| Learning Outcome: | The anthropogenic influence on the environment is very high and locally concentrated all over urbanized areas in the world today. This influence of byproducts, waste etc. is still increasing as new areas are needed for different uses. At the same time there are many abandoned sites that are not in use and where there are mostly no options for a use. It is desirable to take such old sites for new uses instead of consuming fresh land. In this module, students will learn how to evaluate brownfields and other anthropogenically influenced sites including buildings and sub-surface facilities concerning their values, the risks going out from them for men, biotic and abiotic protective goods and valuable real assets, and the possibilities of their conversion for new uses. Issues and targets of the reclamation of mining areas are discussed. Case studies of the Lusatian region should demonstrate the capability of restoration of soil functions and other environmental compartments. |
| Contents: | Part Site Investigation and Remediation Different types of anthropogenically influenced sites are presented and their characteristics explained. Possible risks emerging from the sites are discussed. It is shown how these risks can be evaluated by different methods of investigation including historical research, geophysics, remote sensing, sampling, and analytics and how they can be minimized. Possible remediation technologies for contaminated soil and other material are presented. The relation between the necessary and adequate steps of investigation/securing/remediation and the planned afteruse is made clear. The most important legal grounds for the presented activities are explained as well as questions of work safety. Part Soil Reclamation Technologies The effect of coal mining activities on landscape is shown and classified as an anthropogenic soil and ecosystem degradation. Measurements of remediation are presented including soil amendments, physical and chemical soil amelioration and phytoremediation. Part Structural Recycling The awareness for the environment and its manipulation will lead to further intensive utilisation of buildings including the management of those. The appreciation and preservation of buildings and structural facilities as well as the circuitry of edificial products and materials are located in the focus. Exemplarily possibilities and solutions are pointed out, on how material-bound energy contents received can be sustained and/or used optimally. Under the point of view of "sustainable development" and the simultaneous consideration of ecological, economic and social aspects respectively, innovative developments regarding the reconstruction, modernization, change, deconstruction/demolition of buildings up to the disposal of building wastes are pointed out, discussed and evaluated. Thereby the multilayered and specialized spreading criteria, which require future acting of a modern society, are considered. Part Urban Planning The meaning of technical infrastructures increases with the development and revitalization of settlement surfaces to a large extent. The possibilities of the later use are brought up for discussion by existing infrastructures, just as the adjustment to new location requirements with the reactivation and/or conversion of fallow lands in the city as well as generally the adjustment to shrinking and increasing demand at infrastructure achievements. In this sense all supply areas of the city - technical infrastructure, like water, waste water, long-distance heating, electricity and gas - are addressed. |
