Nevertheless, the available information about the already implemented introduction projects is scattered and fragmentary. The aim of this paper is to outline and discuss the landscape of semi-wild animal grazing projects in the specially protected nature territories (SPNT) throughout Latvia, focusing on the project implementation contexts, locational factors and current management issues. The results of this study show that grazing areas of semi-wild herbivores are located mainly in nature parks and nature reserves. The typical location for the establishment of a grazing site is a former agricultural land area that has been abandoned by its previous users due to unsuitable conditions for profitable agricultural activity and which is located close to a natural waterbody. The main goal for all of the analyzed introduction projects was the restoration and protection of open landscape and grassland habitats. According to the research results, at APPRECIATING GEOGRAPHY: LOCAL AND GLOBAL SCALE 61 present, the main problem regarding grazing sites of semi-wild large herbivores, is the existing policy framework. This study raises many questions about the future of semi-wild herbivores in Latvia and these should be addressed in further in-depth studies.","PeriodicalId":41656,"journal":{"name":"Folia Geographica","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87091450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By bringing a geographic perspective to examining how cinema evokes a location, we gain a better understanding of the way we socially construct place/location in our geographical imaginations. Studies of films can inform us about new historio-graphical perspectives on space, architecture and urban imagery, and thus advance new critical insights into the geo-historical formation of urban modernity. The focus of this study is to describe the portrayal of Rīga’s urban space under Stalin’s regime. The mixed method approach is used to interpret the representation of Stalin’s Soviet occupied Rīga. This exposes different elements and processes about the formation of Soviet Rīga’s cinematic landscape. Spatial analysis of Stalin’s Rīga not only displays which sites were transformed in cinematic places but also acts as an archaeological tool that explores hidden residential settings during the Soviet period. This study sheds light on innovative methods in historical analyses of geographical thought and practice, where films have been considered as geographic practice for visual language with a goal to evoke viewer experiences of inhabiting Soviet urban space. This paper acknowledges both development and spatial organization of urban space in Stalin’s Rīga, and that politically restricted space uncovers gaps and contradictions in the official Soviet history by creating an alternative history of Soviet Rīga.","PeriodicalId":41656,"journal":{"name":"Folia Geographica","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81772972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Very little attention has been paid to the remaining peat layer properties; however, this is important for the planning and choice of scenario for re-cultivation. The aim of this study has been to investigate the properties of the remaining peat section with special attention to the top layer. This research project included the following laboratory methods: loss – on ignition method, pH, degree of peat decomposition botanical composition and natural peat density analysis. The results of this study point to those peat properties that are changing due to extraction processes. The obtained results suggest that peat properties in the studied affected peatlands vary differently. The top layers of the peat section have a higher natural density and increased amount of mineral matter. The main changes observed were in the peat natural moisture, pH, mineral content, degradation rates, and ash content, which in the extracted peat field were associated with hydrological regime modification.","PeriodicalId":41656,"journal":{"name":"Folia Geographica","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74171878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important consideration that limits change of place of residence is attachment to that place and its people, as well as some life-shaping circumstances such as job prospects, education, raising children and the buying of a residential property (Fischer et. al. 2000). More than half of the residents of Rīga (419146) in 2018 have lived in the same neighbourhood for at least 18 years (CSB 2018). This raises the question as to whether they also share common socio-economic circumstances. Geographically immobile residents are the core of the population. Study analyses on the socio-demographic background of geographically immobile residents of Rīga, who have not changed location since the 1990s, used data from a 2015 survey (n=867). The residential 'harbours' for long-term residents are Soviet socialist periodbuilt apartment-block housing neighbourhoods. Having a population of school-age children, people in retirement and/or on a low income might contribute to some of the reasons for staying at one place for longer periods of time in suburban Rīga. The sociodemographic characteristics of the geographically immobile population displays differences among respondents residing in different neighbourhoods. Among the neighbourhoods with the highest share of geographically immobile respondents, the areas located on the outskirts of the capital city are less attractive than those more central and with higher incomes and children.","PeriodicalId":41656,"journal":{"name":"Folia Geographica","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90095475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study the term core is considered the capital of Latvia, Rīga, and the term periphery is considered as the remaining statistical regions in Latvia as well as the receiving countries which are identified as the UK, Ireland, Germany, Norway and Sweden. The study is based on a database derived from an online survey and analysed through statistical methods. The findings suggest that the profiles of labour migrants differ sharply in terms of geographic context in Latvia. Migrants from the core part of the country were more educated, skilled and had worked in the tertiary sector of the economy prior moving away from Latvia than their counterparts from peripheral regions. In addition, other findings show that migrants from the core are less likely to be circular migrants, but more often than not, migrants from the periphery use their own efforts to find a job in the destination country. In terms of destination country geographies, emigrants from the core more often choose Germany, Norway and Sweden, but emigrants with lower hierarchy in education and occupation levels engage more in circular movements by repeatedly going to Ireland and the UK.
