The study was initiated in 2022 with the aim of identifying and analysing the abandoned buildings in the county. The study adds to existing studies prepared for the needs of the Spatial Plan of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County from 2013, and has been expanded with additional findings and new brownfield locations, providing a comprehensive overview of the situation. This study represents a significant step towards the revitalisation of abandoned areas.
This project was implemented by the Institute for Physical Planning of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in collaboration with external experts and representatives of local governments, who nominated brownfield sites and in doing so contributed greatly to the initial collection of data.
One of the key results of the study is the Catalogue of Brownfield Sites, also published as an interactive web browser, designed for potential investors. The browser provides detailed information about each site and aims to encourage the regeneration of these areas and contribute to the sustainable development of the region.
This study and the accompanying catalogue stand out as one of the most detailed works on the topic of brownfield areas in Croatia. The web browser will be updated periodically, and further development of the study is planned in the future, with a focus on the reasons for abandonment and the possibilities of repurposing these locations.
The web browser of the Catalogue of Brownfield Locations and Study is available from today via the Geoportal of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.
