    Gunta Lukstiņa (2018). Landscape of the Resort City of Jurmala: From Fishing Villages to Planned Urbanization. Acta architecturae naturalis, 4, 33-50. Published: 2018-12-20 ISSN 2228-1320 (print), ISSN 2613-7399 (online) Landscape of the Resort City of Jurmala: From Fishing Villages to Planned Urbanization Gunta Lukstiņa University of Latvia, Jelgavas str. 1, Riga, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] This article is submitted for the EFLA Regional Congress “Mind the Gap. Landscapes for a New Era” in Tallinn Nov 2-4, 2011. Copyright © 2011 by Lukstiņa. Abstract The article outlines the historic landscape development stages in the resort city of Jurmala, Latvia starting from the fishing villages of the 18th century up to modern times. The article indicates landscape changes today in the City of Jurmala and discusses planned solutions leading to increased urbanization, which in the future could create a considerably different city landscape, and which have alarmed city planners and the residents of Jurmala. Keywords Jurmala City landscape, pine “forest park”, bathing places, city structure, urbanization Introduction The City of Jurmala has developed on a narrow strip of land between the Gulf of Riga and Lielupe River. The more than 30-km-long, but narrow, peninsula lying between the river and the sea is a very fragile formation of wind-blown sand. It has significant heritage value in terms of nature, culture and history, as human activity from various periods has left its traces in the city’s landscape. In the 19th century, Jurmala developed as a recreation and bathing destination for the urban population.

  • Management Plan of Kemeri National Park 2002-2010
    MANAGEMENT PLAN OF KEMERI NATIONAL PARK 2002-2010 This Management Plan begins with a long-term view of Kemeri National Park, looking beyond the eight year time horizon of this Plan. It offers a vision of the future that all can share and work together to strive towards. Vision of Kemeri National Park The territory of Kemeri National Park (NP) is characterised by a large diversity of ecosystems, species and habitats. The representative coastal landscape has old pine forests and non-built up dunes, inland there are shallow lagoon lakes with clean, clear water and large colonies of breeding birds that are able to feed and rest without the risk of being hunted. Varied broadleaf forests with the natural density of dead trees provide ideal conditions for rare lichens, fungi, plants, invertebrates and birds (including every woodpecker species recorded in Latvia). Raised bogs are an open landscape of pools and moss interrupted by islands of mineral soil. Natural meadows provide habitat for corncrakes, great snipes and other birds. The agricultural lands within the park territory are being managed using environmentally friendly methods. People visit the National Park both on foot and by bicycles, using the network of trails. There is also the possibility to watch birds and other wildlife, to go fishing, boating and to enjoy both present-day and ancient curative methods using the locally available sulphurous mineral water and medical mud and to get detailed information about the territory of the park and nature protection. Nature tourism is developed by encouraging locals, businessmen and municipalities to offer quality services and varied relaxation possibilities aiming to ensure the economical stability of the territory by giving extra income both to the budget of the National Park Administration and to local people.
