The Impact Scoring tool allows Mine Action Programmes to perform complex impact analyses of {{IMSMANG}} data. The tool is intended to help programmes to analyse several impact scenarios during their prioritisation and resource allocation process.
Using the Impact Scoring Tool, information managers can select which land factors to evaluate in an analysis. The tool has advanced capabilities to assess the impact of land on individual locations according to multiple-factor weighting schemes. The assessment can be done by using traditional impact factors (recent victims, blocked agriculture, blocked roads, blocked water source, etc) or any other data element from land stored in {{IMSMANG}}. Each factor must be given a weight which will enable to calculate and assign the impact score for each '''[[Location Summary Window | Location''']]]. The final output is a list of locations ranked by impact based on the factors and weightings determined for that analysis.
{{IMSMANG}} allows information managers to create multiple scenarios using the Impact Scoring tool that can be run simultaneously to determine which factors are more important. {{IMSMANG}} also allows information managers to customise the display of the resulting analysis on the map. Both the factors and scenarios used in impact scoring and the resulting analyses can be saved within {{IMSMANG}} to allow planners to compare changes over time.
