“…1) [5]. In addition to the occurrence of heaps and sludge ponds, the types of brownfields are also characterized by machine-technological equipment residues, which may contain fillings with chemical compounds which are risk for environmental quality and human health [4] In addition, the surrounding of brownfields is clearly identifiable in the landscape environment and in terms of environmental quality, also high-risk [6]. As it was mentioned above, it is possible to consider their occurrence on the territory of the Slovak Republic negative because their reuse would reduce the reduction of environmental quality, aesthetic character of the country, biodiversity, economic performance of the region in which they are localized.…”

The article deals with possibilities of brownfields using after mining and processing of mineral resources in the Slovak Republic, which represent not enough used or unused land, including administrative buildings or mechanical engineering objects. These types of brownfields are often accompanied by environmental burdens in various forms and levels of contamination of individual environmental components. Brownfields, whose degree of degradation and contamination is directly determined by the way of mining and processing of mineral resources, represent the so-called brown investments, which do not benefit the region where the brownfields are currently located. The article points to the current state of existence of environmental burdens as a result of mining and processing of mineral resources, which is also considered negative determinants of their occurrence. Based on the prioritization of negative and positive determinants of the possible use of brownfields after mining and processing of mineral resources, it concludes with a categorization of their possible further use.

“…As stressed by De Sousa (2000) or Alker and Stone (2005), brownfields typically reduce the attractiveness and economic value of given neighbourhoods. This problem makes the utilization of such areas for both urban and rural tourism more challenging for a potential new development (Pavolova et al, 2012), especially if the sites are severely contaminated. On the other hand, many brownfields hold historic, architectural, or urbanistic values.…”

Central Europe is replete with legacy contaminated sites, commonly called "brownfields". The question is what can be done to remediate them and make them again safe and useful to society. This question is addressed in post-socialistic city of Brno, the Czech Republic. Our research assesses public perceptions of such sites that are currently utilized for the leisure time activities. Special attention is paid to public views of heritage preservation as an option for brownfield regeneration. The principal aim of the paper is to measure public support of heritage preservation through the conversion of brownfields to leisure activities and tourism. Data were gathered by means of the questionnaire survey with visitors of four brownfields currently being used for leisure time activities (n=130). It was revealed that the awareness of the visitors of the issue of brownfield regeneration is very low, and that importantly affects the perception of heritage preservation of individual sites. Further, the opinions of the respondents are significantly influenced by the local contexts of individual brownfields (predominantly by the situation and the technical state). However, it might be stated that in locations where the historical state of building has already been repaired, historical heritage is perceived more positively.

“…• high ion exchange and selectivity, • reversible hydration and dehydration, • high gas sorption capability, • high thermostability, • resistance to aggressive environments, Thanks to the abovementioned specific physico-chemical properties, the zeolite has widely use in various national economic sectors of the Slovak Republic, e.g. in agricultural and livestock production, building industry, water and flue gas cleaning, heavy metal removal from water, moisture reduction, also in various other industries [2,3]. Despite these facts, it is necessary to be the zeolite deposits effectively exploited to achieve the desired economic, social, and environmental impact in terms of sustainable development of the Slovak Republic regions [4,5].…”

The presented article deals with the impact of mining of mineral resources, namely zeolites, to the socio -economic area of regional development. Case study is focused on analysis of macroeconomic parameters of selected indicators for the implementation of the zeolite mining project in the Prešov region. This way we can point out to benefits for the state and the region. In accordance with the applicable legislation are quantified revenues for the municipality (or region) -the form of payments for the mining area, extracted minerals and local taxes and fees, for the state in the form of levies and taxes on employment, corporate income tax, VAT. In conclusion, it summarizes and quantifies the economic benefits of zeolite mining for the state and the investor through the duration of the surface mining of the mineral resource.
