CASE of RIGA Inga Jekabsone 1, Dr.Admin.Cand .; Biruta Sloka 2, Dr.Oec., Professor; Ansis Grantins 3, Phd Student Abstract
Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference “ECONOMIC SCIENCE FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT” No 45 Jelgava, LLU ESAF, 27-28 April 2017, pp. 102-109 DEVELOPMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ACCOMPANYING ADMINISTARTIVE TERRITORIES: CASE OF RIGA Inga Jekabsone 1, Dr.admin.cand .; Biruta Sloka 2, Dr.oec., professor; Ansis Grantins 3, PhD student Abstract. An accompanying administrative territory or satellite town is a concept in urban planning that refers essentially to smaller metropolitan areas that are located somewhat near to but are mostly independent of larger metropolitan areas. Taking into account the rapid social economic development of satellite towns, which leads to the population growth in these municipalities, it is important to ensure the well-being for their citizens. The studies have proved that society well-being is directly related to the involvement of citizens in decision-making processes. In this context, it is important to ensure the management of the municipality where citizens are playing important role. Especially, it is important in satellite towns where society participation level and local patriotism is relatively low. However, the theoretical management issues of satellite towns are not analysed properly in scientific literature. Mostly researchers focus on spatial planning of these territories. The aim of the paper is to propose possible management guidance for accompanying administrative territories of Riga based on case study approach. Within this research, the analysis of scientific publications and scientific research are carried out; qualitative and quantitative research methods, including grouping, graphic analysis, expert survey, semi- structured interviews, focus group method, and case study are applied. The main results and conclusions of the paper: based on the designed methodology on identification of accompanying administrative territories, 25 accompanying administrative territories around Riga were determined. -
