“…In the light of the complex and contested way these brownfield sites are perceived, participatory land use planning, in which preferences of stakeholders are taken into account, is crucial to their successful redevelopment (Harclerode et al 2015; Pizzol et al 2016; Rizzo et al 2015). Research has indicated the importance of understanding the potential differences among stakeholders to the success of regeneration projects on urban brownfield sites (Glumac, Han, and Schaefer 2015; Kim and Miller 2017; Martinát et al 2015; Ruelle, Halleux, and Teller 2013; Zhao and Xu 2019); this is likely also to be the case for rural brownfields. However, stakeholders' preferences differ widely and are strongly influenced by factors such as real lived experience with brownfield sites (Hadar, Danziger, and Hertwig 2018), whether the site has been (or is to be) fully or partially reused (Figure 2) (Ruelle et al 2013), the type of reuse that is proposed (Vogt et al 2015), and whether the stakeholder is a visitor (Navratil, Krejci, et al 2018) or a local community member (Maliene et al 2012).…”
