| Abstract |
Due to climate change and its effects, it becomes indispensable to maximise the use of rainwater in cities. In order to effectively carry out this process in cities, it is essential to organise information and knowledge, and plan an appropriate action strategy. It is necessary to identify not only the strengths and opportunities for introducing solutions to collect and use rainwater in cities, but also the weaknesses and threats. The article presents a SWOT analysis (Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats) for the use of rainwater in the city, compiling comprehensive information and knowledge on this topic. Environmental, social and economic aspects have been taken into account. On its basis, the possibilities, as well as problems, barriers and limitations in the field of introducing the use of rainwater into the fabric of the cities of the future were discussed. The greatest challenges in this area were also identified, providing a basis for further planning of activities. |
