- Abstract
- The objective of this paper was to establish a complete evaluation index system on brownfield redevelopment, a case study of the Former Huishan Pesticide Factory in Wuxi City, China. In this paper, we used the Extreme Condition Method, the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method and the AHP. Land suitability evaluation index system was successfully developed based on concentrations of soil pollutants considering the human health. The index system may be reused for residential, entertaining, commercial and industrial sites from the perspective of ecological, social and economic conditions. Results showed that the Former Huishan Pesticide Factory Brownfield could turn into residential sites, commercial sites and entertaining sites, which was entirely consistent with the actual planning. To carry out a rational and efficient layout, we advised the Former Huishan Pesticide Factory Brownfield to be turned into residential sites and commercial sites first and then entertaining sites. Besides, remediation methods could be adjusted according to the planning of land use in order to achieve the maximum benefits. The conclusion was that the suitability evaluation of brownfield redevelopment throughcombining the Land Suitability Class with the Construction Land Suitability Class was viable and effective.
