algorithms and decision-support systems. A mathe-matical framework is proposed for assessing the digital-geospatial maturity of an operator, prioritizing hazardous areas and forecasting operational productivity depending on data quality, information la-tency, contamination uncertainty and terrain accessibility. It is argued that the practical effect of in-tegration lies in reducing the time needed for field-data processing, increasing the precision of haz-ardous-area boundaries, decreasing duplicated routes, improving resource allocation and strengthening reporting transparency. The scientific novelty lies in the development of an integrated model combin-ing a digital-geospatial maturity coefficient, a data –quality index, a spatial-priority index and an ex-pected operational-efficiency function. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of applying the proposed provisions to humanitarian demining management, personnel training, digi-tal architecture design and information-management improvement under conditions of large-scale contamination by explosive ordnance in Ukraine. The model is adaptable to national and operator-level workflows.
