“…7). The applicability of European subsidy programmes in the case of the regeneration of brownfields in the territory of the Czech Republic was studied by Tvrdon and Chmielova (2020), who proved that there is a certain time delay in the regeneration of abandoned buildings and premises in the Czech Republic compared to Western European countries. Other results of the study indicate that there are considerable differences between NUTS 3 and NUTS 2 regions within the country in the case of the number of existing brownfields, as well as their possible regeneration and reuse.…”

In the current period marked by the need to address a number of economic and social challenges in the context of the sustainable development of towns and municipalities, the issue of the regeneration and reuse of brownfields is a topic that can help find an effective solution on the local, national and international level. The aim of this article is to assess the use of tools in the process of the regeneration of brownfields on the territory of municipalities with extended competence in the Czech Republic. The information contained in this paper was compiled on the basis of a primary survey. It was found that the highest number of abandoned buildings and premises are located in regions which were focused on industrial and mining activities in the past. Furthermore, the authors found that brownfield sites have been regenerated and reused successfully in the territory of the Czech Republic. Based on the relevant survey, the most frequently used financial tools employed by municipalities with extended competence (MEC) for the regeneration of brownfield sites in the last 10 years included municipality budgets, European subsidy programmes and national subsidy programmes. According to the survey, nonfinancial tools used for the successful regeneration of brownfields included own activities and support from the CzechInvest agency. The motives of municipalities and towns located in the territory of individual MECs in the relevant country included mainly a new use of buildings (the rescue of historical buildings/premises and unused industrial parts of a village/town) in the territory of the MEC. The results of the article also highlights the regional differences of the studied area in the case of the existence and use of various financial and non-financial instruments in the process of brownfield regeneration in individual MECs in the Czech Republic.

“…After 1989, the main activities focused on the process of transition to a market economy and the problem of abandoned areas seemed to be marginal at that time, so no strategy was developed. Opening of economy, the loss of traditional consumer markets, low competitiveness vis-à-vis foreign producers have led to traditional sectors such as industry and agriculture starting to clear their positions in many sub-sectors, which has led to the emergence of abandoned sites defined as brownfields (Tvrdon and Chmielova, 2021). Abandoned buildings and sites left without any effort to find some alternative use prevent a further development of built-up sites, unfavourably influence the environment and have a bad impact on the given region in general (Tureckova et al 2019).…”

Urban brownfield sites are abandoned industrial land and their redevelopment may be affected by environmental pollution, as the latter may pose health risks for residents. In this study, six heavy metals (Pb, As, Cr, Zn, Ni, and Cu) were examined from 87 soil samples extracted from four land use types (industrial area, residential/commercial area, traffic area, and agricultural area) in the Mianyang thermal power plant area, Sichuan Province, China. The soil contamination and environmental risk were evaluated using the single factor index, geo-accumulation index and Human Health Risk Evaluation. ArcGIS was used to map out the spatial distribution of heavy metal concentrations and environmental risk. The results of these analyses have indicated that different land use types have significant effects on the heavy metal contamination of soil. There are 10 non-carcinogenic risk areas of heavy metals in industrial land, while in the other three types there are 9 non-carcinogenic risk areas of heavy metals. Under the brownfield renewal planning, the present study scheme provides an effective method of discernment for ecological remediation of soil heavy metals. In addition, it can aid brownfield in finding different remediation strategies with economic benefits for different risk levels of human health.
