In the years between the two World Wars the concept became more political in nature: after Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania obtained their independence in 1918 the region gradually became understood as the geographical entity made up of these three republics. Although the Baltic region is geographically fairly homogeneous, each of the newly restored republics possesses unique geographical and strategic features.

SISSEJUHATUS Lihula valla arengukava on terviklik üldine valla tegevusjuhis, mis määratleb vallavolikogu, -valitsuse ja - asutuste tegevuse eesmärgid, samuti seatud eesmärkide saavutamiseks vajalikud pika- ja lühemaajalised tegevused ning nende üldise pingerea. Kava ülesandeks ei ole valla igapäeva jooksvate ülesannete ja kohustuste üles loetlemine. Arengukava on dokument, mis kujutab endast ühiskondliku kokkulepet valla kui keerulise ja eripalgelise, oma elanikkonda esindava ja teenindava, organisatsiooni töö juhtimiseks ja ühtlustamiseks, jõupingutuste koondamiseks ja olemasolevate vahendite kasutamise tõhususe tõstmiseks. Arengukava annab kõigile asjast huvitatutele teavet valla eesmärkide, eelistuste, vallavõimu ning valla allasutuste poolt ettevõetavatest tegevustest ning võimaldades sellega neil paremini kavandada ja korraldada oma tegevust ning langetada otsuseid. Arengukava eesmärgiks on ka hinnata üldisemalt valla hetkeolukorda ja arenguvõimalusi, ühtlasi tuues välja peamised probleemid ja ohud ning esitada viimaste kõrvaldamise võimalused. Arengukava ei ole kunagi lõplik. Vastavalt inimühiskonnas, loodus-, ja majanduskeskkonnas toimuvatele muutustele tuleb teda pidevalt kohendada ja täiendada. Arengukava on vallavolikogu, -valitsuse ja teiste vallaasutuste tegevuse kohustuslikuks aluseks. Arengukavast

  • ESUKA – JEFUL 3 – 1 2012.Indd
    ESUKA – JEFUL 2012, 3 – 1: 129 – 154 COLOUR TERM ‘BLACK’ IN ESTONIAN PLACE NAMES Kaidi Rätsep Institute of the Estonian Language, Tallinn, and the University of Tartu Abstract: Must ‘black’ is considered to be the most common colour attribute in place names. The article provides a brief overview of must ‘black’ in Estonian place names. The data was obtained from kohanimekartoteek ‘place names card index’ of the Institute of the Estonian Language. In the index there are 1377 slips beginning with (or containing) must ‘black’, discounting within-parish duplicate slips 1081 place names were found. Altogether, 728 different place name variants were discovered. The most frequent occurrences of must in the nominative case were Mustjõgi ‘Black-river’ (frequency = 26), Mustjärv ‘Black-lake’ (22), Mustkivi ‘Black-stone’ (21), Mustoja ‘Black-rivulet’ (18) and Mustmägi ‘Black-hill’ (16). In the genitive case Musta talu ‘Black farm’ (22) was twice as frequent as the next most common, Musti talu ‘Musti farm’ (11). According to the studied material the most common determinant was talu ‘farm’ (231), followed by mägi ‘hill’ (70), mets ‘forest’ (45) and heinamaa ‘hayfi eld’ (43). Keywords: place names, must ‘black’, colour attribute, Estonia 1. Introduction The idea of searching kohanimekartoteek ‘place names card index’ of the Institute of the Estonian Language, for col- our terms was effectuated by the earlier research into basic col- our terms. Examples of other colours include valge ‘white’, hall ‘grey’, sinine ‘blue’, roheline ‘green’, kollane ‘yellow’, punane ‘red’ and pruun ‘brown’. For dialectal equivalents to basic col- our terms, e.g. ahk ‘grey’, haljas ‘green’, vahane, vahass ‘yel- low’, ver(r)ev ‘red’, see Oja 2011.

  • Koonga Valla Üldplaneeringu Seletuskirja Lisa 2
    Koonga valla üldplaneeringu seletuskirja Lisa 2 OLEMASOLEVA OLUKORRA LÜHIKIRJELDUS 1. Asend Koonga vald paikneb Lääne-Eesti madalikul. Koonga vald on Pärnumaa loodepoolseim vald. Vald piirneb Lihula, Vigala, Halinga, Hanila, Audru, Tõstamaa ja Varbla vallaga. Valla territooriumi suurus on 438 km 2, sellest põllumajandusmaad ca 19 % ja metsamaad ca 35 %. Teiste valdade ja maakondadega ühendavad Koonga valda riiklikud teed Pärnu – Lihula, Pärnu-Jaagupi – Kalli, Kalli – Karuse, Kalli – Tõstamaa – Värati ja Vanamõisa – Koonga - Ahaste maanteed. Kaugus suurematest linnadest on Tallinnast 125 km ja Pärnust 37 km. Valla keskus asub Koonga külas. 2. Looduskeskkond 2.1 Pinnaehitus ja –vormid Koonga vald paikneb Pärnu maakonna loodeosas ning kuulub Lääne–Eesti madaliku maastikurajooni. Reljeef on valdavalt tasane, kohati nõrgalt lainjas – lamedad paest kõrgendikud ja moreentasandikud vahelduvad soostunud sette– ja sootasandikega. Vaheldust reljeefi toovad rannavallid ja –astangud. Maapinna absoluutne kõrgus on vahelduvalt 13–30 m vahemikus. Maapinna kõrgus on tõusev ida suunas, aga valdav osa alast jääb 0–10 m vahemikku. See on seotud suurte soomassiivide paiknemisega valla territooriumil (Avaste soo absoluutne kõrgus jääb 0–10 m vahemikku). Paekõrgendike servad ja sellel olevate künniste nõlvad langevad kohati astangutena Avaste soo ja Kõima raba suunas. Kohati kerkib soosaari. Silmapaistvaim neist on Avaste soos maalinna künnis, mis kerkib 10 m ümbritseva soo pinnast kõrgemale. Astangutega kaasnevad madalad rannavallid (10–15 m laiuse ahelikuna Avaste soo ja Kõima raba serv). Paekõrgendike nõgudes levivad ulatuslikud sood ja rabad. Pinnavormide loojateks olid mannerjää ja muistne meri. Aluspõhja reljeefi kujunemine on toimunud juba enne jääaega. Mannerjää kulutas paese aluspõhja lainjaks, kuid liikuv jää voolis aluspõhja jää liikumise suunaga rööbiti – nii tekkisid voored (salumäed).

  • The Kaali Crater Field and Other Geosites of Saaremaa Island (Estonia): the Perspectives for a Geopark
    Geologos, 2010, 16 (1): 59–68 doi: 10.2478/v10118-010-0004-z The Kaali crater field and other geosites of Saaremaa Island (Estonia): the perspectives for a geopark Anto Raukas 1 & Wojciech Stankowski 2 1 Institute of Ecology, Tallinn University, Uus-Sadama 5, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia;e-mail: [email protected] 2 Institute of Geology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Maków Polnych 16, 61-606 Poznan, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Island of Saaremaa in Estonia offers highly spectacular geological features that belong to the most interesting in the Baltic Sea area. A unique geological monument on the island is the Kaali meteorite–crater field, formed by nine meteori- te impacts. There are also attractive coastal cliffs, huge erratics, alvars (limestone areas covered by a very thin soil) and well-developed glacial and marine landforms. Limestone cliffs and shingle beaches abound with Silurian fossils and offer great opportunities to fossil collectors. The island is a prospective geopark. During the past few years, the geology of the island has become an intensely studied object of Estonian and Polish geologists.
