PARADISAim: improving the planning of
Humanitarian Demining campaigns
• Why?
• Campaign managers, field operators (deminers)
• Mine Action Community
• Solutions: • Centralizing the information in a GIS
• Using satellite imagery as regional / local map
• Integrating missing tools into PARADIS
• For whom?
• Large areas => a lot of information to manage
• No map available
• Some tools are not available in existing systems

Structure of the system
Country ~ :1,000,000
Region 1: 250,000 => 1: 50,000
Field 1: 10,000 => 1: 1,500
Advancement ~ 1: 500

• Region:1 pixel = 10m x 10m
• Used as a topographic map of the zone of work
• Interpretation= roads, rivers, fields, etc seen by experts on the image
• Region and field scales

3. Planning
- managing teams- tasking- reporting
- setting priorities on zones- getting an overview of the situation

4. Technical survey- Field: clearing minefields, roving
- MAC: following and managing work progress

PARADIS: which advantages?• No data loss
• No information entered twice
• “Automatic” filling of reports
ex: X,Y coordinates can’t be inverted
Data are extracted from the database by the system
• No data corruptionData are centralized in a GIS database; digital data
ex: Incident report => Reconnaissance report => EOD report
• Intelligent management toolsex: the tools presented today!

ConclusionsPARADIS is:
A GIS that enables the user to better manage a Humanitarian Demining campaign following the different tasks assigned to deminers
Aimed to be used by demining organisations during their missions in developing countries
Useful for the campaign manager and the field operator
Will be distributed free of charges to the Mine Action community
