“…Environmental hazards are widely discussed in the topic of industrial brownfields because the nature of the environmental load is significantly determined by the mode of former industrial production (Page, Berger, 2006), and economic impacts of the ecological burdens of urban brownfields are well documented (Howland, 2004;Schoenbaum, 2002). Agricultural brownfields can pose serious environmental hazards in some cases.…”

ABSTRACT:The paper presents the procedure of assessing the redevelopment potential of brownfields within the 10 km wide zone along the D1/A1 motorway Ostrava -Gliwice". In the first part, the basic ideas and terms of the issue are explained. The second part has a methodological character where methods used to determine and assess the redevelopment potential of the brownfields are described and applied on examples in the study territory. The field data collection was supported by the application of the Google Maps Street View technology. The paper outputs in the third part are based on presented working methods in GIS and represented with the brownfields assessed for the purpose of their future best usage.

“…Until the 2000s, there was no general definition of the term "brownfield" [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The United States Environmental Protection Administration (U.S. EPA) defines brownfields as "industrial and commercial sites which were abandoned, idled or unused, with the presence of environment pollutants or the possibility of existence of pollutants" [7].…”

Therefore, as a sustainable strategy, appropriate policies, regulations, and assessment tools need to be designed for the reuse of brownfields [3,5,[18][19][20]. Although the government could analyze the driving forces of market transactions based on the social and economic aspects of brownfield reuse, the criteria for defining "successful redevelopment" have rarely been studied [21][22][23][24].…”

Abstract:The redevelopment of brownfields has become an important issue, as the number of contaminated sites has been increasing. However, a comprehensive regulatory framework is lacking that includes urban planning and a sustainability plan at the national level to support brownfield redevelopment in Taiwan. Few studies have explored sustainable management objectives to reduce the environmental impact of increasing economic value of the proliferating redeveloped brownfields. This study proposes a feasible definition for "brownfield" in Taiwan and analyzes the remediation goals to enable their inclusion in future land-use categories for urban planning. In order to rank the various options for brownfield development by sustainability, this study evaluates the external costs and benefits based on the environmental impact. Finally, the brownfield sustainability index (BSI) was developed to determine the feasibility of sustainable redevelopment relevant to the different land reuse scenarios. For the selected study site, the option of green land with solar energy (ground P-Si panels) was determined to be the best choice compared with the commercial, residential, and industrial scenarios. This study provides a framework for planning brownfield assessment strategies to address the current soil and groundwater remediation and land use policy issues in Taiwan.
