Spatial Unevenness of Formation, Remediation and Persistence of Post-Agricultural Brownfields

The fall of the Iron Curtain created a vacuum upon which large-scale collectivized agriculture was largely abandoned. Post-agricultural brownfields emerge in multiple manners across national, regional and local levels. While these sites remain rarely explored, we aimed to better understand spatial consequences formation, persistence reuse sites. regions South Bohemia Moravia Czech Republic are used show location post-agricultural identified 2004 through 2018. Using Global Moran’s I test have found that existing 2004, long-term 2018 established between spatially clustered, but remediated not. Next, Anselin’s Local where clusters exist. were examined for differences their social, economic environmental development by means logistic regression. results initially concentrated with lower quality agricultural land while simultaneously located hinterlands urban centers. In contrast, peripheral most often contained brownfields. Brownfield after occurred higher corn usually grows.
