Jelgava Atrodas Zemgales Līdzenuma Dienvidu Daļā Jelgava skaitļos 2009 Cienījamie jelgavnieki un pilsētas viesi! Ikviens patiesi mīl tikai vienu pilsētu – pilsētu, kuras elpu un garu izprot līdz pašai tās dziļākajai būtībai. Tā ikviens īsts jelgavnieks mīl un lepojas ar savu pilsētu. Mēs lepojamies ar savu vēsturi, tradīcijām un veidojam jaunas. Tomēr visvairāk lepojamies ar saviem cilvēkiem-gudriem, talantīgiem un strā- dīgiem, kuri vienmēr ir gatavi ieguldīt prātu un sirdi pilsētas un valsts uzplaukumā. Jelgavas vēsture ir bagāta, bet šodienu veidojam mēs. Protams, vienmēr gribas vairāk, labāk, ātrāk.Tomēr svarīgāk ir stabili, droši un plānveidīgi.Un Jelgavas attīstība šajos gados ir viennozīmīgi ir gājusi uz augšup. Andris Rāviņš, Jelgavas domes priekšsēdētājs Īsi par Jelgavu Jelgava atrodas Zemgales līdzenuma dienvidu daļā. Tā ir ceturtā lielākā pilsēta Latvijā. Jelgavas kopplatība ir 60,3 km2, no kuriem: - ūdens platības ir 2,72 km2 - parki aizņem 1,62 km2 - meži aizņem 12,64 km2 Jelgava ir vienīgā pilsēta Latvijā, kuras ģerbonī ir attēlots valsts mazais ģerbonis. Ģerboni pilsēta ieguva reizē ar pilsētas tiesībām 1573. gadā. Pirmajā ģerbonī bija atainota kronēta brieža galva aveņsarkanā laukā, tagad pilsētas ģerbonis ir alņa galva purpura laukā. 1938. gada 28. oktobrī tika apstiprināts pilsētas karogs. Tas dalīts divās vienāda platuma daļās: augšā tumši zils, bet apakšā - sarkans; karoga centrā ir Jelgavas pilsētas ģerbonis.

The aim of the research is to assess convergence processes of a social-economic security indicator in Latvian municipalities and its components in the period 2011 – 2015, calculated as an integral indicator on the basis of primary statistical indicators. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that social-economic security establishes not only the sustainable economic development of the country as a whole, but also the state of protection from internal and external threats. Municipalities, implementing their autonomous functions, are primary guarantors of social-economic security of the people. The convergence of social-economic security of municipalities implies the process of their convergence in time according to the values of the level of social-economic security1.

In the light of the post-recession austerity climate and new a planning period of EU Cohesion Policy it is important to examine the strategic dimensions of sustainable town development. The paper proposes and applies methodology for selecting sustainable development indicators. The study presents a case study of the town Valmiera in North Eastern Latvia. During a stakeholder facilitated indicator selection process 108 indicators from economic, environmental and social dimensions were assessed and filtered leading to a key indicator set of 15. The indicators are grouped according to development themes and reviewed in the light of conceptual and implementation qualities. Review of the sustainable development indicators and the methodology of indicator selection proposed in this publication constitute inputs for creating future based models of sustainable small town development. © 2013 TheThe Authors.

  • Development of Public Transport: Future Challenges of Liepaja` S Tram (Latvia)
    PROBLEMS OF MANAGEMENT IN THE 21st CENTURY Vol. 11, No. 1, 2016 16 DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT: FUTURE CHALLENGES OF LIEPAJA` S TRAM (LATVIA) Diāna Līduma, Aija Kairēna, Inese Lūsēna-Ezera Liepaja University, Liepaja, Latvia E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Monta Šimkus SIA Liepājas tramvajs, Liepaja, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Transport has always had an important role in the lifestyle of population and development of economy, but the public transport performs mainly the social function – it works for the benefit of the society. Development and quality of services must be provided also for the public transport companies, however, we meet different problems related to infrastructure and traffic for this to happen. To successfully manage and develop a public transport company, it is essential to change the thinking of people in favour of the public transport, not for the personal transport. It is necessary to ensure the sustainability as the main value, which means selection of the right public transport system. The authors relied on the experience of formation of a unified transport system in the world and Latvia’s largest cities’ strategic vision for public transport development. Taking into account the fact that Liepaja is one the three cities in Latvia where the public transport service is provided by a tram, an empiric research was made. Its aim was to clarify the opinion of the inhabitants of Liepaja, regarding the services provided by Liepaja trams, regarding the possible improvements and necessity for development. 200 inhabitants of Liepaja were questioned within the framework of the research.
