Short description: |
The Megasite Management Toolsuite MMT is a software tool for consultants, authorities, and investors involved in the planning and assessment of revitalization options for brownfields.
An impartial integrated assessment of possible alternatives for redeveloping a site shall help to design sustainable and economically attractive options in order to maximize benefits from the existing planning scope. MMT results will facilitate a common approach and agreement among all stakeholders.
The MMT unites and coherently links several software modules:
¡a GIS-based data management module
¡a graphical user interface (GUI) providing control of all input data and graphing capabilities for analysis of results
¡a planning module to create land use plans
¡a module to locate and quantify conflicts of environmental targets of planned land use with existing contamination in soil and groundwater
¡an integrated assessment module.
Software sub modules offer
¡a number of cost models which provide sufficient flexibility to estimate remediation and site preparation costs work at various levels of details incl. early screening of expected costs based on only a basic set of input data
¡a market value assessment model which involves a new and transparent method to include perceived risks of market participants due to apprehended uncertain costs in regard with (previous) contamination into the appraisal
¡a sustainability assessment model based on the abstract notion that sustainability has to be rendered operational for being adapted to a specific local situation. This model supports users in developing a case-specific set of criteria for sustainable development to compare different land use option.
