Nanna-Louise Wildfang Linde Assistant General Counsel WE-N, Microso! This report is the first delivery from “Top of Digital Europe”, and is a study on the state and ecosystem of ICT-related start-ups and SMEs, the so-called “Micro-multinationals” in the Baltic Sea Region. It is a first and much needed step towards a be!er understanding of the potential within the fast growing digital market. Our hope with the report is to put a spotlight on some of the growth barriers and opportunities of SMEs in the ICT sector and the challenges they are facing when they want to expand their business to new markets. But also to inspire key policy makers and businesses cross borders to join forces and to act on some of the concrete policy recommendations.

    PILISTVERE KIHELKOND JA VABADUSE RISTI VENNAD Jaak Pihlak, Viljandi Muuseumi direktor Käesolev kirjutis on kaheksas sarjast, mis on pühendatud Viljandi- maaga seotud Vabaduse Risti kavaleridele. Artiklid on koostatud kihel- kondlikul alusel. Seni on ilmunud ülevaated Kõpu, Tarvastu, Paistu, Karksi, Kolga-Jaani, Suure-Jaani ja Halliste kihelkonnaga seoseid oma- nud ristivendadest (VMA 1998–2004). Järgnevas artiklis käsitletakse mehi, kellel oli kokkupuuteid Pilistvere kihelkonnaga. Eesti Vabaduse Rist ehk Vabadusrist (VR) on riiklik teenetemärk, mida annetas Vabariigi Valitsus Vabadussõjas osutatud sõjaliste teene- te, lahingutes üles näidatud isikliku vapruse ja mitmesuguste tsiviiltee- nete eest. Samuti anti see kõrge orden Verduni linnale ning Prantsuse, Inglise ja Itaalia Tundmatule Sõdurile. Lisaks on Vabaduse Rist tsiviil- teenete eest määratud 1924. aasta 1. detsembri mässu mahasurumisel silma paistnud kümnele mehele. Aastatel 1919–1925 jagati kokku 3224 Vabaduse Risti (ET 2000: 429). Selle ordeni tegelikke saajaid oli aga natuke vähem, 3132, sest mitme- le mehele on antud kaks või isegi kolm Vabaduse Risti. Nii loeti 2076 isikut Eesti kodanikeks, kellele annetati 2151 teenetemärki. Ülejäänud 1056 olid arvatud välismaalasteks ja nemad pälvisid 1073 Vabaduse Risti (EVRKR 2004: 7). Tänaseks on otsene seos selle teenetemärgi kandjatega katkenud, sest 6. oktoobril 2000 suri Karl Jaanus, viimane Vabaduse Risti kavaler. Ta maeti sõjaväeliste austusavalduste saatel Pilistvere kalmistule. Nimetatud ordeni pälvinud Eesti kodanikest pärines ligi 300 isikut aja- looliselt Viljandimaalt. Kui siia hulka arvata ka endise Pärnumaa Halliste ja Karksi kihelkonnad, mis praegu on Viljandimaa osad, siis kasvab arv oluliselt. Lisanduvad veel need, kes hiljem sidusid oma elu selle kandiga, olid siin teenistuses või puhkavad Viljandimaa mullas (EVRKR 2004: 9). Kuna järgnevas loos on tegemist isikutega, kes mingil ajal omasid sõjaväelisi aukraade, siis ei saa mööda minna väikesest selgitusest.

  • JOBS CREATED out of TALLINN HAVE NOT Reduced
    THE BALTIC JOURNAL OF ROAD AND BRIDGE ENGINEERING 2013 8(1): 58–65 JOBS CREATED OUT OF TALLINN HAVE NOT REDUCED COMMUTING Roland Mäe1 , Dago Antov2, Imre Antso3 Dept of Transportation, Tallinn University of Technology, Ehitajate tee 5, 19086 Tallinn, Estonia E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. Although urban sprawl is relatively new process for Estonia which has not revealed itself to the full extent, in many European cities urban sprawl is recognised as a major challenge to quality of life. Due to the above mentioned negative aspects of urban sprawl in some countries the efforts are determined to restrain urban sprawl. Many studies have been undertaken to research the financial, ecological, cultural and social cost of urban sprawl in most of developed countries. This is the main reason, why declared in the majority of studies the theses, especially in the field of traffic and transportation, cannot be applied to assess situation in our country. Estonia has many geographical, economical, social and cultural peculiarities, which influence its traffic and transportation patterns as well as its urban sprawl rates. Economical crisis has shown the exigency to reduce drastically non-productive expenses and optimize productivity of labour. Thus the reduction of losses in traffic and transportation could be one of all possible solutions. In this article the commuting caused by urban sprawl has been analyzed. The second task is to find out in which range public databases are used to determine the demand of mobility. Keywords: urban sprawl, commuting, traffic volume, mobility, territorial planning, public databases.

SAJANDI EESTIS Kersti MARKUS Tallinna Ülikooli Ajaloo Instituut, Rüütli 6, 10130 Tallinn, Eesti; [email protected] Tsistertslaste tegevuse uurimisel on ajalooallikaid kombineeritud maastikuajaloolise teabega, mis avardab oluliselt senist arusaama vendade rollist tolleaegse ühiskonna kujundamises. On analüüsitud Valkena kloostri rajamise põhjusi ja asukohavalikut ning selle maavaldusi Järva- ja Virumaal, samuti Gotlandi Roma ning Daugavgrīva kloostri omandit tänapäevasel Harjumaal. Eesti alal tegutsenud tsistertslasi on ajaloouurijad seostanud peamiselt ristisõja ja misjonitegevusega. Samas esineb neid 13. sajandi esimese poole dokumentides erakordselt vähe, sagedasemaks muutuvad mainimised alles sajandi teisel poolel.1 Selleks ajaks oli aga ristisõda Eesti alal oma aktuaalsuse kaotanud ja tsistertslaste ordu loovutanud oma senise juhtpositsiooni kerjusordudele. Silma torkab ka asja- olu, et tsistertslaste maavaldused jäid Taani kuninga haldusalasse, ainus munga- klooster rajati Tartu piiskopkonda, ja kui eristaatusega Järvamaa kõrvale jätta, siis Saksa Ordu alale 13. sajandil tsistertslasi ei lastud. Selline olukord ärgitab tee- masse rohkem süvenema ja otsima neid põhjusi, miks võõras piirkonnas kanda kin- nitades tehti just selliseid asukohavalikuid ning mis rolli valged mungad 13. sajandi Eesti ühiskonnas mängisid. Kahjuks on allikalised andmed napid, kuid kombinee- rides olemasolevat teavet maastikuajaloolise teabega, võivad avaneda hoopis uued üllatavad perspektiivid. VALKENA2 KLOOSTER Ainsa Eesti alal 13. sajandil asutatud tsistertslaste mungakloostri rajamise asja- olud on üsna segased.
