Environmental Economics
The terminology of degraded areas is not uniform in Latvia and in the world at the moment - it is in the process of development and formulation. Some urban spatial plans also use the terms "abandoned sites" and "disordered sites". They are marked as territories where previous economic activity has been carried out, which is currently in force, but the involvement of these territories as functioning elements (especially - settlements) in the structure, their "return to life" is essential for the development of the municipality. Spatial plans often do not provide detailed information on the cause of degradation, but the list of degraded areas mostly includes unrecovered mining quarries, unused areas of former collective farm centers and livestock farms, as well as former industrial areas. Analyzing the degraded area definition, which has been developed and adapted in Latvia and the territory together with the wording of the definitions of other countries, it must be concluded that they are significantly different in different countries. Therefore, it is necessary to study the definitions of degraded area and develop a definition suitable for the current situation in Latvia, as well as to provide recommendations to local governments in the development of planning documents. In the article author use qualitative research methods - content analysis and analysis of theoretical literature, which gives an opportunity to analyze the definitions of degraded area different countries, regulatory framework, municipal development planning documents and theoretical findings on the need to include degraded area in economic circulation.
