Brownfields can occur as a barrier and obstacle to the development of the urban
organism but simultaneously they also represent unrealised potential. Brownfields, ex-industrial sites,
are greater in those cities whose development was based on heavy industry or mining. In the first part of
this paper theoretical concepts linked to the regeneration of brownfields are discussed, the second part is
devoted to a case study of Karvina, in the Czech Republic, where the driving forces behind the occurrence
of brownfields, their spatial distribution, and their prospects for regeneration are analysed. It was found
that 28 brownfield sites on 121 ha are located in surveyed city with the majority having industrial and
mining origins. Majority of local brownfields are owned by a local mining company. The perception of
individual sites by the local population was ascertained via a questionnaire survey (n ¼ 150). This found
that awareness about problems connected to brownfields is quite limited and that local population
perceive post-mining brownfields, located in more distant locations, as an opportunity for new industries
to create job opportunities in city with significant unemployment problems.Workplace Institute of Geonics Contact Lucie Gurková, lucie.gurkova@ugn.cas.cz, Tel.: 596 979 354 Year of Publishing 2017 Electronic address http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095965261600055X
