APPLICATION OF BPMN FOR MANAGEMENT OF REMEDIATION PROCESSES IN WAR-AFFECTED TERRITORIES OF UKRAINE

The need for scientific developments in creating an effective management system for remediating war-affected territories is becoming an increasingly relevant and significant issue. The international community has recognized that the second most extensive and destructive war in Europe (after World War II, author's note) has inflicted substantial damage on Ukraine's ecosystems and natural resources. The restoration of territories contaminated with chemical substances, military debris, and other hazardous waste requires a systematic and comprehensive approach to coordinating the actions of all participants in the remediation process, as well as overseeing task fulfillment, with a focus on optimizing resource and time usage. Therefore, the authors explore the potential use of BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) as a tool for enhancing the efficiency of remediation process management at all levels of hierarchy: the higher state level, the intermediate (regional) level, and the local management level. The article analyzes BPMN’s key advantages, notably its capacity to visualize, structure, and automate all stages of contaminated area remediation, from environmental condition analysis to monitoring restoration operations and evaluating results. What makes BPMN particularly valuable for management in the outlined application conditions is its ability to support rapid and effective decision-making through access to updated information. In the authors' study, BPMN is considered within the context of large-scale management of complex remediation processes, including the capability to model various scenarios, monitor task execution, and ensure the achievement of critical goals. Special attention is given to analyzing the possibilities of BPMN hybridization, proposing its integration with other technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). According to the authors, such a hybrid management system would become even more responsive and able to adapt swiftly to changing circumstances during remediation efforts.
