cze	Metody hodnocení použitelnosti Webových geografických informačních systémů	Prostorově-orientované rozhodování hraje v lidksém životě významnou roli. Proces rozhodování mohou významně podpořit vhodné programové prostředky. Desktopové geografické informační systémy (GIS) jsou profesionály používány dlouho. Nejsou ale vhodné pro koncové uživatele. Special kind of GIS applications, usually called Web-based GIS, is focused on end users, i.e. on casually working people who may have only a very limited knowledge of GIS, if any. Their computer literacy can be very low as well. Design of Web-based GIS should respect this reality so applications should be proposed with a strong focus on their usability. This article deals with suitable methods of usability testing of Web-based GIS. Several usability problems identified during previously done usability testing are described. Recommendations, how to prevent usability problems, are provided in the end of the article.	Prostorově-orientované rozhodování; webový GIS; použitelnost; heuristika; heuristické hodnocení
