Publiclyaccessible data sources on man-made land forms, land use, brownfields, mined sites,contaminated sites, industrial architectural heritage, etc. were used with GIS technology.The outline, area, content and topic description are essential for decision making aboutPIL future. The generic classes of PIL were assessed from the viewpoint of their possibleimpact on human life and activities. Preliminary management proposals were developed.
