摘要

The closure of mining operations presents companies such as Styromag with the challenge of not only rehabilitating former mining sites in accordance with legal requirements but also transforming them into long-term assets for regional development. Within the scope of this research, a site-specific multi-criteria assessment system was developed to enable the structured evaluation of 115 post-mining options. The results of the site assessments for two sites, Wald am Schoberpass and Angerer, demonstrate that former mining areas can be sustainably enhanced through innovative concepts that extend far beyond conventional reclamation practices. While a biodiversity-focused restoration concept incorporating biotopes and climate-resilient forestry was identified as the most suitable option for Wald am Schoberpass, the use of mine water as a fire-fighting water reservoir to strengthen regional supply security proved to be the optimal solution for the Angerer site. As a conceptual planning tool, the developed model provides a sound decision-making basis for the further refinement of the selected options and the assessment of potential synergies within a subsequent feasibility study.
