Description

Description (LT):

Bendras projekto tikslas yra atkurti viešąsias teritorijas, kuriose yra aplinkosaugos problemų, ir sukurti jose poilsio teritorijas gyventojams. Biržų (LT) ir Duobelės (LV) miestų bendras teritorinis iššūkis yra gyventojų poilsio infrastruktūros trūkumas, tuo tarpu abu miestai turi užterštų teritorijų: Duobelės teritorija padengta apie 0,5 m griovimo ir kitų atliekų sluoksniu, o Biržų regioninio parko projekto teritorijose yra apleistų pastatų, senų rūsių ir krūmais apaugusių vietovių. Kadangi šios vietos yra arti kultūros paveldo objektų, partneriams reikia juos sutvarkyti, kad jie būtų patrauklūs lankytojams ir papildytų esamus objektus. Be to, nauji požiūriai į degradavusių vietovių plėtrą yra taikomi skirtinguose regionuose, tačiau žiniomis ir patirtimi nėra plačiai dalijamasi. Todėl reikalingas tarpusavio bendradarbiavimas siekiant įgyti, kaupti ir taikyti šias žinias. Projekto metu bus sutvarkytas 1,38 ha užterštas plotas Biržų teritorijoje ir 3,46 ha – Duobelėje, kurie bus paversti vietos gyventojų poilsio erdvėmis su smulkiais infrastruktūros elementais – apšvietimu, suolais, fontanu. Tikimasi, kad sutvarkytomis rekreacinėmis zonomis naudosis 1/3 kiekvieno miesto gyventojų, tai yra apie 8000 žmonių. Projektas taip pat numato keitimąsi gerąją patirtimi Suomijos Kotkos mieste bei dvi Biržų ir Duobelės pasienio regionų konferencijas dėl žaliųjų teritorijų išlaikymo ir plėtros, remiantis patirtimi, įgyta vykdant projekto investicinę veiklą.

Description (LV):

Projekta mērķis ir reģenerēt publiskās teritorijas ar vides problēmām un attīstīt tās kā atpūtas zonas iedzīvotājiem. Kopīgs teritoriālais izaicinājums Biržu (LT) un Dobeles (LV) pilsētām ir atpūtas infrastruktūras trūkums iedzīvotājiem, lai gan abās pilsētās ir piesārņotās teritorijas: Dobelē teritorija ir klāta ar celtniecības un citiem atkritumiem ~0.5 m biezā slānī, savukārt Biržu Reģionālā parka teritorijā atrodas pamestas ēkas, veci pagrabi, kā arī pārauguši krūmi. Tā kā šīs vietas atrodas tuvu kultūras mantojuma objektiem, partneriem ir nepieciešams tās atjaunot tādā veidā, lai tās būtu pievilcīgas apmeklētājiem un papildinātu esošos kultūras mantojuma objektus. Lai gan jaunas pieejas degradēto teritoriju attīstībā ir izmantotas dažādos reģionos, tomēr zināšanas un pieredze nav nodota plašai publikai. Tādēļ, lai iegūtu, uzkrātu un izmantotu šīs zināšanas, ir nepieciešama pārrobežu sadarbība. Projekta ietvaros tiks attīrīta teritorija 1,38 ha platībā Biržos (LT) un 3,46 ha platībā Dobelē (LV), un tā tiks pārvērsta par atpūtas zonu vietējiem iedzīvotājiem ar apgaismojumu, soliņiem un strūklaku. Plānots, ka jaunizveidotās atpūtas zonas izmantos 1/3 no katras pilsētas iedzīvotājiem, kas kopā ir aptuveni 8000 iedzīvotāju. Projekts paredz pieredzes apmaiņu ar Kotkas (Somija) pilsētas speciālistiem par zaļo teritoriju uzturēšanu un attīstīšanu, balstoties uz projekta investīciju aktivitātēs gūto pieredzi, kā arī divas pārrobežu konferences Dobelē (LV) un Biržos (LT).

Description (EN):

The overall objective of the project is to regenerate public areas with environmental problems and develop them into recreational areas for inhabitants. The common territorial challenge of Birzai (LT) and Dobele (LV) cities is the lack of recreational infrastructure for inhabitants, while both cities have contaminated areas: the territory in Dobele is covered by ~0.5 m layer of demolition and other waste, and there are abandoned buildings, old basements, and areas overgrown by bushes in the project territories in Birzai Regional Park. As these sites are close to cultural heritage objects the partners need to restore them so that they would be attractive for visitors and supplement existing objects. Also, although the new approaches in development of degraded areas have been applied in different regions, the knowledge and experience are not widely disseminated. Therefore, there is a need for cross-order cooperation in order to acquire, accumulate and apply this knowledge. The project will eliminate contamination in 1,38 ha area in Birzai, and 3,46 ha in Dobele, convert it to recreational area for the local people, and develop small infrastructure there – lighting, benches, fountain. It is expected, that the converted recreational areas will be used by 1/3 of population of each city, which makes about 8000 people. The Project also foresees exchange of know-how with Kotka city in Finland as well as two cross-border conferences in Birzai and Dobele on maintaining and developing of green areas based on experience acquired in projects’ investment activities.

Achievements (EN):

The objective of the project to regenerate public areas with environmental problems and to develop them into recreational areas is achieved. Territory of 3.46 ha in Dobele (Pļavas 3) has been cleaned from contamination. Territory improvement, including construction of a public toilet, lighting, 10 benches, paths, a fountain and amphitheater on the revitalized territory is finished. Amphitheater is used for public events – concerts, performances, flash mobs and sports trainings. Old garages near Biržai Regional Park administration building were teared down and new extension of exhibition hall has been built to host mineral collection. Also area (1.38 ha) on Basanavičiaus g. was cleared of the old foundation and landscaped with paths and 3 benches. Installed one informative stand. People living close to the sites and 1/3 of residents of both towns benefit from the project. Two art workshops for children in Biržai, LT and Dobele, LV was organised with the following exhibition in order to inform the public about the new objects created in the project. Two cross-border conferences increased knowledge about developing of areas with environmental problems, contributed to cross-border cooperation to acquire, accumulate and apply this knowledge. Presentations in Latvian and Lithuanian can be found here:. – https://www.dobele.lv/lv/content/landclean Partners got acquainted with and gained experience in brownfield management in the city of Kotka (Finland), shared the gained experience in both conferences, where representatives of more than 10 institutions from Latvia and Lithuania participated.

Expected Results (EN): Number of households not facing pollution, grime and other municipal environmental problems

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project result is ~ 40 households not facing pollution, grime and other municipal environmental problems in Birzi, LT and Dobele, LV. Those households are located in close distance to the sites. However, since the area included into Dobele project part is next to Dobele Music school, therefore, 218 pupils and their parents are also benefitting from the project. The calculation is made that 1/3 of inhabitants of each city is benefitting from the regenerated area - in Dobele 3371 (1/3 of 10113 inhabitants) and in Birzi - 4593 (1/3 of 13780 inhabitants) since the territories are located near the city centres. Regenerated territories, located near the cultural heritage objects, will attract more tourists, since the infrastructure for nature tourism will be developed. The increase in number of tourists are planned of ~10% each year in both project partner cities.
