“…Besides, remote technologies such as high-resolution cameras are used to assess and monitor the results of humanitarian demining (Killeen, 2022;Ibrahim, 2021). Multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal methods are widely used for remote sensing of contaminated areas.…”

The aim of the work is to investigate the possibility of introducing the system of humanitarian demining into the educational process of higher education institutions (HEIs) of Ukraine. The introduction of modern equipment against improvised explosive devices explosive items, for example remotely controlled ones, was also studied. Methods used: content analysis, semi-structured interviews, and self-assessment of the sapper’s competence. The conducted research for the first to describe the results of the possibility of introducing a system of humanitarian demining in HEIs of Ukraine, where it has not yet been introduced. It was found that educational institutions for military training in various fields have sufficient material and technical resources for professional training of demining personnel. It is also proposed to renew or renovate the demining equipment, as well as introduce a project activity on the development of remotely controlled mechanisms against explosive items into the educational process. The results can be useful to researchers and teachers who are working on updating the content of education in accordance with the current security needs. Further research should be conducted on the monitoring of new demining equipment.

“…However, the heterogeneity, diversity, and-above all-the sheer size of data obtained from various sensors pose a significant challenge and make the extraction of relevant, usable information for non-technical time and labor-intensive. The nature of the data necessary to conduct a successful demining is very diverse and includes not only data from multispectral, hyperspectral, ground-penetrating radar or magnetic sensors from remote sensing techniques but also information derived from different unstructured and semi-structured documents such as hand-drawn minefield charts or reports of previous minefield accidents, among others [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

As landmines and other unexploded ordnances (UXOs) present a great risk to civilians and infrastructure, humanitarian demining is an essential component of any post-conflict reconstruction. This paper introduces the Minefield Observatory, a novel web-based datastore service that semantically integrates diverse data in humanitarian demining to comprehensively and formally describe suspected minefields. Because of the high heterogeneity and isolation of the available minefield datasets, extracting relevant information to determine the optimal course of demining efforts is time-consuming, labor-intensive and requires highly specialized knowledge. Data consolidation and artificial intelligence techniques are used to convert unstructured data sources and store them in an ontology-based knowledge database that can be efficiently accessed through a Semantic Web application serving as the Minefield Observatory user interface. The MINEONT+ ontology was developed to integrate diverse mine scene information obtained through non-technical surveys and remote sensing, such as aerial and hyperspectral satellite imagery, indicators of mine presence and absence, contextual data, terrain analysis information, and battlefield reports. The Minefield Observatory uses the Microdata API to embed this dataset into dynamic HTML5 content, allowing seamless usage in a user-centric web tool. A use-case example was provided demonstrating the viability of the proposed approach.

The problem of demining is becoming increasingly prevalent in all areas of life at the international, national and local levels of government. For several decades, demining has been a global task that should be considered not only from a technical perspective, but also through the socio-economic lens of restoration and further development of territorial systems. In this context, it is of particular importance to study the cost of demining, which, from an economic perspective, has a direct impact on the speed and quality of this process, and therefore on the pace of recovery and the trajectory of further socio-economic development in areas devastated by armed conflict. For Ukraine, this area of study has become particularly pertinent in light of the necessity to restore the potential of local socio-economic systems, which are already facing challenges due to the ongoing conflict. International experience can offer insights into the prospects for accelerating the stabilization of internal processes within the state, which justifies the relevance of this research topic. The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between the cost of demining and the restoration of post-conflict socio-economic systems on a global scale. The research methodology is based on a set of methods and principles of scientific knowledge, including general and special methods and techniques used in the study. These include systemic and process approaches, historical and logical methods, comparative analysis, grouping and typology, and logical generalization. The main results of the research are based on the connection between the peculiarities of demining, which form the cost of this process, and the pace of recovery of socio-economic systems in the post-conflict period. The study found that the imperfect nature of the information base for the cost of demining correlates with the adoption of imperfect and erroneous management decisions that delay this process and the transition of socio-economic systems from conflict to post-conflict period, then to reconstruction phase and, finally, to development period. The practical value of the article lies in providing an information and analytical basis for further recommendations to be formulated by state authorities and local self-government bodies in Ukraine on the prospects for implementing international experience in demining to restore the country's territorial potential from a socio-economic perspective.
