Urban brownfields in an anthrpogenically affected area of Northern Bohemia

Original language description

Soil is a non-renewable resource and we should also treat it accordingly. Urbanization of natural land is a long-term global problem which results in expansion of anthropogenic soils. Effective use of so called brownfield sites could be one of the ways to eliminate the negative impact of the areas affected by urbanization. Brownfields are old and abandoned areas of former industrial and commercial zones within towns or other settlements, which have lost their original use and at the same time pose a possible ecological risk to the inhabitants. Regeneration of brownfield sites should be an important approach within sustainable development. The first part of the contribution focuses on general definition and characterization of brownfield sites, the current state of brownfields in the Czech Republic and in the world and examples of their regeneration. The expansion of brownfields in the Czech Republic began after political and economic changes in the country during the 1990s. As of 2019, there are registered approximately 3500 brownfield sites in the country, of which over 450 are offered to investors for revitalization. Revitalized brownfields are often used for commercial, residential or recreational purposes. The second part describes not registered brownfield sites in specific area affected by anthropogenic activities in northern Bohemia. This part of the Czech Republic have been affected by open-cast brown coal mining and coal processing, and chemical industry for decades. Aim of the research was to map brownfield sites in rural settlements of the selected area to create their database. This database could serve to update existing brownfield database in the Czech Republic. Future purpose of the found brownfields is concentrated on development of new recreational areas to improve social and ecological stability of this part of the country.
