    The development of open-pit mining will depend on the ability to solve conflicts connected with the impact of their exploitation in Natura 2000 areas. This new form of environmental protection, which was introduced into the national system on May 1 2004, makes it necessary to include protective actions in mining projects to maintain the proper condition of natural habitats and of protected animal and plant habitats. In an analysis of the available method to assess the possibility of conducting mining activity that impacts Natura 2000 areas, it was found that no such research tools existed for open-pit mining. The aim of the thesis was to fill in the gap and to devise an objective method, which could support the decision-making process. While working to achieve this aim, conflicting deposits were identified countrywide. It resulted in selecting 644 deposits, the open-pit exploitation of which may affect Natura 2000 areas. It was established that the exploitation of these conflicting deposits might affect 77 Natura 2000 bird protection areas and 99 Natura 2000 habitat protection areas. The method devised used the multiplicative variant of the Analytic Hierarchy Process method to create a ranking of ore deposits in respect of the possibility of mining exploitation of these deposits. The classification was performed using two different classifiers: the RBF neural network and the Bayesian classifier. Finally, two classes of the solution: ACTIVITY ALLOWED by the method and ACTIVITY NOT ALLOWED. The KZN2000/mAHP is the first method, which analyses economic, legal, geological and mining as well as environmental conditions.
