Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan forladte og forurenede arealer (brownfields) kan omdannes mere effektivt i Spanien, hvor der mangler en fælles begrebsramme, standarder og et klart juridisk grundlag, og hvor forvaltningen er spredt på regionerne. Formålet er at identificere succesfaktorer for genudvikling ved hjælp af en overvejende kvalitativ, komparativ analyse af tre cases med forskellige forløb: Bugten ved Portmán (Murcia), et langvarigt og uløst storstilet projekt; sammenløbet af floderne Tinto og Odiel nær Huelva (Andalusien), hvor et restaureringsprogram er godkendt efter pres fra miljø- og borgergrupper; og Nalón-dalen (Asturien), hvor der er gennemført omfattende miljø- og landskabsgenopretning i et tidligere minedistrikt. Specialet opstiller et konceptuelt og analytisk rammeværk, kortlægger den europæiske og spanske kontekst, og sammenholder cases for at afdække konvergenser og divergenser i drivkræfter, barrierer, interessentinteraktioner, politisk vilje samt hensyn til natur- og kulturarv. Datagrundlaget omfatter litteratur og reguleringsgennemgang samt interviews med fagpersoner. Målet er at udlede praktisk anvendelige succesfaktorer og pege på, hvordan de kan understøtte fremtidige projekter i retning af bæredygtig arealforvaltning; de konkrete resultater præsenteres i specialets senere kapitler og fremgår ikke af det medfølgende uddrag.

This thesis explores how abandoned and contaminated sites (brownfields) can be more effectively redeveloped in Spain, a context marked by the absence of a shared definition, standards, and a clear legal framework, alongside regionally fragmented responsibilities. The aim is to identify success factors for redevelopment through a primarily qualitative, comparative analysis of three cases at different stages: the Bay of Portmán (Murcia), a large-scale, unresolved case spanning more than three decades; the confluence of the Tinto and Odiel rivers near Huelva (Andalusia), where a restoration plan has been approved following pressure from environmental and civic groups; and the Nalón Valley (Asturias), where substantial environmental and landscape restoration has been carried out in a former mining region. The study builds a conceptual and analytical framework, maps the European and Spanish context, and compares cases to reveal convergences and divergences in drivers, barriers, stakeholder interactions, political will, and attention to natural and cultural heritage. Evidence includes literature and regulatory review as well as interviews with specialists. The goal is to distill actionable success factors and indicate how they can inform future projects aligned with sustainable land management; specific findings are detailed in later chapters and are not included in the provided excerpt.
