“…Third, the developmental potential of brownfields DOI: 10.2478/mgr-2013-0009 in rural and peripheral regions has been evaluated (see e.g. Svobodová, Věžník, 2009;Vaishar, Jakešová, Náplavová, 2011;Klusáček, Krejčí, Kunc, Martinát, Nováková, 2011). Altogether, the spatial dimension is an important element in brownfield research.…”

Differences between brownfields and redeveloped sites in the Ostrava metropolitan area are subject to analysis in this paper. Environmental burden and former functional use were identified as statistically significant characteristics of such differences. In addition, relations between selected attributes of brownfields and redeveloped sites were analyzed using the “if-then” decision rules of the rough set method. In this way, the research demonstrated the significance of spatial aspects and identified two fundamental types of brownfields in the model area. The first type is represented by agricultural brownfields in the hinterland zone, that are characterized by a complicated ownership structure. Brownfields of the second type are located particularly in the inner city morphogenetic zone, and are characterized by potential problems with environmental burden. In this context, brownfields and redeveloped sites differ respectively in the combination of these characteristics.

“…In view of the fact that industry constitutes the most essential sector in South Moravia, there is a tendency to enhance the higher value of production, due to shifts in structures and businesses, resulting in a higher intensity of industrial activities. Moreover, foreign investors predominantly allocate their investments in Brno and Modřice-the locations with the most extensive industrial terminals in South Moravia [135].…”

Societal Implications of Forest and Water Body Area Evolution in Czechia and Selected Regions

Land cover evolution is an environmental factor that can be used to characterize forest ecosystem services (FES). This study aims to analyze the change in forest cover and water bodies between 1990 and 2018 in the whole Czech Republic, and in the Central Bohemian and South Moravian regions, and its effects on freshwater provision. Additionally, we attempt to understand the societal implications of water quality, public perception, and environmental investment on natural ecosystems. Forest cover and water body data were obtained from the Corine land cover database, while water quality and investment were compiled from the Czech Statistical Office. Public perceptions on the Czech FES were collected from a national survey. Between 1990 and 2018, forest cover has increased by 3.94% and water bodies by 7.65%; however, from 2014 to 2018, severe droughts were reported that compromised the availability of surface water, presumably on artificial structures, causing an increase in the occupied area. Regarding public perception, respondents with less education, and the older population, obtained an assessment of the low performance of the FES, while the water quality and investment indicate that environmental funding has contributed to improving the quality of outflow water from the wastewater treatment plants, fulfilling all the allowed limits of the urban wastewater treatment directive. Hence, a multidisciplinary approach can help decision makers promote policies that integrate environmental management measures, investment protection, and contribute to sustainable development.

“…In the countries of Western Europe, functional and spatial transformations of the suburban area began many decades ago, but in the Central and Eastern part, these processes began much later and are related to the systemic transformation [1]. However, it seems that at present, trends are similar all over Europe, and suburban areas are subject to intensive spatial transformations [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], strong economic pressure [11][12][13][14] and landscape [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The areas near metropolitan centres, where migrations exert strong pressure, are the most transformed in Europe [24,25].…”

This article examines the growth of the labour market and entrepreneurship in a metropolitan area. In particular, the study attempts to answer how the economy of the rural regions is developing in the hinterland of a large urban complex in Southern Poland, which is transforming from a post-industrial conurbation into a metropolitan area. The study applied Florence’s local specialization index, statistical measures, dynamics indexes, and Pearson’s correlation index. The research results show that the local economy, including the labour market, is systematically growing. Rural communes refer to multifunctional development based on services, and they represent diverse economic specializations. They are subject to economies of scale and benefit from the proximity and impact of a large urban complex. The economic growth of rural areas in the hinterland is related to entrepreneurship, convenient location in relation to cities, and migration from cities to villages.
