Possibilities of Mathematical Modeling Utilization in Brownfield Regeneration Efficiency Assessment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Brownfields areas are one of the biggest problems of contemporary communities. These are old abandoned structures without adequate use and they cause many social, economical, environmental, medical and urban problems. So, it is possible to say, that brownfields are a very topical issue and its solution is fully in compliance with the principles of sustainable development. It is obvious, that brownfield regeneration and the above problems elimination have a significant positive impact on overall development of former brownfield site and its surroundings. So, a possibility of a forecast of this development based on mathematical model tools offers. Modified Dynamic Model (MDM) is one of these tools. This paper describes the possibilities of locality development modelling in the case of brownfield regeneration in the MDM environment. All these possibilities are shown on a practical example of chosen Czech brownfield for better understanding.
