Abstract
The process of regeneration of abandoned areas or deteriorated structures in the cities of Romania has become a strategy of urban-integrated development. Conversions and/or regeneration of facilities in the form of assets, with different destinations, are part of the new trend of urban regeneration and a strategy used to attract investment capital. The disappearance of mining industry sites in Maramures County, Romania, has allowed the expansion and planning of new spaces for public use and/or semipublic, and most cities have opened new development perspectives. The study is based on empirical research conducted on the brownfields of Baia-Mare City. This research investigates how stakeholders of an urban regeneration project can be more actively involved in the decision-making processes with regard to the strategic elements of the renewal project of Cuprom, as a former mining industry area. This research contributes to the development of the investigation of new types of knowledge of stakeholder analysis and improves the available practices for stakeholder salience. Social networks created and consolidated by stakeholders of an urban regeneration project are the object of analysis, evaluation, and monitoring of the equilibrium between project management and grant of resources and capital. This paper studies the salience of stakeholders of the SEPA-CUPROM project from Baia-Mare using the social networking approach. Visualization by graphical methods of social networking analysis is a useful instrument in the decision-making process of brownfield projects as part of sustainable strategies in Romania.
Highlights
In most urban regeneration projects, beginning with the design phase and continuing into implementation, several urgent modifications of an action plan might occur, and the influence of stakeholders on the results of the project can be high.In recent times several significant renewal projects have been successfully implemented (Table 1)
The gap of stakeholder management is excellently emphasized in another paper [2], where authors present an integrated analysis of the deficiencies of stakeholder management, highlighted through ample identification, grouping, and interpretation of information contained in the works studied in specialized literature
Numerous papers [10,11,12] in the current urban practice and literature discuss urban regeneration, which is seen as an action that leads to solving urban problems and finding long-term improvements for economic, physical, social, and environmental objectives in an area that needs to be changed [8,13]
Summary
In most urban regeneration projects, beginning with the design phase and continuing into implementation, several urgent modifications of an action plan might occur, and the influence of stakeholders on the results of the project can be high. Some authors [14] note there is currently progressive reorientation of the construction sector from making new buildings to reusing existing buildings—many of them abandoned and in an advanced state of degradation This phenomenon [11,15] is due to complex social, economic, psychological, and aesthetic reasons, of which the most important are: The need to stop development of cities by expanding urban limits [12]. Conservation and conversion of historical particularities as social, economic, and cultural assets are part of the new trend of urban regeneration as well as strategies meant to attract capital
