  • Discover Bauska! the History of the Town of Bauska
    Discover Bauska! The history of the town of Bauska The small and quiet town of Bauska, which has always been associated with its nearness to trade routes, continues the tradition of trying to greet and welcome travellers. Pilsmiests, also known as Vairogmiests, originated in the middle of the 15th century, on the peninsula between the Mūsa and Mēmele rivers, next to the newly built Fortress of the Livonian Order. It was a safe place of residence for the landlords of the area, to whom the Master of the Livonian Order allotted the conquered lands. In 1518, Master Walter von Plettenberg issued a decree to build a church on the peninsula, named after St. Gertrude. During this time, the formation of a merchant settlement was taking place near the ford of the Mēmele, at the place where merchants and travellers crossed the river. After the founding of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, during the second half of the 16th century, Bauska experienced the greatest flourishing in its history, albeit for a short time, becoming both the administrative centre of the Duchy with the Duke’s place of residence in the Bauska Castle, and an important trade point through which the road from Lithuania to Riga passed. In 1584, Duke Gothard Kettler, decided that his place of residence in Vairogmiests had become too confined and he made up his mind to move to a new part of the town on the banks of the river Mēmele. Already before that, the territorial arrangement works were performed. In 1573, the Church of the Holy Trinity was built for the Latvian congregation.

Tā kā cilvēks visus patēriņa labumus gūst no zemes, tā dzīves līmeni jeb patēriņa apjo- mu izsaka vidējas produktivitātes zemes platībā, kas nepieciešama to saražošanai. Cilvēcei pieejamie planētas Zeme resursi, ieskaitot arī ūdeņus, ir ~ 12 miljardi vidējās produktivi- tātes hektāru.

Noteicošais iemesls tautsaimniecības industrializācijai un tās ietekmei uz planētas temperatūru ir zemeslodes apdzīvotības radikāls palielinājums. Abstrahējoties no starpvalstu atšķirībām, vidējais iespējamais pasaules iedzīvotāju labklājības līmenis ir pretēji proporcionāls zemeslodes iedzīvotāju skaitam. Ja iedzīvotāju skaits netiks regulēts, zemeslodes resursu noēšana un cilvēces bojāeja būs nenovēršama.

Tas atbilst Ēģiptes vidējam iedzīvotāju patēriņa apjomam (1,66 gha/iedz.). Lai nodrošinātu patēriņa līmeni — vidēji 4,5 ha uz iedzīvotāju — iedzīvotāju skaits jāsamazina līdz 2,6–2,7 miljardiem, tas ir, līdz apdzīvotības līmenim, kāds bija 1950. g. (2,519) un 1955. g.
