“…The same factors account for investments into other non-agricultural uses. Thus, the existence of an agglomeration centre significantly affects possibilities for new uses of agricultural premises (Skála et al, 2013), which is a phenomenon that is not existing in the peripheries (Klusáček et al, 2013). On the other hand, Blatná SD presents a very interesting case as the redevelopment of agricultural premises into housing and non-agricultural use there is comparable to České Budějovice SD.…”

“…While the transitions of the agricultural production systems after 1989 have already been studied intensively (Bičík and Jančák, 2005;Illner and Andrle, 1994;Jančák and Götz, 1997;Věžník and Bartošová, 2004), the changes to the utilisation of pre-1989 agricultural premises have not been of interest to researchers. Nevertheless, previous studies unequivocally show that the change of utilisation of these premises is important for a profound comprehension of the agricultural sector transition and for its effects, not only on agriculture but also on rural space (CzechInvest, 2008;Klusáček et al, 2013;Skála et al, 2013;Svobodová and Věžník, 2009).…”

“…Regarding the life of rural communities, abandonment of agricultural premises and their following decline, presents probably the most substantial change leading to the abundance of typical agricultural brownfields (Klusáček et al, 2013;Skála et al, 2013). Agricultural brownfields are defined for our purposes as buildings and their intensively managed adjacent sites that had up to 1989 utilisation for agriculture and after 1989 were abandoned, i.e.…”

The variety of post-socialist agricultural transitions in four different rural regions located in South Bohemia (Czech Republic), with respect to the utilisation of the older premises, is subject to analysis in this article. A complete database was constructed, containing the identification of agricultural premises in 1989 and their use in 2004 and 2017. From 1989 to 2004, a number of agricultural brownfields emerged, and many sites had been utilised for non-agricultural purposes. After 2004, the acreage of agricultural brownfields was reduced and new land-use utilisation for housing and, especially other non-agricultural activities, significantly increased. The transition in the utilisation of pre-1989 agricultural premises is strongly influenced by the social and economic contexts in which particular sites are located. Proximity to an upper-level regional centre is of crucial importance for decisions with respect to how (and if) the site will be reused. The peripheral location of the site also affects the level and the selection of options for the ways in which particular pre-1989 agricultural premises are used. In the case studies reported here, the marginality of particular regions is increased by their location in the border regions of outer peripheries, where the probability of the presence of agricultural brownfields and the probability of long-term abandonment of agricultural premises is higher. For the traditional developed countryside, we found a typical low level of the share of long-term agricultural brownfields. After 2004, the re-use of pre-1989 agricultural brownfields for agriculture was ascertained, which is complemented by their use for housing.

“…In comparison, in post-socialistic countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland or Romania, brownfields appeared in large quantities only after the collapse of socialism and the return to a market economy, with the restructuring of traditional industries, and following globalization trends during the last decade of the 20th century. The evolution of brownfields in post-socialist countries, their spatial distribution and functional structure are characterized by some specific factors, such as the large occurrence of agricultural brownfields resulting from the decline of socialist agricultural cooperatives (Skála et al, 2013), and military brownfields as relics of the military sector restructuring (Hercik et al, 2014). Industrial brownfields, however, are considered the most pressing problem to be resolved within the urban context (Kunc et al, 2014).…”

Factors affecting brownfield regeneration in post-socialist space: The case of the Czech Republic

et al. 2015

a b s t r a c tUsing an example of the Czech Republic, this explorative study attempts to answer the question of what factors have a significant influence on a successful regeneration of brownfields in a post-socialistic space. The study is based on a comparative analysis of two data files -the database of existing brownfields provided by the national CzechInvest agency, and the database of successfully regenerated brownfields compiled by the authors themselves. The paper consists of three interrelated parts, the first one dealing with an analysis of the structure of regenerated brownfields, the second one confronting this with the structure of the existing brownfields by means of a comparative analysis, and the third one analyzing the factors of brownfield regeneration. The main types of functional transformation of space were identified and the factors that appeared to be significant determinants of brownfields regeneration were classified as the result.

“…3 and 4) -a not very surprising fact, because during the earlier centrally planned economy there was support for very intensive agricultural production in the South Moravian Region, and a er the return of a market economy many large agricultural cooperative farms faced serious economic problems (Věžník and Konečný, 2011;Svobodová and Věžník, 2011). The advantage of post-agricultural brownfi elds is that they are located in small municipalities where there is usually no interest in a diff erent kind of regeneration, as the commercial potential of agricultural brownfi elds is usually quite low Skála et al, 2013). Also the existence of such types of brownfi elds could be perceived as a barrier to the attractiveness of municipalities for tourists (Navrátil et al, 2009(Navrátil et al, , 2012.…”

This article deals with the issue of brownfi eld redevelopment for the needs of solar energy projects from diff erent perspectives. Attention is fi rst paid to a brief characterisation of the data and information available both for brownfi elds and for solar energy projects in the Czech Republic. Then there is description from the most important results of GIS analysis, which (based on a comparison of aerial images from diff erent years) identifi ed the previous uses at the 127 solar power plants with an output of over 1 MWp in the South Moravian Region. The results of the quantitative analyses are accompanied by knowledge from a qualitative survey conducted on selected actors participating in this kind of brownfi eld regeneration for solar energy development. The conclusion contains proposals which could contribute to the more intensive future use of brownfi elds for the needs of solar energy in the Czech Republic (a similar process to what has already successfully been realised in Germany). The research results can be inspiring not only for the Czech Republic but also for other EU-member counrties where brownfi elds have not been re-used for the needs of solar energy projects or where brownfi elds have been used in this way only marginally.
