  • Henrik Williams. Scripta Islandica 65/2014
    Comments on Michael Lerche Nielsen’s Paper HENRIK WILLIAMS The most significant results of Michael Lerche Nielsen’s contribution are two fold: (1) There is a fair amount of interaction between Scandinavians and Western Slavs in the Late Viking Age and Early Middle Ages — other than that recorded in later medieval texts (and through archaeology), and (2) This interaction seems to be quite peaceful, at least. Lerche Nielsen’s inventory of runic inscriptions and name material with a West Slavic connection is also good and very useful. The most important evidence to be studied further is that of the place names, especially Vinderup and Vindeboder. The former is by Lerche Niel­ sen (p. 156) interpreted to contain vindi ‘the western Slav’ which would mean a settlement by a member of this group. He compares (p. 156) it to names such as Saxi ‘person from Saxony’, Æistr/Æisti/Æist maðr ‘person from Estonia’ and Tafæistr ‘person from Tavastland (in Finland)’. The problem here, of course, is that we do not know for sure if these persons really, as suggested by Lerche Nielsen, stem ethnically from the regions suggested by their names or if they are ethnic Scandi navians having been given names because of some connection with non­Scandi navian areas.1 Personally, I lean towards the view that names of this sort are of the latter type rather than the former, but that is not crucial here. The importance of names such as Æisti is that it does prove a rather intimate connection on the personal plane between Scandinavians and non­Scan dinavians.

Coastline Reports 20 (2012), ISSN 0928-2734, ISBN 978-3-939206-05-7 S. 77 - 87 Involving Stakeholders along the Baltic Green Belt of Latvia Erik Sachtleber1 & Andra Ratkeviča2 1Institute of Geography, Kiel University 2Dabas aizsardzības pārvalde, Latvia Abstract An essential part of nature protection is involving stakeholders by communicating the need and the benefits from conserving nature. This is very often not easy to handle, the communication with important stakeholders can be disrupted and communication with these stakeholders might malfunction. In these cases a neutral mediator can influence the process and atmosphere of communication in a way that most disruptions and barriers can be overcome. The Slitere National Park is taken as an example for the processes of communication in nature protection and the impact of a neutral stakeholder in a complicated communication regime. This paper analyses the process of communication, which circumstances influenced this process, the history of the area and its stakeholders. As a result, general guidelines for strategic communication with stakeholders in nature protection are given. 1 Introduction An important part of nature conservation is to reduce the pressure of mankind on nature, for example by reducing the negative effects of stakeholders (organisations or key persons with an interest in the usage of land in a nature protection site), economic development and people’s lifestyle. This means, nature protection depends on involving stakeholders; forming alliances and agreements with those who might harm nature with their actions, although it is not their aim – for example in tourism.

    A Tour of the Suiti Cultural Space and the Livonian Cultural Space Introduction Information about both cultural spaces Suiti The Suiti is a small Catholic community living in three parishes of Northern Kurzeme – the Western part of Latvia: Alsunga municipality, Gudenieki parish and Basi village as well as Jūrkalne parish. The total area of the Suiti region is 402 km2. The region is quite remotely located. It is a 2.2 hour- drive from Riga to Alsunga and the distance is 177 km. Gudenieki is situated 184 km from the capital city and Jūrkalne - 189 km. A unique cultural space and identity has developed in the region due to the strong influence of the Catholic church and to the historic interaction of Latvian, Liv, Polish and German cultures. The total population of the territory is around 2 800 people. The synthesis of pre-Christian traditions and religious rituals has created this unique intangible cultural heritage of the Suiti community. Numerous distinct features characterise the Suiti cultural space, such as vocal drone singing performed by Suiti women, wedding traditions, colourful traditional costumes, the Suiti language, local cuisine, religious traditions, celebrations of the annual cycle, and a remarkable number of folk songs, dances and melodies recorded in this community.

  • Lichens of the Coastal Zone Kurzeme of the Baltic
    Lichens of the Latvian coast of the Baltic Sea Alfons Piterāns Faculty of Biology of University of Latvia Along the Latvian coast of the Baltic Sea, from Rucava to Kolka, 267 species of lichens have been recorded. Of these, some are rare in Latvia, such us the soil – growing species Cladonia foliacea, C.subfurcata, Stereocaulon condensatum, Pycnothelia papillaria, the epilithic species Xanthoparmelia mougeotii, Umbilicaria polyphylla, and the epiphytic species Thelotrema lepadinum, Pertusaria pertusa, Mycoblastus sanguinarius, and Pleurosticta acetabulum a.o. A total of 22 lichen species are protected in Latvia. These species in list are marked with asterisk. Key words: flora of lichens, protected species, rare species, Latvia. Introduction The lichen flora of the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea in western Latvia has been previously insufficiently studied. Much of this territory has been protected for the past 50 yearsdo to its designation as a closed border zone during the Soviet occupation. Therefore, the coastal zone has been subject to minimal anthropogenic impact. At present, it is important to study the unique flora of this unique area to elaborate protection plans, and to serve as baseline data in the study of future changes. The study area and lichen collections The the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea from Nida to Kolka was formed by receding water of the Baltic Ice Lake and the Baltic Sea in the Postglacial period. High dunes are common, especially to the south of Liepāja, on both sides of Ventspils, and from Jūrkalne to Pāvilosta. The coastal zone of Kurzeme is very diverse in natural habitats, including many bogs and fens, but predominating vegetation is typical first-dune vegetation, and dry pine forests on older dunes.

Rannikon vaellusreitin alussa, Latvian ja Liettuan rajalta aina Kolkan niemelle, ranta on enimmäkseen hiekkainen. Alkumeren etappi on Latvian rannikon asumattomin osa. Kuitenkin siellä on Latvian kolmanneksi suurin kaupunki. Pāvilostan ja Sārnaten välissä on törmärannikkoa. Kylät ovat harvaanasuttuja, valtaosa asukkaista viettää siellä vain kesää. Slīteren kansallispuistossa reitti kulkee pitkin pelto- ja metsäteitä liiviläiskalastajakylien läpi. Mazirbessa ja Kolkassa paikalliset kalastajat käyvät edelleen merellä ja myyvät itsesavustettua kalaa. Alkumeren etappi päättyy Kolkan niemelle, joka erottaa Itämeren Riianlahdesta. ALKUMERESTÄ – „VIHREÄ SÄDE“ Silloin tällöin kesällä voi meren rannalla seurata auringonlaskun aikaan luonnonilmiötä, jota kutsutaan vihreäksi säteeksi.
