Information support for brownfield revitalization projects

Abstract

This paper describes the solution of information support for brownfield revitalization projects. We created a methodology for the creation of digital landscape models for the purpose of visualization, which enables simulation of the appearance of the landscape after implementation of the selected reclamation process. We cite an overview of data sources publicly accessible in the Czech Republic for use in GIS systems in solving the issue of brownfields. A further section of this paper presents the results of the COBRAMAN international project, under which we, as the co-directors, proposed and implemented into operation a database of brownfield revitalization projects under solution in Central Europe. This database provides “best practices” from a whole spectrum of areas related to revitalization project of all types of brownfields.
