Abandoned places make good settings for fiction. Normally seen in fiction that evokes horror, the concept of a place just being ''abandoned'' makes an unnerving feeling in the viewer. It also creates suspense and increases the surprise when it turns out that the place isn't really abandoned. The use of abandoned places as an aesthetic aid, as it normally is, often overlaps with SceneryGorn. Depending on the state of the location, it may give a [[JustifiedTrope justified example]] of NoOSHACompliance, because, really, would you be bothered with health and safety in somewhere you've abandoned?

Added DiffLines:

* [[http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/research.html Haikyo refer to "ruins" in Japanese]], specifically, ruins and abandonments from the modern era. Some of the haikyo are a relic of the Japanese Economic Bubble, which, during the 1980s, led to an era of growth, and companies expanded and built in the hopes of capitalising on the profit, but since the bubble burst, the financial strains of these projects meant that they were no longer viable. Demolishing these facilities were also costly, so they are just left behind to be reclaimed by mother nature. There are other haikyo in Japan arising from the end of a mining era; once newer resources and mechanisms were developed, the need for older mines and factories disappeared. 'Haikyoing' is the act of exploring these old ruins, and is something of a popular hobby in Japan, although as with most urban exploration endeavors, a degree of risk is present, whether it be laws, structural stability and the like.
