Metallurgical brownfields RE-use in the conditions of Slovakia – a case study

Abstract

The article deals with a system approach to solving the problems of re-use of metallurgical brownfields in Slovakia, as a potential tool to support further regional development, accepting the valid legal regulations of the Slovak Republic, as well as the principles of sustainable environmental development. The solution to this problem was based on the identification of the specific aspects of the benefits and risks of internal and external environment determining the resulting benefit from the realisation of potential metallurgical brownfields development projects and monitoring of selected indicators supporting the development of the region itself.
