Introduction Introduction 1 Local Government Organisation Act is the legal basis for preparing the development plan of local gov- ernment. Pursuant to Section 37 of the Act, each local government must have a development plan. According to the Act, temporal extent of the development plan should comprise at least three forth- coming financial years or period of proprietary obligations of the local government. City of Tallinn has financial obligations until 2027, so the development plan covers the period from 2009 to 2027. Action plan of the development plan is prepared until 2013. Development Plan of Tallinn 2009-2027 is based on objectives set in Development Plan of Tallinn 2006-2021 established by the regulation no.53 from 6 Oct 2005 by Tallinn City Council. Conceptual part of the development plan is based on strategy Tallinn 2025 (approved with Tallinn City Coun- cil regulation no. 23 of 10 June 2004). The development plan also considers the long term strategic development trends of the state, sectoral and city district development plans of Tallinn, and main principles of budget strategy and comprehensive plan of Tallinn. Thus it is an integral strategic docu- ment aiming the future and presenting general solution for integral and balanced development of the capital. According to the Local Government Organisation Act, the development plan is the basis for preparing the budget of the city, making investments and, if necessary, taking the loans. At the same time the development plan creates an opportunity to involve purposefully the potential of the state, European Union, private sector and non-profit sector to the development of Tallinn. Beside focusing on the capital, also the processes going on in city regions have also been consid- ered in changing the development plan of Tallinn since several future solutions of Tallinn can function successfully only thanks to the cooperation of neighbouring local governments and joint investments to social and technical infrastructure. Unanimous policies of Tallinn, local governments of capital regions and the state would help perform the tasks set in the development plan more successfully which at the end is directed towards guaranteeing the welfare of people in Tallinn as the county cen- tre and capital of Estonia and increasing the competitiveness in global scale1. Therefore it is important that also the state supports achieving the objectives set in the develop- ment plan, e.g. by financing the objects of national importance on the principle of co-financing. The development plan comprises the introduction, brief description of tasks and selections of the development of Tallinn, phrasing the vision and management principles of Tallinn and an action plan. Action plan presents six main objectives, sub objectives, measures

  • History Education: the Case of Estonia
    Mare Oja History Education: The Case of Estonia https://doi.org/10.22364/bahp-pes.1990-2004.09 History Education: The Case of Estonia Mare Oja Abstract. This paper presents an overview of changes in history teaching/learning in the general education system during the transition period from Soviet dictatorship to democracy in the renewed state of Estonia. The main dimensions revealed in this study are conception and content of Estonian history education, curriculum and syllabi development, new understanding of teaching and learning processes, and methods and assessment. Research is based on review of documents and media, content analysis of textbooks and other teaching aids as well as interviews with teachers and experts. The change in the curriculum and methodology of history education had some critical points due to a gap in the content of Soviet era textbooks and new programmes as well as due to a gap between teacher attitudes and levels of knowledge between Russian and Estonian schools. The central task of history education was to formulate the focus and objectives of teaching the subject and balance the historical knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in the learning process. New values and methodical requirements were included in the general curriculum as well as in the syllabus of history education and in teacher professional development. Keywords: history education, history curriculum, methodology Introduction Changes in history teaching began with the Teachers’ Congress in 1987 when Estonia was still under Soviet rule. The movement towards democratic education emphasised national culture and Estonian ethnicity and increased freedom of choice for schools. In history studies, curriculum with alternative content and a special course of Estonian history was developed.

It is also available online: http://www.borenv.net/BER/pdfs/ber12/ber12-653.pdf Introduction Estonia is located in a transition zone between regions having a maritime climate in the west and continental climate in the east and is a relatively small country (45,227 km2), but its geographical location between the Fenno-scandian Shield and East European Platform and comparatively long coastline (over 4000 km) due to numerous peninsulas, bays and islands (>1,500 island), results in a variety of shore types and ecosystems. The western coast is exposed to waves generated by prevailing westerly winds, with NW waves dominant along the north-facing segment beside the Gulf of Finland, contrasting with southern relatively sheltered sectors located on the inner coasts of islands and along the Gulf of Livonia (Riga). The coastline classification is based on the concept of wave processes straightening initial irregular outlines via erosion of Capes/bay deposition, or a combination (Orviku, 1974, Orviku and Granö, 1992, Gudelis, 1967). Much coast (77%) is irregular with the geological composition of Capes and bays being either hard bedrock or unconsolidated Quaternary deposits, notably glacial drift.

  • Recycling Viru Keskus
    ESTONIAN URBANISTS' REVIEW 15 FIELD NOTES Väike-Õismäe Urban Walk at TAB. Photo: Keiti Kljavin Keiti Photo: TAB. at Urban Walk Väike-Õismäe RECYCLING VIRU KESKUS FRANCISCO MARTÍNEZ, Department of Anthropology, Tallinn University In September 2013 the second Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) was organised, this time under the catchy headline ‘Recycling Socialism’. The program was composed of multiple events, such as a symposium (half of the presentations with an arguable interest) and an architectural vision compe- tition reflecting upon the Väike-Õismäe neighbourhood. Additionally several exhibitions (e.g. in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Linnahall), workshops (e.g. Failed Architecture in Rapla), excursions (organised by the Estonian Urban Lab), and informal gatherings (e.g. TAB lounge, Gala…) took place. Having a background in journalism, political economy and anthropology, it won’t be me who judges the technical architectural aspects of the program. I guess I was not invited to do that either. Quite probably the editors of this review want to get an outsider’s opinion; someone who deploys a different approach and raises alternative questions. In that sense, I’m a doppel outsider, a strang- er in the field of urban planning and architecture and a foreigner in Estonia. A colleague of mine told me that the qualitative loop that has occurred from the first to the second edition of Tallinn Architecture Biennale is impres- sive. It is worth a mention that most of this great work was done by a group of architects from an office called b210. A second colleague told me that the curators managed to create a tiger structure almost from nothing, from scratch.

In recent years, researchers have started to look towards informal greenspaces for potential solutions. In Estonia, there is not much research done about informal greenspaces and there is also a lack of design ideas for these spaces. This thesis aimed to find out what is distinctive for informal greenspaces in Northern Tallinn, what type of informal greenspaces can be found in Northern Tallinn, and what kind of evidence of use and co-management by users can be found from informal greenspaces in Northern Tallinn. To find the answers to these questions, twenty-eight case study sites in Northern Tallinn were analyzed through map analysis and field study. This provided sufficient information to answer all the research questions. The results of this thesis might provide beneficial information for the municipality of Northern Tallinn and landscape architects and planners to come up with solutions and strategies for these spaces that would meet the needs of the residents.
