  • Jelgava Atrodas Zemgales Līdzenuma Dienvidu Daļā
    Jelgava skaitļos 2009 Cienījamie jelgavnieki un pilsētas viesi! Ikviens patiesi mīl tikai vienu pilsētu – pilsētu, kuras elpu un garu izprot līdz pašai tās dziļākajai būtībai. Tā ikviens īsts jelgavnieks mīl un lepojas ar savu pilsētu. Mēs lepojamies ar savu vēsturi, tradīcijām un veidojam jaunas. Tomēr visvairāk lepojamies ar saviem cilvēkiem-gudriem, talantīgiem un strā- dīgiem, kuri vienmēr ir gatavi ieguldīt prātu un sirdi pilsētas un valsts uzplaukumā. Jelgavas vēsture ir bagāta, bet šodienu veidojam mēs. Protams, vienmēr gribas vairāk, labāk, ātrāk.Tomēr svarīgāk ir stabili, droši un plānveidīgi.Un Jelgavas attīstība šajos gados ir viennozīmīgi ir gājusi uz augšup. Andris Rāviņš, Jelgavas domes priekšsēdētājs Īsi par Jelgavu Jelgava atrodas Zemgales līdzenuma dienvidu daļā. Tā ir ceturtā lielākā pilsēta Latvijā. Jelgavas kopplatība ir 60,3 km2, no kuriem: - ūdens platības ir 2,72 km2 - parki aizņem 1,62 km2 - meži aizņem 12,64 km2 Jelgava ir vienīgā pilsēta Latvijā, kuras ģerbonī ir attēlots valsts mazais ģerbonis. Ģerboni pilsēta ieguva reizē ar pilsētas tiesībām 1573. gadā. Pirmajā ģerbonī bija atainota kronēta brieža galva aveņsarkanā laukā, tagad pilsētas ģerbonis ir alņa galva purpura laukā. 1938. gada 28. oktobrī tika apstiprināts pilsētas karogs. Tas dalīts divās vienāda platuma daļās: augšā tumši zils, bet apakšā - sarkans; karoga centrā ir Jelgavas pilsētas ģerbonis. Attālumi: Jelgava - Rīga 42 km Jelgava- Viļņa 295 km Jelgava- Tallina 350 km Jelgava - Maskava 1053 km Jelgava - Stokholma 482 km Jelgava - Berlīne 1221 km

The aim of the research is to assess convergence processes of a social-economic security indicator in Latvian municipalities and its components in the period 2011 – 2015, calculated as an integral indicator on the basis of primary statistical indicators. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that social-economic security establishes not only the sustainable economic development of the country as a whole, but also the state of protection from internal and external threats. Municipalities, implementing their autonomous functions, are primary guarantors of social-economic security of the people. The convergence of social-economic security of municipalities implies the process of their convergence in time according to the values of the level of social-economic security1.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 26 ( 2013 ) 21 – 32 ICTE in Regional Development, December 2013, Valmiera, Latvia Selecting indicators for sustainable development of small towns: The case of Valmiera municipality Valtenbergs Visvaldisa*, González Ainhoab, Piziks Ralfsc a Sociotechnical Systems Engineering Institute of Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Cesu Street 4, Valmiera, LV-4200, Latvia b National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis International Centre for Local and Regional Development National University of Ireland Maynooth c Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Latvia Abstract Although much has been written about sustainable development of cities, the debate over the role of small towns as engines in rural development is just beginning to emerge. In the light of the post-recession austerity climate and new a planning period of EU Cohesion Policy it is important to examine the strategic dimensions of sustainable town development. The paper proposes and applies methodology for selecting sustainable development indicators. The study presents a case study of the town Valmiera in North Eastern Latvia. During a stakeholder facilitated indicator selection process 108 indicators from economic, environmental and social dimensions were assessed and filtered leading to a key indicator set of 15. The indicators are grouped according to development themes and reviewed in the light of conceptual and implementation qualities. Review of the sustainable development indicators and the methodology of indicator selection proposed in this publication constitute inputs for creating future based models of sustainable small town development. © 2013 TheThe Authors.
