Description

Abstract. The objective of the present study case is to demonstrate that the geographical landscape affected by the uraniferous mining activities can be recovered in the benefit of the touristic activity, of the biodiversity conservation, as well as historical and cultural patrimony preservation. In order to reorganize the post-mining geographical space by enhancing the balance between economic activities and environmental protection a solution with positive long-term effects is suggested and discussed in the paper.
