“…Accordingly, it has been proven that the clearing of mine contaminated areas with a high priority [7] has a significant impact on the standard of living ( [3], [5], [6]). Furthermore, priority setting increases sustainability of humanitarian demining, emphasizing not only economical aspect but also social and ecological aspects ( [9], [10]).…”

Abstract. In the last 20 years, priority setting in mine actions, i.e. in humanitarian demining, has become an increasingly important topic. Given that mine action projects require management and decision-making based on a multi-criteria approach, multicriteria decision-making methods like PROMETHEE and AHP have been used worldwide for priority setting. However, from the aspect of mine action, where stakeholders in the decision-making process for priority setting are project managers, local politicians, leaders of different humanitarian organizations, or similar, applying these methods can be difficult. Therefore, a specialized web-based decision support system (Web DSS) for priority setting, developed as part of the FP7 project TIRAMISU, has been extended using a module for developing custom priority setting scenarios in line with an exceptionally easy, userfriendly approach. The idea behind this research is to simplify the multi-criteria analysis based on the PROMETHEE method. Therefore, a simplified PROMETHEE method based on statistical analysis for automated suggestions of parameters such as preference function thresholds, interactive selection of criteria weights, and easy input of criteria evaluations is presented in this paper. The result is web-based DSS that can be applied worldwide for priority setting in mine action. Additionally, the management of mine action projects is supported using modules for providing spatial data based on the geographic information system (GIS). In this paper, the benefits and limitations of a simplified PROMETHEE method are presented using a case study involving mine action projects, and subsequently, certain proposals are given for the further research.

“…The use of case study in realist evaluation has received wide support as an appropriate method to enable the testing of multiple components of program theories [43,169] with several examples, particularly in the field of health [209,[212][213][214]. Similar to realist evaluation, theory development is a key aspect of the case study method.…”
