  • Interaction Between the Number of Visitors at Tourist Accommodation Establishments and the Economic Development in Latvia
    Economics and Rural Development Vol. 8, No. 1, 2012 ISSN 1822-3346 INTERACTION BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF VISITORS AT TOURIST ACCOMMODATION ESTABLISHMENTS AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN LATVIA Aina Muska1, Ligita Bite2 Latvia University of Agriculture, Latvia The research hypothesis: the economic development of a district affects the number of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments outside Riga region. The research aim is to identify a correlation between the number of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments and the economic development of a district in Latvia. The research was done using data broken down by statistical region and districts (a unit of administrative division of the territory of Latvia until the middle of 2009). The research showed that the majority (more than 60%) of visitors at Latvian tourist accommodation establishments were foreign tourists whose share at Riga tourist accommodation establishments accounted for more than 70%. Outside Riga region, more than 70% of visitors were local (Latvian) tourists, mostly business tourists. In the research period, more than half of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments concentrated in Riga region, while more than 10% – in Pieriga and Kurzeme regions. The share of visitors in the other regions did not exceed 6% of their total number. According to a cluster analysis, an explicit trend of monocentric economic development is specific to Latvia, resulting in significant differences between Riga, the capital city of Latvia, and the other districts of Latvia. The number of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments is higher in the clusters having a high (Riga) and medium (districts of Riga, Liepaja, Ventspils, and Daugavpils) level of economic development than in the clusters with a lower level of economic development (districts of Aluksne, Balvi, Dobele, Gulbene, Kraslava, Ludza, Preili, and Valka).

  • 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.
