“…Trashmore (Virginia, USA), Freshkills Park (New York, USA), Cesar Chavez Park (Berkley, USA), Sai Tso Wan Recreation Ground (Hong Kong), Pulau Semaku (Singapore), Port Sunlight River Park (Birkenhead, UK) and Hiriya Park (Tel-Aviv, Israel) and so forth. Thus, it seems that the option of building a recreational park after closing an old landfill could prove to be a promising measure, based on previous research literature on the redevelopment potentials of landfills [29][30][31][32] and the making of urban green space strategies [19,33].…”

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the economic value potentially accrued by a prospective city park, which is planned to be built as a result of strategic land reclamation of a current landfill in Croatia, based on parkgoers’ marginal willingness to pay. The idea of this land transformation is inspired by recent debate on the issue of how to address air quality and other environmental concerns over the disposal of the landfill site in the city. Like any other nonmarket valuation studies, choosing a proper survey method is a critical step for a successful economic valuation study. We adopted a double bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation method in survey design and data collection, followed by parameter estimation using the logit model. The study reveals—(1) the support of 70% of respondents was estimated; (2) as much as 96% of the respondents are willing to visit the park being presented to the respondents along with the survey questionnaire. The economic valuation indicates that the city residents are willing to pay €3.63 per person for the park’s entrance fees, which can be translated into an aggregate of €2,867,762. By referring this value information to the park budget, we may persuade policy makers to commit to a transformation of the current landfill.

“…Although the waste was old and it was considered that a significant proportion of settlement had already occurred, site uses comprise surface or low rise structures including car parks for adjacent sports stadia and a recycling centre. Wong et al (2013) report settlement monitoring of light redevelopment on landfills in Hong Kong -even the use as a park and recreational area was seen to significantly increase settlement rates. Recently, the possibility of constructing solar energy generation systems on closed waste sites was explored by Sampson (2009).…”

Resources are lost in dumps from the time civilization knows itself. Solid waste handling through ‘zero waste’ concept is important for disposed waste reuse/recycling. The challenge for future is landfill mining (LFM) – one of the approaches dealing with that approach. We can think of recycling of valuable components such as plastic, metals and even rare soil elements if we have the right technology. Fine fraction of waste derived from excavated, separated and screened waste is also a perspective of circular economy as this inert fraction may serve as methane degradation layer for covering the old as well as new landfills. It may reduce harmful CH4 emissions and diminish the raw material use for closure of dumping sites. The aim of this study is to give an outlook on opportunities and describe other benefits for circular economy from innovative construction technology of cover layer. Rejected material may contain up to 40–60% of dump site/landfill mass and we may have interest in: 1) estimation of fine fraction of waste as functional construction material; 2) watching environmental effects – possible leaching and emissions; 3) keeping dumpsite revitalization as the master plan idea. First studies revealed the potential of fine fraction of dumpsite material for sustainable covering layer development. This study is supported by the project No.1.1.1.2/VIAA/3/19/531 ‘Innovative technologies for stabilization of landfills – diminishing environmental impact and resources potential in frames of circular economy'.

“…Subsequent developments of old waste landfills may allow society to utilize the grounds in a way that would be impossible in a fully developed area. Closed-down landfills ensure access to green zones in urban areas so that society may live in a healthier environment [84,85]. Due to the general lack of free space, old landfills in Spain, Japan or China are often utilized to create urban green areas with recreational and sport objects [86].…”

“…Another example is the Moerenuma Park in Sapporo, which is unique in its typology and is the largest park in the world that has been completely built on a waste landfill. It is a complex park, which is the base of the Circular Greenbelt Concept, connecting the green areas of Sapporo city in a loop [84,88]. Another interesting example is the development of the area of the ancient Hiriya landfill in Tel Aviv [89].…”

Space Redevelopment of Old Landfill Located in the Zone between Urban and Protected Areas: Case Study

Landfills are elements of the waste management system, without possibility of further reclaiming, according to the requirements of a closed-loop economy, but with the possibility of transforming the area into other functions. The research combined monitoring of plant species, suggesting the composition of vegetation cover for pro-ecological management, analysis of functional and infrastructural incorporation of the landfill in the surrounding landscape, and proposals for reclamation and social application. An assessment of geotechnical safety was also made. Modernization of the landfill suggests that the pressure placed on other untouched locations should decrease. The designed space allows reintroducing socio-ecological life into this degraded area. Taking advantage of the character of the area, including variable development and significant landscape potential on the outskirts of a large city in the vicinity of protected areas, there is the possibility of creating new spatial quality following the standards of modern architecture-urban planning. One of the innovative elements of the project is the implementation of energy from renewable sources, including landfill biogas, photovoltaic panels and heat pumps. The development design includes social expectations and adaptation of new techniques to functioning in times of increased sanitary threats. The proposed design direction may be considered as a recommended trend for the sustainable development of urban areas.
