Social security of the state is the ability to guarantee and provide its citizens with safe and decent living standards. Study of the impact of the war on the state of national security, in particular human social security, will help to identify weaknesses in the state policy implementation in the political, economic and social areas. The impact of Russia's full-scale war against our country on the social security of Ukrainians requires substantiation of new, more effective mechanisms and tools for strengthening human social security in times of war. Under these circumstances, there is a need to apply new technologies to manage the socio-economic processes of the state for analysis and decision-making, and to reflect the current situation. These technologies will make it possible to predict scenarios and offer managers at all levels the best ways to achieve a balanced result. We need technologies that can effectively combine space and time with large amounts of special data in the form of attribute information about objects in the operational environment, background information about regions, climatic conditions, socio-economic conditions and processes in the region, etc. The need for prompt decision-making based on real indicators of anthropogenic, social, and environmental nature, taking into account the factors of space and time in a particular region or area of study, necessitates the involvement of specialized software platforms – geographic information systems that combine analytical capabilities with geospatial analysis. Today, a large number of general-purpose geographic information systems have been developed, but despite the variety of such software products, there is still a need to create specialized geographic information documents and databases that allow obtaining up-to-date geographic information data, the use of which leads to a real reduction in the time required to solve specialized tasks of information management systems. The analysis and decision support system in the environment of existing geographic information platforms will allow to take into account the influence of external factors, analyze the possibility of development, expansion, and monitor the state of the general environment when assessing the current state of input data, using information on the spatial distribution of the necessary resources, information on the competitive environment, etc. With the help of spatial and surface analysis modules, a GIS user can analyze spatially compatible objects and their interrelationships, taking into account the dynamics of their development. Currently, the world leader among geographic information systems is the ArcGIS products. It is a complete system that allows you to collect, organize, manage, analyze, exchange and distribute geographic data. Additionally, ArcGIS, depending on the type and specification of the platform, has other specialized modules that provide a wide range of opportunities for working with geodata and their visual display, namely: creation, management, visualization, analysis and exchange of geographic information. In addition, there are many compatible applications and extensions that integrate into the GIS platform and are focused on solving highly specialized tasks, such as assessing the state of the environment (water, soil, vegetation) or forecasting the development of natural phenomena and man-made emergencies. The article analyzes and substantiates the approaches to the use of a geographic information system as an effective tool for studying the impact of a full-scale war on human social security, improving the efficiency, completeness and quality of information and spatial support for management processes. The modern and full-featured ArcGIS system is considered as a platform that allows not only to form a geographic information system of any scale and purpose, but also to form on its basis an effective system of socio-economic monitoring, which is combined with decision support systems. The article presents an algorithm for studying the impact of a full-scale war on human social security using the ArcGIS system as an effective decision support tool with the use of spatially specialized databases.
