Figure 2: Possible ecoremediations in industrial zaone (rain garden,vegetation barier)All these ecoremediation methods have a special aestheticfunction, as they can be created within established public green areasand thereby they can obtain a specific social function, because weknow that green space has a beneficial effect on human physical andmental well-being.SUMMARYIndustrial areas are anthropogenic ecosystems, which the manhas changed for his benefit. The industry has a negative impact onthe environment with the different ways of polluting. The mostcommon problems of these areas are contaminated soils with heavymetals that are dangerous to humans, increased levels of noise anddust in the air and visually degraded environment, where theminimum potential for the development is estimated. These areas arebiological poor and self-cleaning capacity is minimal. From theecological point of view, these areas are important, because with therevitalization of the natural systems, the degradation of the area canbe reduced and the self-cleaning ability of ecosystems can beincreased. The result of revitalization is the increase of theevolutionary potential of the area. Effective revitalization of theindustrial areas can be achieved with ecoremediations that reduce theimpacts of land degradation, increase the biodiversity of the area and~ 322 ~
