Visualization of Land Mine Danger, Svilaja Region (Croatia)

Mines remaining from the Homeland War are a huge problem in Croatia. The joint work of experts in humanitarian demining and military doctrines in certain geographical areas, and scientists of various profiles, has resulted in a concept for producing mine danger maps, which show areas and levels of potential hazards from mines, i.e. suspected hazardous areas. This paper presents the concept for producing mine danger maps for a suspected hazardous area (Svilaja, Croatia). The input data comprise information stored in mine information systems and additional data collected on the suspected hazardous area (e.g. bunkers and shelters for tanks, artillery and people). The resulting maps (Main Map) seek to improve the identification of areas where there is no threat so that parts of suspected hazardous areas can be proposed for mine reduction, or suspected hazardous areas can be better defined.

克罗地亚境内祖国战争遗留的地雷仍是该国面临的严峻问题。由人道主义排雷专家、特定地理区域军事条令专家，以及多领域科学家协同开展的研究工作，最终提出了地雷危险地图的制作方案：该地图可标注存在地雷潜在威胁的区域及其危险等级，即疑似危险区域（suspected hazardous area）。本文以克罗地亚斯维拉亚（Svilaja）疑似危险区域为例，阐述了该类地雷危险地图的制作方案。该方案的输入数据包括存储于地雷信息系统中的相关信息，以及在该疑似危险区域实地采集的补充数据（例如坦克、火炮掩体及人员避难所相关资料）。最终生成的主地图（Main Map）旨在优化无威胁区域的识别工作，以便可将部分疑似危险区域纳入雷患消减行动范围，或是对疑似危险区域进行更精准的界定。
