Abstract

As it is well known fact the sociocultural aspects are significance factors in the up-to-date brownfield developments. In those countries (US, Canada, Great Britain, Germany) where the culture of brownfield developments means a sophisticated and complex strategy of general improvements – including economical, ecological and sociocultural goals – is unimaginable that the local human background of brownfield investments wouldn’t have been calculated at all. In the paper on the basis of literature there are some of the key aspects of sociocultural dimensions in the brownfield developments.
