In the 21st century, rural communities face many challenges, including implications of dynamic population aging, a lack of social care services, and the occurrence of abandoned post-agricultural brownfields. This paper is methodologically based on the findings derived from a set of qualitative in-depth interviews with the key rural stakeholders, explores the decisive factors and limits, accelerators, and barriers governing successful regeneration of the post-agricultural brownfield in the post-socialist environment. We are using the case of the regeneration project of a large-scale former communist agricultural cooperative, located in Vranovice, the Czech Republic, to illuminate how complex and challenging the redevelopment of a post-agricultural brownfield into a social care facility for elderly people is. A wide agreement among the experts in the field of community development exists that this regeneration project can serve as a model example for other rural municipalities that are sharing similar local development issues. Our findings illustrate how important and challenging at the same time are the matters of good governance, the active and long-term participation of stakeholders in the regeneration project, and the real-life introduction of the public-private partnership concept, particularly in immensely transforming the post-socialist countryside.
在 21 世纪，农村社区面临着许多挑战，包括人口老龄化的影响、缺乏社会关怀服务以及废弃的后农业棕地的出现。本文基于对关键农村利益相关者的一系列定性深入访谈的结果，探讨了决定因素和限制因素、促进因素以及障碍因素，以成功实现后社会主义环境中后农业棕地的再生。我们以位于捷克共和国弗拉诺夫采的一个大型前共产主义农业合作社的再生项目为例，阐明了将后农业棕地重新开发为老年人社会关怀设施是多么复杂和具有挑战性。社区发展领域的专家广泛认为，这个再生项目可以作为其他面临类似地方发展问题的农村自治市的模范范例。我们的研究结果表明，良好治理、利益相关者在再生项目中的积极和长期参与以及公私伙伴关系概念的实际引入等问题是多么重要和具有挑战性，尤其是在后社会主义农村地区的巨大转型中。
