Determinants of Green Regeneration of Industrial Brownfield under Ecological Security Constraints: Model and Empirical Analysis Based on Grounded Theory

Green regeneration of industrial brownfields (GRIB) is an inevitable choice under the collision of industrial structure adjustment and ecological civilization construction. Due to vegetation destruction and industrial pollution, the integrity and health of the ecosystem in the industrial brownfield have been destroyed and ecological security has become a primary factor in restricting GRIB. In order to explore the impact mechanism of GRIB under ecological security constraints, based on the original data obtained from in-depth interviews with 21 professionals, this study examines the applicability of DPSIR model in GRIB by using the grounded theory method to sort the determinants and explore the impact mechanism of GRIB under ecological security constraints from five dimensions: driving forces (incentive factor), pressure (external factor), state (internal factor), influence (produced comprehensive result), and response (substantive response of human society). Suggestions are made to strengthen the investigation and remediation of environmental pollution in industrial brownfield, cultivate the concept and awareness of green regeneration, and formulate incentive policies. The research conclusions effectively improve the problems existing in the reconstruction of industrial brownfield as well as provide a theoretical basis and targeted reference for the promotion of GRIB.
