The study analyses the application of digital twins as an integrated set of technologies and methods in the planning and management of various infrastructure development models. Digital twins allow for real-time modelling of physical objects and processes, improving decision-making, forecasting, and resource utilization efficiency. These solutions allow for the simulation of various development scenarios, optimization of resource utilization, and improvement of decision-making in infrastructure planning and manage...

The study is devoted to evaluating the application of remote sensing data (satellite images, orthophotos, etc.) in spatial development planning. The amount of data available today provides extensive opportunities for territory analysis, but in practice their use is often limited. The work analyses how such data can improve land use monitoring, understanding of urbanization processes and decision-making at various planning levels. The main problems are related to the different quality of data, spatial and temporal ...

Nature of Latvia is very diverse, and one of its most valuable land uses is natural meadows. A natural meadow is a bio-top of grasslands that has formed as a result of long-term grazing or mowing without artificial fertilization and without intensive soil cultivation. Such meadows are not sown with grass their species composition has developed naturally, and rare plant species are also often found there. They are not only part of a beautiful landscape, but also an important ecosystem that provides a habitat for ma...

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...

Wind power is a source of renewable energy produced by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind. Wind energy is converted into electricity using wind generators or wind turbines installed in wind farms. It is linked to the kinetic energy of the wind, which is produced when air moves. The energy can be used to create mechanical motion, such as the rotation of the rotors of a wind turbine. To harness wind energy, wind turbines or generators are installed to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity. 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...

In order to reduce the costs of AS ?Sadales tikls', the largest distribution electric network company in Latvia, within the framework of the work efficiency improvement program, the facilities of the support bases where production resources were concentrated - people, equipment and materials, and the geographical location of real estate - were analyzed. A real estate survey of the company's support bases was conducted and the efficiency of use was assessed. The geospatial analysis included the distance and time on...

The main document for the development of urban territories is the municipal territory development plan. When evaluating the aspects of territory planning and development, great importance are focused on the most beneficial land use as the main object of territory planning and greener development. The use of Latvia's natural capital are related to the sustainable use of land and natural resources, equally developing green production and green consumption, as well as simultaneously creating and maintaining the image...

Aim of the paper is to investigate the possibilities of applying the laser scanning method for overhead power transmission line monitoring in Latvia conditions. Today, in various sectors of the national economy, infrastructure monitoring takes an important place in the overall management of the system. It also plays an essential role in electric power, especially in maintaining overhead power transmission lines. Realizing the possibilities of digital development, the monitoring of power lines is more often perform...

The quality of agricultural land (including orchards) describes the productivity of the land, or the benefit that the soil can give to the owner if it is properly cultivated and used. It depends on the type of soil, the mechanical composition of the soil, the reaction of the acidity of the soil, the condition of the drainage system, the contour of the plot of land, the area, rockiness, terrain, and other factors. Alternative energy sources are types of energy resources which the use causes no or only minor damage ...

The land use in Latvia is regulated by a number of regulatory documents, that determine the requirements for property development planning and design. Real estates with a certain composition have been formed, which have defined purposes of real estate use and types of land use, which determine the development possibilities of the territory. Today, many fruit growing companies in Latvia have established a stable production base. Although many farms are getting good harvests, the owners still want to develop orchard...

Cadastral surveying of land is the determination, establishment, and survey of the legal boundaries of a land unit. Cadastral surveying of land is performed that it is necessary to divide a unit of land, merge land units or rearrange the boundaries, if it is necessary to update the situation or encumbrance plan. In the process of cadastral surveying of land, an area plan is prepared. Sometimes the terrain situation is complicated, and it is difficult for a surveyor to access the object. When the terrain situation ...
