Abstract In this paper the authors attempt to answer question of which location and site-specific factors have a decisive influence on successful regeneration brownfields. Using data from South Moravian Region (Czech Republic), we analyze spatial functional distribution brownfields, test correlation between development potential municipalities brownfields that already been regenerated.

Considering unpredictable and hastily evolving tipping points (like the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing climate crisis war in Ukraine), it is clear that sustainable energy transition utilization locally sourced renewable energies must be heart both national, regional, local systems. However, if we take a closer look at actions undertaken (communal) level, see enormous diversity patterns, prerequisites, implications drive affect spatial deployment energies. Therefore, our research...
