Abstract

The forced industrialisation of cities resulted in the construction of giant sites in outlying areas. December 1989 triggered the decline of industrial activities, wich could not be sustained any longer. Gradually, industrial halls have been abandoned, turning into ghosts of past glory, „black spots that visually pollute the city’s image. The article highlitghts the tendency of these abandoned spaces to become true functional barriers. Occupying large spaces, the former industrial units are a barrier to communication (moving obstacle) and for the development of certain areas. Perceveid as dangerous places, with a low security level, the problem of abandoned areas would be a subject for the terriorial marketing strategies. in this regard, putting into value the results of a field survey, the article studies the perception of the urban brownfields, applied for Ia?i as a case study.
