Abstract
Multi-criterial analysis under the current use of digital geographic data is a quite common method used to evaluate the influence of the geographic environment on a planned or ongoing activity. The advantage of this method is a possibility of complex evaluation of all influences as well as a possibility to observe how the individual influences manifest in the final result. Its critical moment is establishing the structure of individual factors that influence the given activity, setting their weights and, subsequently, a choice of a suitable user function. The article provides guidelines how to set the individual decision-making criteria including setting their weights, and the application of the resulting user function in GIS environment with regards to the problem solved. Furthermore, the influence of change in weights of criteria on the complete result of the analysis is discussed. This article documents detailed studies that show how the results of solutions can differ in the same analytical task based on change in the weights of individual criteria. These studies are documented on a model example of a chosen suitable place for the deployment of decontamination center. Finally, the article describes possibilities of further development of the model solution, with the aim to make it a verified tool that may be implemented in the systems of command in Fire Rescue Service units and Chemical Troops units of the Czech Army.
Highlights
Information support of the Rescue System units, as well as Armed Forces, uses control systems for their activities that are mainly based on information and communications systems technologies
In case of operations of a larger extent solved in larger areas, they cannot work without so-called structured decision-making processes that are based on standing operational procedures (SOP) and on the rules of their use [2,3]
Using the weights by theoreticians, a new multi-criterial analysis according to the same process model that was described in paragraph 3.1 was made
Summary
Information support of the Rescue System units, as well as Armed Forces, uses control systems for their activities that are mainly based on information and communications systems technologies. That is the reason for implementing procedures using digital geographic data (DGD) as a basic background for localization of subjects and objects of a critical situation in an area where the situation is taking place. This data, is used as a source of information for modelling the impacts of current or expected actions on the complete situation, for projecting future intentions and their planning etc. Decision-making processes in the environment of information and communication technologies (ICT) are above all structured processes These processes often use the method of multi-criterial analysis (MCA). The whole procedure of MCA is influenced by the choice of individual factors, by defining criteria for their evaluation, by the methodology used for setting weights of these criteria and, by the choice of a suitable form of the resulting user function
