ASSESSMENT OF DETERMINATION OF DEGRADED TERRITORIES IN LATVIA

(STEF92 Technology, 2025-12-27, Vivita Puķīte, Māris Virkavs)

Show more

The identification of degraded territories has become an important component of spatial planning and development in the world, because land, both as a territory and as a natural resource, is limited, so much attention is paid to its efficient and sustainable use. There is no single definition of what constitutes a degraded territory. An important feature that characterizes these types of territories is their low value and limited use possibilities their full use cannot be initiated or continued without improvement...

In previous studies, when conducting a geospatial analysis of 297 degraded territories in Latvia, it was found that 6.7% of them would be suitable for electricity production with renewable energy resources and approximate calculations of the possible electricity production potential were made. The task of the study was to conduct an in-depth study of the degraded territory found in the previous analysis in an area of 11.0 ha, taking into account the location of the territory in relation to the daily movement and a...

In order to limit climate change, it is necessary to look for areas in each country where facilities for the production of electricity with renewable energy resources can be placed. In Latvia, agricultural and forest land areas are used for the realization of these goals. The aim of the study was to look for alternative areas, thus looking for opportunities to reduce the pressure on areas whose main purpose would be agricultural production. In the study, 297 geospatial analysis of land units on which municipal was...
