Toimepiirkonnad Viljandi Maakonnas
TOIMEPIIRKONNAD VILJANDI MAAKONNAS Siseministeeriumi dokumendi „Juhend toimepiirkondade käsitlemiseks maakonnaplaneeringutes“ järgi JÄRELDUSED Mihkel Servinski Viljandi, 2014 1 ÜLESANNE Koostada Siseministeeriumi juhendi „Juhend toimepiirkondade käsitlemiseks maakonnaplaneeringutes“ (edaspidi Juhend) alusel ülevaade Viljandi maakonna võimalikest toimepiirkondadest ja tugi-toimepiirkondadest, võimalikest erinevate tasandite tõmbekeskustest ja määrata toimepiirkondade tsoonide geograafiline ulatud. JÄRELDUSED. Eestis on täna ühetasandiline kohaliku omavalitsuse süsteem. Kas Eesti jätkab ühe tasandilise kohaliku omavalitsussüsteemiga või mitte, on poliitiliste valikute küsimus ja sõltub sellest, milliste eesmärkide täitmist kohalikult omavalitsuselt oodatakse. Linnavalitsuste ja vallamajade asukoht ning neis lahendatavad ülesanded on Eesti arengu oluline teema, kuid kohaliku omavalitsuse süsteem on siiski vahend millegi saavutamiseks, mitte peamine strateegiline eesmärk. Sellest lähtuvalt võib öelda, et Raportis lahendatavate ülesannete seisukohalt on suhteliselt ükskõik, kus linnavalitsuse hoone või vallamaja paiknevad: kohaliku omavalitsuse teenus on üks paljudest avalikest teenustest ning sugugi mitte kõige elutähtsam. Eestis eksisteerib täna reaalselt mitmetasandiline tõmbekeskuste süsteem. Ei ole mingit võimalust, et Eesti muutuks ühetasandilise tõmbekeskuste süsteemiga riigiks või ühe tõmbekeskusega riigiks. Juhendi peamine vastuolu tekib sellest, et kui formaalselt käsitletakse Eestit mitmetasandilise tõmbekeskuste süsteemina, siis -

REGIONAL and LOCAL DEVELOPMENT in TIMES of POLARISATION Re-Thinking Spatial Policies in Europe New Geographies of Europe
NEW GEOGRAPHIES OF EUROPE Edited by THILO LANG AND FRANZISKA GÖRMAR REGIONAL AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN TIMES OF POLARISATION Re-Thinking Spatial Policies in Europe New Geographies of Europe Series Editors Sebastian Henn Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena Jena, Germany Ray Hudson Durham University Durham, UK Thilo Lang Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography University of Leipzig Leipzig, Germany Judit Timár Hungarian Academy of Sciences Budapest, Hungary Tis series explores the production and reshaping of space from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. By drawing on con- temporary research from across the social sciences, it ofers novel insights into ongoing spatial developments within and between the various regions of Europe. It also seeks to introduce new geographies at the edges of the European Union and the interplay with bordering areas at the Mediterranean, African and eastern Asian interfaces of the EU. As a result, this series acts as an important forum for themes of pan-European interest and beyond. Te New Geographies of Europe series welcomes proposals for monographs and edited volumes taking a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to spatial phenomena in Europe. Contributions are especially welcome where the focus is upon novel spatial phenomena, path-dependent processes of socio-economic change or policy responses at various levels throughout Europe. Suggestions for topics also include the relationship between the state and citizens, the idea of fragile democracies, the economics of regional separation, -

From 'Heritage Adepts' to Historical
Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 12 (1): 21–48 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2018-0003 FROM ‘HERITAGE ADEPTS’ TO HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTIONISTS: OBSERVATIONS ON CONTEMPORARY ESTONIAN MALE HERITAGE- BASED ARTISANRY MADIS RENNU Researcher and PhD candidate Estonian Native Crafts Department University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy Turu 7, 71020 Viljandi, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] LIISA TOMASBERG-KOIDU MA in textile design Freelance artist, Kerslet Studio Kersleti village, Vormsi, 91307 Läänemaa, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ART LEETE Professor of Ethnology University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, 50090 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork, conducted between 2007 and 2013, the authors analyse the communities of male artisans that have had the most signif- icant impact on the development of contemporary Estonian handicraft. A wide range of artisans were surveyed in the course of this research, from professionals who earn a living from handicraft to amateurs, small enterprises and handicraft instructors. The authors concentrate on the motifs and background of different categories of handicraft agent. Details of handicraft practice such as mastering spe- cific items, local peculiarities and materials used will be also explored. The analy- sis is predominantly based on the artisans’ views on proper ways of making handi- craft items, their marketing strategies and the needs of developing their skills. The study* demonstrates that artisanal initiatives support the material reproduction of cultural locations through constant renewal of heritage ideology and practice.

Jõgeva, Kuusiku Ja Olustvere Katseala Muldadest
The Composition, Heterogeneity, Humus Status and Environmental Protection Value of Mineral Soils in Estonia KAIRE RANNIK1, RAIMO KÕLLI1, LIIA KUKK1 and MICHAEL A. FULLEN2 1Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Kreutzwaldi 5D, 51014 Tartu (Estonia) 2Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton WV1 1LY (UK) ABSTRACT The composition and properties of soil cover in three experimental areas in Estonia were analysed in terms of soil forming processes and land management practises. These areas were Jõgeva (JEA), Kuusiku (KEA) and Olustvere (OEA). Pedodiversity, humus forms and agrochemical status were analysed within seven arable land parcels. The soil cover of JEA was relatively homogenous. Dominant soil species were Cutanic Luvisols and Haplic Cambisols and the dominant soil texture of epipedons were slightly stony (pebbley) loams. The soil of KEA was much more heterogeneous, with five contrasting soil species in terms of soil genesis and four soil moisture states. The soil species in KEA were Mollic Gleysols, Haplic Cambisols, Gleyic Luvisols and Rendzic Cambisols (with relatively heterogeneous soils textures; from sands to loams). OEA was predominantly Stagnic Albeluvisol, with the topsoil texture consisting of sandy loam textures. In terms of soil species and properties JEA is representative of Central Estonian, OEA of South Estonian and KEA of North Estonian pedo-ecological conditions. These areas are generally representative of arable soils of the eastern part of the North European Plain. Soil cover is treated as a medium through which it is possible to improve the environmental status of an area. The ‘environment protection value’ (EPV) of soils were evaluated and detailed EPV categories were derived. -
The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”. Cooperation between the Hanseatic cit- ies to defend their trade privileges and Merchants from di erent cities in di erent enforce common interests, especially at countries formed convoys and partnerships. -
