We review the current and potential uses of Geographic Information Software (GIS) and "spatial thinking" for understanding body disposal behaviour in times of mass fatalities, particularly armed conflict contexts. The review includes observations made by the authors during the course of their academic research and professional consulting on the use of spatial analysis and GIS to support Humanitarian Forensic Action (HFA) to search for the dead, theoretical and statistical considerations in modelling grave site locations, and suggestions on how this work may be advanced further.
我们回顾了地理信息软件（GIS）和“空间思维”在理解大规模死亡事件，尤其是武装冲突背景下的尸体处理行为方面的当前及潜在用途。该综述包括作者在其学术研究和专业咨询过程中所做的关于使用空间分析和GIS来支持人道主义法医行动（HFA）以搜寻死者的观察、在对墓地位置进行建模时的理论和统计考量，以及关于如何进一步推进这项工作的建议。
