Abstract: Mine waste hills, in other words mine tailings, especially heavy metal accumulated ones are the subject of environmental problems and pending questions for local communities and administrations. In order to find a sustainable solution for the problems and gain these problematic areas back, new functions have to be brought out for them, but initially environmental risks have to be reduced or eliminated. Traditional solutions used in mining areas such as excavation and backfilling works are not feasible and appropriate because of the high amount of pollutants and the big volume of polluted soil of mine tailings. Therefore some negative effects of former mining activities can be minimized by creating a native vegetation cover which can also serve in the process of metal immobilization, called phytostabilization. This study explores how an optimal landscape design can be developed for a mine tailing by considering the process of phytostabilization as a reclamation tech!
nique, and how reclamation efforts can be integrated in the landscape design by taking into account not only the scientific considerations and also cultural and human aspects.
Keywords: Landscape design, Mine tailing, Phytostabilization, Landscape reclamation, Sustainability, Heavy metal.
