Abstract

Due to increased environmental awareness and pressures from governmental policies, sustainable techniques are increasingly being employed for the reclamation and re-development of contaminated land. Addressing the complex issues involved in such a process requires knowledge from a number of multi-disciplinary fields. There are currently some Decision Support Systems (DSS) and tools available for this, but most have limitations - especially with the incorporation of sustainability appraisal. This paper proposes a framework for a multi-disciplinary DSS as a computer-based IT system for contaminated land management, based on current UK legislation. The proposed framework is theoretically explained with a real-life landfill case study and looks into the application of this framework within the UK regime. Copyright ASCE 2008.
