Categorization of constructional and technical condition for processing of brownfield identifying studies

Abstract

The issue of brownfield revitalization is one of very actual topics in the area of the sustainable development and construction. The registration of localities characterized as brownfields is addressed within compiling and updating Land Analytic Background of municipalities in the Czech Republic. However, it is very unsatisfactory for practical revitalization needs, and it is partly due to disunity in the data recorded in different locations in different administrative territories, and also the small range of such data. Therefore, so called “Brownfield Identifying Studies” are important to compile in particular administrative districts at the level of municipalities with extended jurisdiction. These studies are tasked with not only identifying brownfields = localizing but also keeping database of them with closer data which can make potential investor’s decision much easier. Constructional and technical condition is one of the assessed and registered data when compiling and cataloguing Brownfield Identifying Studies. As these databases are used by large - unprofessional public it is necessary to describe the condition as simply as possible, for instance to express it by a numerical marking. The pitfalls of brownfield constructional and technical condition classification are described in detail in the contribution.
