“…Recent changes are influenced particularly by the restructuring of industry in the Czech Republic after 1989 that was followed by the emergence of brownfield and revitalization efforts [30,35]. Revitalization of brownfield sites in the urban environment and its impact on functional land use in proximity to railways are also the subject of studies in other European countries [28,29]. A specific issue concerns mining areas, where the reduction, conservation, or expansion of mining activity is crucial for functional urban division.…”

“…The correlation between the development of settlement structures at railways and the emergence of trespassing is not commonly studied. More often, attention is given to issues of brownfield revitalization, where the relationships and links between the functional use of land and railway infrastructure are quite obvious, namely in towns [28][29][30].…”

Railway trespassing is a very risky but common behaviour, resulting in about 200 casualties annually in the Czech Republic. This study describes the formation of 27 selected risk localities with frequent occurrence of trespassing in the regions of southern, central and northern Moravia. To be able to describe the process, an evaluation of the development of land use was conducted within a wide spatial context of each spot. The evaluation was focused on functional use of built-up areas (collective and individual housing, industrial areas, shopping and services, recreational areas, etc.). In the sample of investigated localities were places of two kinds: (1) localities where the railway intersected existing settlement structures, and relationships and links within the area were radically disturbed and severed. A lack of legal possibilities for crossing restricts the movement of inhabitants at these localities; (2) localities where the railway originally passed through open landscape and was later surrounded by built-up areas with various land-use functions. Here, trespassing is the consequence of gaps in the urban-planning process, wherein the needs of pedestrians and cyclists were not sufficiently considered. The analysis of the development of land use since 1836 showed how the motivations of trespassing were gradually intensified with more and more complex structures of functional division of areas. The percentage of built-up areas increased in all monitored localities overall from 6.28% during 1836-1852 to 52.15% during 2014-2015.

“…Similar logic has been utilized also by other authors who argue that in regions where a higher potential of local development is measured, a higher probability exists that local brownfields will be more successfully regenerated. Bartke et al, 2016 andLimasset et al, 2018). The specifics of brownfield regeneration in the post-communist space are widely discussed by Osman et al (2015).…”

Brownfields are undesirable urbanistic heritage and their occurrence is associated with a number of negative effects, which our society tries to minimize repeatedly, both successfully and unsuccessfully. Especially in the context of the multi-perspective concept of sustainable development, the issue of brownfields is accentuated with the intention to reuse abandoned areas that have lost their original use and regenerate them in a way that enriches not only individual stakeholders but generally the whole society. Although each brownfield is unique within its set of partial characteristics, it is possible to determine by means of mathematical-statistical methods the key patterns that are important for brownfields in terms of their overall nature. The identification of these common patterns across a selected set of brownfields is important for establishing of general recommendations for their potential regeneration. In our paper, we proceeded from the analysis of 460 non-regenerated brownfields located in the Czech Republic, and by means of correspondence analysis we determined which categories most influence the potential brownfield regeneration from the perspective of a two-dimensional (stage) approach. Information on brownfields was taken from the publicly available database of the state-funded company the CzechInvest for 2018 and supplemented by authors with other relevant variables. The analysis of the data revealed factors that may have a major impact in the initial phase of the decision on potential brownfield regeneration, and at the same time factors that do not seem to be substantial for regeneration. The applicability of the results of our analyses creates space for better-targeted brownfield regeneration policies, especially in the area of specifications for calls for brownfield regeneration projects, their financial support, implementation of process innovations, etc.

“…Navratil et al [5] in their study documented that heritage preservation of sites is one of the factors of key importance when planning a regeneration project. A set of studies has also been devoted to the problem of prioritization of brownfields for regeneration [6][7][8]. Authors of these studies follow the logic that the areas with higher local development potential possess a higher probability that local brownfields will be regenerated.…”

Abstract:The issue of brownfield regeneration is closely connected to balanced and sustainable development of regions, towns, and cities as it endeavors to reuse buildings and sites that have already lost their original use, but at the same time offers a possibility to generate new beneficial activities for the whole society that exceed just material or physical changes of the brownfield sites. The regeneration of every brownfield is usually a highly site-specific issue and individual and unique impacts of regeneration on the particular locality are obvious. Yet, several patterns in sets of non-regenerated brownfields can be identified. By finding and defining such patterns, a framework of indicators to facilitate brownfield regeneration can be created and the importance and strength of a particular indicator can be defined. By means of the analyses, we are able to recommend various relevant and most suitable approaches with regards to brownfield regeneration in individual regions. We have employed Factor Analysis (FA) for the identification of key factors of brownfield regeneration. In particular, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to conduct analyses of 1304 non-regenerated brownfields located in seven regions of the Czech Republic (NUTS 3 level). Data were obtained from publicly available brownfield databases of individual regional administrations. By means of Factor Analysis, it was ascertained that the most frequent factor that is typical for the surveyed non-regenerated brownfields is the ownership. The second most frequent factor is the size of the brownfields. As the third factor according to importance, the distance between the location of the individual brownfield and the municipality of extended powers (the so-called small district) was identified. By taking into account the results of the conducted analyses, brownfield regeneration policies of individual regions might be adapted to be more suitably targeted.
