本研究はルーマニアにおける20世紀の鉄筋コンクリート製穀物サイロの初の体系的なインベントリを提示し、130地点で201基のサイロを特定・分析した。サイロの空間分布、建設特性、現状を評価し、適応的再利用によるライフサイクル延長と低炭素管理の可能性を示す。この枠組みは国際的な農工業遺産の持続可能な管理に応用可能である。
English
This study presents the first systematic inventory of Romania's 20th-century reinforced-concrete grain silos, identifying and analyzing 201 silos across 130 locations. It assesses their spatial distribution, construction characteristics, and current condition, highlighting significant potential for adaptive reuse to extend life cycles and reduce carbon emissions. The methodological framework is transferable to sustainable management of agro-industrial heritage globally.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では高度成長期に建設されたコンクリート構造物の更新時期を迎えており、本論文で示された適応的再利用の評価枠組みは、国内の産業遺産や建築ストックの低炭素管理に示唆を与える。また、エンボディドカーボンの観点から既存ストックの活用はGX戦略の重要な要素であり、日本の建設分野の脱炭素化にも貢献しうる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on embodied carbon and circular economy in the built environment, offering a transferable framework for assessing adaptive reuse potential of large-scale industrial heritage. It provides empirical evidence and a replicable methodology that can inform low-carbon urban planning and heritage management policies worldwide, aligning with ISSB, CSRD, and other sustainability reporting standards that emphasize life-cycle thinking.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers a replicable methodological framework for assessing adaptive reuse potential of concrete silos, contributing to the literature on embodied carbon and circular economy in heritage management.
🏢実務担当者:Municipal planners and building owners can use the inventory and assessment criteria to evaluate whether to preserve, retrofit, or demolish concrete silos, reducing carbon footprints.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can integrate the adaptive reuse framework into low-carbon building regulations and heritage protection laws to promote sustainable management of industrial structures.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Industrial grain silos built in reinforced concrete during the twentieth century constitute an important yet often overlooked component of industrial heritage worldwide and represent significant reservoir of embodied materials and carbon within the built environment. In the context of sustainability, circular economy strategies, and low-carbon development, their preservation and adaptive reuse are increasingly considered potential alternatives to demolition and new construction. This study presents the first systematic inventory and analysis of Romania’s twentieth-century reinforced-concrete grain silo network, based on archival research and extensive fieldwork conducted across 130 locations, where 201 silos were identified and analysed. This research study examines their spatial distribution, typologies, construction characteristics, technological facilities, and current condition in order to assess their heritage value and reuse potential. The results show that most silos were constructed between 1930 and 1990, strategically located near transport networks and high-productivity agricultural regions. While a large proportion remains operational, others are progressively affected by obsolescence and abandonment. Their robust reinforced-concrete structures, large storage capacities, and strategic locations suggest significant potential for life cycle extension and adaptive reuse. This study provides a transferable methodological framework for the sustainable management of large-scale agro-industrial heritage in comparable international contexts.
