How is TIMBRE Web-based Prioritization Tool structured

The Prioritization Tool, which is based on  the prioritisation methodology (for details see Frantál et al 2012 and Klusáček et al 2013), leads the end-users in prioritisation process in six logical steps: Home, Project settings, Input data, Normalisation, Weighting and Results (Figure 1)  that allow to classify and prioritize the concrete brownfields database according to end-users’ needs. The end-users can benefit from user friendly functionalities and interfaces of the web-based Prioritization Tool.

The TIMBRE Prioritization Tool, as explained above, shows the results of the prioritisation process in the form tables (see Fig. 1), which is possible to download as an Excel file, and the results are presented in the form of the user-friendly Google Maps (for example Fig. 2), where is possible to see the detailed aerial images of the concrete brownfields sites (for example Fig. 3) and photos of the concrete brownfields sites (for example Fig. 4)  available by means of function Google Street View (if the function is available).

How the TIMBRE Web-based Prioritization Tool is available

Only registered users can access the TIMBRE Web-based Prioritization Tool. To register it is necessary to go to the webpage http://www.dais.unive.it/~timbre/PrioritizationTool/ , and click on “Sign up” to create a new account.

For accessing the TIMBRE Web-based Prioritization Tool as registered user, it is necessary to go on the same webpage http://www.dais.unive.it/~timbre/PrioritizationTool/  and to log in with the email and password.

Updating / maintenance

TIMBRE partners spontaneously agreed to finalize the TIMBRE Web-based Prioritization Tool (for example addition of the information to the help boxes) by the end of TIMBRE project.  The TIMBRE Web-based Prioritization Tool will be maintained by the developers (UNIVE research team), since the tool is stored in the UNIVE server, at this moment without temporal restrictions.

TIMBRE European Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields

What TIMBRE European Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields offers

The European Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields contains sample of passports of fully or almost fully regenerated brownfields, covering regenerated sites in selected EU member states. It allows browsing, searching and filtering selected brownfields and offers information about the original and current use of the sites, their sizes and state of contamination as well as on regeneration costs and success factors. It provides contact to stakeholders, localization via Google maps and pictures before and after the regeneration. In this way, the Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields aims to inspire owners, developers, stakeholders and decision makers to find new ways to approach non-regenerated sites and to help identify the main factors which may affect the success of potential regeneration processes.

How is TIMBRE European Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields structured

The European Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields is based on passports of the fully or almost fully regenerated brownfields, which were collected during TIMBRE project. Passports have the same stucture and bring information in form of text (for example Fig. 1) about localisation, the original and current use of the sites, main factors of redevelopment process, or in form of images - localisation Via Google maps (Fig. 2) or photos of sites (Fig.3).

How the The European Dataroom of Regenerated Brownfields is available

There will be free access from Timbre website http://www.timbre-project.eu/
