IevadsIntroduction

Daþâdâs pasaules malâs sabiedrîba arvien vairâk atbalsta noturîgu jebilgtspçjîgu attîstîbu, lîdzsvarotâku pieeju, kas reizç ar parastajiem ekonomiskajiemapsvçrumiem ievçro arî sociâlos un vides apsvçrumus (intereses). Vârdam«augðana» ir divas nozîmes — paplaðinâðanâs un attîstîba. Paplaðinâties nozîmçkïût lielâkam, attîstîties nozîmç kïût labâkam. Ir daudz attîstîbas iespçju, kampaplaðinâðanâs nav vajadzîga.

Ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbas principi nav nekas jauns un tos jau lietojam ikdienâ, taèune plânveidîgi un sistemâtiski. Mçs izmantojam vietçjos resursus un iespçjas,rûpçjamies par tîru dzeramo ûdeni un notekûdeòu attîrîðanu, par kultûras tradîcijusaglabâðanu, par veselîbas aizsardzîbu u.tml. Taèu ir vçl tik daudz iespçju mûsudzîves vidi veidot kvalitatîvâku, padarît vairâk, izmantojot mazâk resursu un lietojottos ilgâk, vairâk izmantojot mûsu prasmes nekâ krâjumus, esot pieticîgâkiem mate-riâlajâs prasîbâs, bet tomçr prasot labâku vidi un labâku dzîves kvalitâti.

Cilvçki, vçsture un viss ðajâ vietâ notikuðais ir izveidojis kaut ko ïoti îpaðu, unvçlme to saglabât ir dalâma ar ikvienu.

Ilgtspçjîga attîstîba — tâs ir novada dabas bagâtîbas un kultûrvçsturiskâsvçrtîbas, tradîcijas, lokâlpatriotisms, patstâvîba un konkurçtspçja, tâ ir saimnieciskaun atbildîga attieksme pret visu apkârt notiekoðo un lietu kopsakarîbu zinâðana.Galu galâ — tâ ir veselîga un kvalitatîva dzîvesvide.

Ilgtspçjîgâ attîstîbâ cilvçks ir mçríis, ne lîdzeklis vai skrûvîte biznesâ. Ilgtspçjîgaattîstîba prasa vçrtîbu orientâciju uz paðpilnveidi, ne patçriòu.

An increasing number of people in different parts of the world support stable orsustainable development that also considers social and environmental interestsalong with the usual economic considerations. In sustainable development a personis an objective not simply a screw in business. It requires value orientation towardsself — improvement, not consumption.

We use local resources and possibilities, care for clean drinking water and se-wage systems, for preservation of cultural traditions, health protection etc. But thereare a lot more possibilities to improve the quality of our lives, to do more by usingless resources for a longer period of time, putting more stress on our skills ratherthan our stocks, to be more modest in our material demands, but require a betterenvironment and higher quality of life.

The word «growth» has two meanings — expansion and development. To ex-pand means to become bigger, to develop — to become better. There are many de-velopment possibilities that do not require expansion.

Sustainable development means the importance of regional nature and culturalheritage, traditions and identity, competitiveness and economic independence, eco-nomical and responsible attitude to the activities around, as well as awareness ofinterconnection of things. After all it means — healthy and qualitative living envi-ronment.

Galvenâs aktivitâtesLai paðiem iedzîvotâjiem bûtu lielâka teikðana un iespçja realizçt savus centie-

nus, projekts uzsâcis iedzîvotâju Apaïâ galda forumu (AGF). Foruma uzdevums —kopîgi vienojoties, pieòemt lçmumus par visdaþâdâkajiem attîstîbas jautâjumiem,veidot savu darba kârtîbu un kopîgi strâdât, lai to îstenotu. Iedzîvotâju lîdzdalîba irviens no ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbas stûrakmeòiem.

AGF piedâvâ :• lielâkas iespçjas iedzîvotâju lîdzdalîbai lçmumu pieòemðanâ,• lçmumu pieòemðanu, balstoties uz ilgtspçjîbas principiem,• jaunu sadarbîbas formu un prasmju veidoðanu,• sabiedrîbas ierosmju noveðanu lîdz îstenoðanai,• vides apziòas un motivâcijas veidoðanu,• iniciatîvas grupu veidoðanu.

Aptaujas mçríis bija noskaidrot iedzîvotâju viedokïus ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbasjautâjumâ, izzinât ieceres un idejas, saistot tâs ar vietçjo AGENDA-21. Ar aptaujaspalîdzîbu iedzîvotâji tika vienlaicîgi informçti par ilgtspçjîgu attîstîbu.

Sabiedrîbas lîdzdalîba ir viena no bûtiskâkajâm LA - 21 procesa sastâvdaïâm,tâdçï svarîgi bija noskaidrot:

• iedzîvotâju vçlmi un motivâciju lîdzdarboties tâlredzîgâkâ saimniekoðanâ,• cik iedzîvotâji paði jûtas atbildîgi,• vai tic, ka paðvaldîba spçs veidot ðâdu attîstîbu,• vai domâ, ka ar savu aktivitâti un nostâju var kaut ko mainît,• vai tas, ko cilvçki vçlas, saskan ar virzîbu uz ilgtspçjîbu.

Ar Zaïâ novada ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbas konsultatîvâs padomes (IAKP) starp-niecîbu cenðamies tuvinât lçmçjvaras pârstâvjus, uzòçmçjus u.c., lai pârdomâti unlietderîgi izmantotu vietçjos resursus un iespçjas, kâ arî sadarbotos ar nacionâloIAKP.

Padome ir informatîva, konsultatîva un koordinçjoða institûcija, kuras mçríis irsekmçt ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbas principu iedzîvinâðanu, veicinot arî sabiedrîbas

lîdzdalîbu. Bûtiskâkais uzdevums — saskaòot daþâdu sektoru darbîbu, saredzçtZiemeïkurzemes unikâlâs iespçjas Latvijas un Eiropas kontekstâ, mâcîties sadarbo-ties tâlejoðu mçríu vârdâ. IAKP konsultâcijas nepiecieðamas arî ZA - 21 centraturpmâkai attîstîbai.

Ar vairâku demonstrâciju jeb uzskatâmas rîcîbas objektu palîdzîbu katrâ pa-gastâ veidotas jaunas iespçjas un finansiâli atbalstîta Zaïâ novada attîstîba, lietojotneierastas, rosinoðas pieejas, atbalstot aktîvus novada cilvçkus, lietojot cilvçkiemun videi labvçlîgâkas tehnoloìijas un metodes bûvniecîbâ, notekûdeòu attîrîðanâ uncitur.

Prasîbas demonstrâciju projektu sagatavoðanai un apstiprinâðanai pirmkârtsaistîtas ar ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbas èetriem pamatprincipiem:

• dabas aizsardzîba un attîstîba — projektam jâbût videi draudzîgam, t.sk.dabas resursus taupoðam, izvçloties labâkâs iespçjamâs tehnoloìijas,izmantojot videi draudzîgus materiâlus,

• ekonomiskais izdevîgums — vietçjie resursi (dabas, cilvçku, kultûrvidesu.c.) jâizmanto lietderîgi un efektîvi (vienlaikus aizsargâjot vidi un sekmçjotteritorijas ekonomisko attîstîbu),

• sociâlais taisnîgums — jâòem vçrâ ne tikai tûristu, bet, pirmkârt, tieðivietçjo iedzîvotâju intereses, jârespektç gan profesionâlo, gan daþâdu sociâlogrupu vajadzîbas un intereses, jârada jaunas darbavietas,

• kultûrvides mantojums — kultûrobjektu, garîgâ mantojuma, kultûrvidestradîciju u.tml. izzinâðana, atjaunoðana un izmantoðana vietçjai attîstîbai.

——————————

Project application was prepared to solve a range of problems that have not losttheir importance up to this day:

• Environmental interests are not taken into account during the developmentplanning of the municipalities

• There is lack of information, education and understanding in the field• Weakly developed public participation, lack of motivation for the participation• Many decisions and activities in different spheres are not properly done be-

cause of the lack of tight co-operative work that leads to negative impact onthe environment

• There is lack of the compensation mechanism to compensate the restrictionsof economical activity caused by environmental supervision.

• Entrepreneurs and other inhabitants lack motivation for long-term activities,having very few positive examples. Consequently, solutions that ensure sa-ving larger financial capital for the future are often not used.

Planned activities:• International Conference for Sustainable Coastal Development• Case study visit to EU Green Region• Round-table Forum establishment• Working out rules and system for the functioning of Agenda 21 Centre• Regional Agenda 21 Centre foundation as a legal organisation• Agenda 21 Centre building renovation, using eco-technologies• Establishment of Advisory Council for Sustainable Development of North Kur-

zeme Coastal Region• Coastal Region Agenda 21 development process by wide involvement of regi-

onal society• Choice of the best demonstration projects• Implementation of the demonstration projects• Small demonstration and dissemination: booklets, project newspaper, web

page, data banks, etc.• Action planning for the Coastal Region Agenda 21 Centre future development

and maintenance

To implement the envisaged activities, Supervision Council worked during thewhole project making decisions that were carried out by the Executive body of theproject. There were planning seminars with public participation, a large survey, theactivities of the Public Round-table Forum and the Consulting council of North Kur-zeme sustainable development were started. Several objects in each municipality fa-

ced stimulating changes. We call them the objects of visual activity or demonstrati-on objects. P/O «North-Kurzeme AGENDA-21 Centre» has also been created andshould continue the work after the conclusion of LIFE project. Distribution of the re-sults, exchange of experience and public interaction have been provided by differentpublications, web page, and the project leaflet «On Green Branch».

Main activitiesThe project has started Public Round-table Forum to provide the inhabitants

with bigger decision making power and possibilities to carry out their ideas. The taskof the forum — to make decisions about a wide variety of development questionsbased on common agreement, to create a common agenda and work together tocarry it out. Public participation is one of the corner stones of sustainable develop-ment.

RTF offers:• bigger public participation possibilities in decision making process,• decision making based on the principles of sustainability,• working on new co-operation forms and skills,• implementation of public ideas,• creation of environmental awareness and motivation,• formation of initiative groups.

The aim of the survey was to clarify the public opinion on sustainable develop-ment, to find out about the suggestions and ideas connecting them with the localAGENDA-21 or creation of sustainable development. During the survey people werealso informed about the idea of sustainable development.

Public participation is one of the most important parts of LA - 21 processes the-refore it was important to clarify:

• willingness and motivation of the inhabitants to participate in farsighted eco-nomical activities

• public sense of responsibility• trust in the local government to be able to ensure the development• the idea of being able to change something with everyone’s individual activi-

ty and attitude• co-ordination of public wishes with the idea of sustainability

With the mediation of the Advisory Council for Sustainable Development (AC)we try to bring together the members of legislative body, entrepreneurs, and othersto utilise the local resources and possibilities deliberately and usefully as well as toco-operate with the national AC.

AC is an informative, consulting and co-ordinating institution. Its objective is tofacilitate the implementation of the principles of sustainable development with pu-blic participation. The most important task of AC is to co-ordinate the activities ofdifferent sections, to see the unique possibilities of North Kurzeme within the contextof Latvia and Europe, to learn to co-operate in the name of far-reaching aims.

ther development of «North Kurzeme AGENDA-21 Centre» also requires consultati-ons of AC.

With the help of several Demonstration objects new possibilities have beencreated in each municipality along with the financial support for the development ofthe Green Coastal Region using unusual approaches, supporting active people in theregion, using environmentally-friendly technologies and methods in construction, se-wage cleaning etc.

Requirements to prepare and confirm the demonstration projects are connectedwith the 4 basic principles of sustainable development:

• Nature protection and development — the project has to be environmental-ly-friendly, saving natural resources, choosing the best possible technologies,using environmentally-friendly materials.

• Economical profitability — local resources (natural, human, cultural, etc.)must be utilised usefully and efficiently (protecting environment and facilita-ting economic development of the territory).

• Social justice — we must first consider the interests of local people alongwith the tourists, respect the needs and interests of professional and socialgroups, create new working places.

• Cultural heritage — finding out about cultural objects, intellectual heritage,cultural traditions, etc., their renewal and usage for the benefit of the localdevelopment.

ZA-21 attîstîbas iespçjas

Lai izzinâtu iedzîvotâju attieksmi, uzklausîtu priekðlikumus, veikta aptauja, rîkotiseminâri, veidots iedzîvotâju Apaïâ galda forums un diskutçts Ilgtspçjîgas attîstîbaskonsultatîvajâ padomç. Jeb, citiem vârdiem, noskaidrots, cik liels ir mûsu kopîgais

potenciâls darboties ilgtspçjîbas virzienâ, cik liela ir vçlme un motivâcija kaut komainît, cik daudz ir ideju un ierosinâjumu.

Projekta teritorijas iedzîvotâji nâkotnç vçlas savu pagastu apdzîvotîbas pieau-gumu ar vairâku paaudþu ìimençm, kurâs ir vismaz trîs bçrni. Cilvçki strâdâs labiatalgotâs darbavietâs, apkârtne bûs sakopta un cilvçki savstarpçji labvçlîgi.

Izglîtîbâ paredz vidusskolas (ìimnâzijas) ar specializâciju (amatniecîbâ,meþsaimniecîbâ, tûrismâ, kultûrâ), darbojas mûzikas un mâkslas skolas, sâkumsko-las, bçrnudârzi, ir tautas universitâte un citas iespçjas turpinât izglîtîbu tepat no-vadâ.

Uzòçmçjdarbîbu iedzîvotâji nâkotnç saista ar mazajiem un vidçjiemuzòçmumiem, nelielâm raþotnçm ar vietçjiem izejmateriâliem, tai skaitâ lauksaim-niecîbâ — ar vidçji lielâm zemnieku saimniecîbâm, pârsvarâ tradicionâlajâ lauk-saimniecîbâ, bet attîstîta arî netradicionâlâ un bioloìiskâ. Tûrisms attîstâms no se-zonâla par visa gada nodarboðanos, visdaþâdâkajâs tâ izpausmçs. Meþsaimniecîbâun kokapstrâdç iedzîvotâji nâkotnç redz valsts un paðvaldîbu pârziòâ esoðus meþusun maksimâlu koksnes pârstrâdi.

Kultûrâ saglabâjas viss jau esoðais un tiek veidoti jauni, novada atpazîstamîbustiprinoði, oriìinâli kultûras pasâkumi.

Sociâlajâ aprûpç darbosies profesionâli mobilie aprûpes dienesti, dienas centri,sociâlâs mâjas u.c.

Dabas vide nedrîkstçtu neko zaudçt no paðreizçjâs kvalitâtes, jâpastâvaizsargâjamâm teritorijâm ar saviem ierobeþojumiem, bet jâdarbojas arî kom-pensâciju mehânismam ekonomisko zaudçjumu segðanai privâtpersonâm, kâ arîsubsîdijâm ainavu veidoðanai, îpaði saudzîga bûs attieksme pret kâpu zonas terito-riju, upju ielejas bûs attîrîtas no piesâròojuma.

Nâkotni iedzîvotâji redz ar interneta pieejamîbu katrâ darbavietâ un mâjâ,izmantojot ðo mûsdienîgo sakaru iespçjas informâcijai, saziòai, sadarbîbai, kassekmç novada ilgtspçjîgu attîstîbu.

Ar dzîves vides kvalitâtes uzlaboðanu pagastâ cilvçki saprot tîrîbu, sakoptîbu,labu dzeramo ûdeni, nepiesâròotus meþus, materiâlo droðîbu, pirktspçjaspalielinâðanos, saturîgus kultûras pasâkumus, kârtîbas ievçroðanu sabiedriskâsvietâs un sadarbîbas veicinâðanu.

Par dzîves vides kvalitâtes uzlaboðanos spriestu pçc atjaunotâm mâjâm,jaunâm darba vietâm, palielinâtâm algâm, tûrisma attîstîbas, demogrâfiskâs si-tuâcijas uzlaboðanâs, attieksmes maiòas, paaugstinâta izglîtîbas un kultûraslîmeòa, asfaltçtiem ceïiem u.tml.

Pagastu attîstîbas mçríus no cilvçku viedokïa varçtu raksturot arî ðâdi:• veselîga pârtika,• veselîga vide,• labs, droðs, patîkams mâjoklis,• darbs, kas apmierina mûsu materiâlâs vajadzîbas, dod saskarsmes iespçjas,

ir interesants,• sabiedriskâ droðîba un kârtîba,• izklaides jeb interesantas brîvâ laika pavadîðanas iespçjas,• iespçja attîstîties personîgi, t.sk. augt garîgi.No iedzîvotâju nâkotnes redzçjuma, problçmu uzskaitîjuma un ieteiktajiem ri-

sinâjumiem var secinât, ka, lai sekmçtu ilgtspçjîgu novada attîstîbu, Ziemeïkur-zemes AGENDA-21 centram jâveido un jâveicina projekti, kas:

• sekmç jaunieðu palikðanu laukos,• veido jaunas darba vietas,• palîdz nelabvçlîgajâm ìimençm,• novçrð nabadzîbu un sekmç labklâjîbu,• palîdz cilvçkiem noticçt labu pârmaiòu iespçjâm,• atbalsta mazos uzòçmumus un saimniecîbas,

• lauksaimniecîbâ îpaði sekmç bioloìisko metoþu lietoðanu,• veido ekotûrisma elementu arvien lielâku îpatsvaru tûrismâ,• sakopj dabas un kultûrvidi,• ievieð skolu programmâs mâcîbu par ilgtspçjîgu attîstîbu, lai skolçni vairâk

izprastu noriðu un lietu kopsakarîbas, gan savâ apkârtnç, gan pasaulç.

Iedzîvotâju forumâ noteiktie rîcîbu virzieni arî ir viens no ZA - 21 turpmâkajiemuzdevumiem: jauni projekti to îstenoðanai sadarbîbâ ar rîcîbu ierosinâtâjiem un AGFdarba grupâm.

Lai veicinâtu projekta tâlejoðâ mçría piepildîjumu un LA - 21 procesaattîstîbu, nepiecieðams:

• Nodroðinât îpaðas organizâcijas (ZA - 21) pastâvçðanu, kas tâlâk attîstîtuLA - 21 kâ sistçmu un nepârtrauktu procesu.

• Veidot jaunus projektus, kas sekmçtu ilgtspçjîbas principu ievieðanu daþâdâsnozarçs un iedzîvotâju ierosmju îstenoðanu.

• Turpinât iedzîvotâju lîdzdalîbu ar Apaïâ galda foruma palîdzîbu (iedzîvotâjulîdzdalîba kâ neatòemama LA - 21 procesa sastâvdaïa).

• Pilnveidot sadarbîbu ar skolâm.• Attîstît Zaïâ novada IA konsultatîvâs padomes darbîbu (konsultâcijas centra

LA - 21 Centre Development Possibilities

A survey has been carried out as well as seminars organised to find out the pu-blic attitude, to listen to the suggestions about further activities. Public Round-tableForum has been formed and discussions held in Advisory Council of Sustainable De-velopment.

By the improvement of the environmental quality people understand clean-ness, tidiness, clean drinking water, unpolluted forests, financial safety, growth ofpurchasing capacity, cultural activities, order in public places and co-operation en-couragement.

Tidy and renovated houses, new working places, bigger salaries, tourism deve-

lopment, improving demographic situation, changing attitude to the natural environ-ment, rising educational and cultural level, asphalted streets would all serve as evi-dence for the improving quality of the living environment.

From the public opinion municipality development objectives could be describedas follows:

• healthy food• healthy environment• good, safe, nice homes• job providing for our material needs, communication and interests• public safety and order• entertainment possibilities• personal or mental development possibilities

From the public future vision North Kurzeme AGENDA-21 Centre can concludethat work should be done promoting projects that:

• encourage young people to stay in the country,• create new working places,• help unfavourable families,• prevent poverty and facilitate welfare,• help people believe in positive changes,• support small businesses and farms,• facilitate using biological methods in farming,• in tourism create a growing proportion of ecotourism elements,• keep in order natural and cultural environment,• introduce the subject of sustainable development in school curriculum to

help students understand the interconnections of things in the local area andin the world.

The main directions of further activities stated in the Round-table Forum is oneof the tasks of LA - 21 Centre: new projects, their implementation in co-ordinationwith the initiators and the work groups of the RTF.

In order to facilitate the fulfilment of the project far-reaching objective and thedevelopment of LA - 21 processes the following activities should be carried out:

• To ensure the existence of a special organisation (LA - 21 Centre) that wouldfurther develop LA - 21 as a system and continuous process.

• To work on new projects facilitating the introduction of the principles of sus-tainability in different areas.

• To continue the public participation with the help of the Round-table Forum(public participation as an integral part of the LA-21 process).

• To improve the co-operation with schools.• To develop the work of the Advisory Council of the Green Coastal Region

(consultation for the LA-21 Centre and co-operation with the institutions clo-sely connected to the development of the region).

The advantages of sustainable development cannot be seen in one or two years.It becomes apparent in a longer period of time providing for a stable development ofthe local government and avoiding different crisis.
