    PROCEEDINGS OF THE LATVIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. Section B, Vol. 70 (2016), No. 2 (701), pp. 78–87. DOI: 10.1515/prolas-2016-0013 LONG-TERM CHANGES IN THE WATER TEMPERATURE OF RIVERS IN LATVIA Inese Latkovska1,2 # and Elga Apsîte1 1 Faculty of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of Latvia, Jelgavas iela 1, Rîga LV-1004, LATVIA, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Latvian Environment, Geology, and Meteorology Centre, Maskavas iela 165, Rîga LV-1019, LATVIA # Corresponding author Communicated by Mâris Kïaviòð The study describes the trends of monthly mean water temperature (from May to October) and the annual maximum water temperature of the rivers in Latvia during the time period from 1945 to 2000. The results demonstrated that the mean water temperatures during the monitoring period from May to October were higher in the largest rivers (from 13.6 oC to 16.1 oC) compared to those in the smallest rivers (from 11.5 oC to 15.7 oC). Similar patterns were seen for the maxi- mum water temperature: in large rivers from 22.9 oC to 25.7 oC, and in small rivers from 20.8 oC to 25.8 oC. Generally, lower water temperatures occurred in rivers with a high groundwater inflow rate, for example, in rivers of the Gauja basin, in particular, in the Amata River. Mann-Kendall test results demonstrated that during the monitoring period from May to October, mean water tem- peratures had a positive trend. However, the annual maximum temperature had a negative trend. Key words: water temperature, long-term changes, river, Latvia.

    ENG ARCHITECTURE AND ART IN VALMIERA GUIDEBOOK INTRODUCTION Valmiera is one of the oldest cities in Latvia. From 14th to 16th century it was a member of the Hanseatic League, from 18th to 20th century – a regional centre; and during the second half of the 20th century – a district centre. In 1702 the city was completely destroyed by the Russian army. During 1770s it was severely damaged by several res. At the dusk of the World War II, in September 1944, almost whole historical centre of Valmiera completely burnt down. Only few buildings remained intact – the Valmiera St. Simon’s Church, the medieval castle ruins and the building complex of the Valmiera Museum. Within the last 20 years a lot has been done to preserve the remaining historical heritage. The peculiar image of the city is also shaped by sculptures and environmental objects, particularly ones connected with the works of the famous sculptor and initiator of the stone sculpture symposium Andris Vārpa. This guidebook hopes to make the reader stop and have a look at the testimonies of their time, appreciate and evaluate ideas and opportunities, taste and aspirations of representation of the time, when all this was made.

For many years it served as the symbol of Valmiera, until a new logo was elaborated. In June 2015 it was moved next to the Vidzeme Olympic Centre, symbolizing gates to Valmiera and welcoming all arriving guests.

  • 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).
