Promocijas darbā ir izstrādāta pieeja teritoriālo kopienu izpētei Rīgā, balstoties uz teritoriālo kopienu pētījumu izvērtējumu pasaulē un Latvijā. Izvērtējot teritoriālo kopienu veidošanās procesus dažādās pilsētvides situācijās, ir analizēta mēroga loma teritoriālo kopienu veidošanas procesos. Balstoties uz teritoriālo kopienu pazīmju un to veidošanos ietekmējošo faktoru izvērtējumu četrās izpētes teritorijās Rīgā, izstrādāta teritoriālo kopienu tipu klasifikācija, kas kā pamats izmantojams turpmākos teritoriālo kopienu pētījumos post-sociālistiskajā telpā. Promocijas darbā ir raksturotas Rīgas pilsētas attīstības īpatnības saistība ar teritoriālo kopienu veidošanos un izstrādāti ieteikumi funkcionāli un sociāli atbilstošas dzīvesvides telpas plānošanai Rīgas pilsētā.The aim of this research is to identify and assess principle factors effecting formation of territorial communities in contemporary post-social metropolis. In the Thesis approach to research of territorial communities in Riga is elaborated, based on the evaluation of territorial community and neighbourhood research worldwide and in Latvia. Role of the scale is assessed in formation of territorial communities by evaluating the territorial community formation processes in diverse urban area situations. Classification for territorial community typology for employment in further reseach has been elaborated, based on evaluation of the territorial community characteristics and factors affecting its formation in four reseach areas. In connection to territorial community formation specific characteristis for the Riga city development were described in the Thesis and suggestions were created to ensure functionally and socially adequate living area planning in the Riga city

The history of suburbanization and occurrence of housing and other infrastructural development i... more The history of suburbanization and occurrence of housing and other infrastructural development in predominantly agricultural areas in Latvia is poorly studied, limiting one's understanding of the contemporary character of the city outskirts and knowledge on the rural-urban fringe process. This article argues the necessity to discuss issues/cases of suburban land, which by historical background is rural, by present/legitimate land use zoning is meant for building, while in reality, appears as awaiting open space - extensively used or abandoned in high contrast with the potential possibilities of varied use for local communities and stakeholders. Therefore, the authors study two villages in the suburbs of Riga in the municipality of Kekava -- a territory characterized by the above-mentioned processes, in more detail. In the research, which is based on in-depth interviews with selected experts, inhabitants, and land owners/developers; various socio-economic benefits, their absence; and political drawbacks of 'quick' solutions for more effective land use, the authors identify integrated planning, partnership formation, and public engagement. The results of the research ensure the basis for judgment making and future predictions of the potential use of previously agricultural areas, now characterized by transitional land use.
