Introduction I
•
Governance environment
•
Governance environment is an important pilar in successful implementation of
environmental governance and in ensuring sustainable development of a territory,
•
Governance development is important in the context of TM2
•
Coastal specifics
•
Environmental governance theoretical basis
– As in any other territory, the interests of nature and the social and economic interests
of man often collide, and the more so in the coastal area with its ecological, cultural
and historical specifics and appeal. In addition, there are often land and sea conflicts in
the coastal area, and man is in the middle of this conflicting environment.
– Development of environmental governance is viewed through the collaboration
governance principle as integrated and balanced governance of nature-social
environment interaction;
– TM 1 Module both outlines enviromental governance concept on vertical and
horizontal integration, cyclic planning and implementation process, key approaches, and
describes the contents of environmental governance – i.e. 8 target groups, thematic
sectors and 6 environmental governance dimensions.

Introduction II
•
Focussing practical implementation of environmental governance to the local level,
research is directed at local municipalities taking into account their specifics.
•
Coastal management implementation at the local level comprises activities by all
key interest groups and scope of their interests, focussing in particular on two key
target groups:
– Municipality on one side, selecting development planning and ICZM approach
– Resident (household) action development on the other side - acting both in their
internal environment and also affecting and participating in maintaining the external
environment.
•
In studying the interaction of the top-down and bottom-up approaches, five
concepts are realised in TM1module:
–
–
–
–
1. environmental governance concept and approaches
2. municipal action development and ICZM,
3. residents and household environmental management
4. indicators – how to mutually assess progress of actions on every level (resident,
municipal) towards sustainability;
– 5. specific cases – ICZM case studies carried out in a particular municipality, and
recommendations are given to municipality on further development of the territory.

Introduction to sustainable coastal
development
Theoretical framework of environmental governance includes
4P cycle model, 8 target groups, 6 environmental governance
dimensions, 8 thematic sectors;
Coastal zones as vulnerable and densely populated areas
are in special need of good environmental governance
practice implementation; several examples and studies
have been carried out on the development of such territories.

Sustainable coastal management definition
•
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a dynamic,
multi-disciplinary and iterative process to promote sustainable
management of coastal zones.
•
"Integrated" in ICZM refers to the integration of objectives
and also to the integration of the many instruments needed to
meet these objectives. It means integration of all relevant
policy areas, sectors, and levels of administration. It means
integration of the terrestrial and marine components of the
target territory, in both time and space.

1.4. Key tools for ICZM
•
Legislation
– state legislation, local regulatory documents
•
Planning
– development strategies and sector plans, spatial planning
•
Economics and finance
– participation in state programmes, attraction of international
funds, rational budget planning, strengthening of taxation
framework
•
Infrastructure
– traffic routes, tourism and recreation facilities, nature and
landscape protection, facilitated areas
•
Communication
– website development, local information systems

1.6. Indicators as part of local governance
planning
• Documentation of IS, prepared at initial and implementation stages of the
indicator system, is a relatively independent part for a municipality's
development strategy. It could be designed as a handbook, containing:
– short overall description of the indicator system,
– standard indicator form set.
• List of indicators with brief descriptions could be prepared for publishing
on municipality website.
– Full indicator and system report contains:
– reports for separate indicators,
– common assessment of sustainability and other key conclusions.
• Public report on indicators could be designed as an illustrated and welldesigned fact sheet.
• Public report could be prepared as an appendix to annual municipality
report and contain:
– a set of fact-sheets for separate indicators,
– common assessment of sustainability and other key conclusions.
• The main difference between the full and public reports is in the form of
explanation and terminology.

Environmental governance definition
Evironmental governance is a subsequent cyclic development of
environmental problem solutions policy and implementation planning, action
programming and implementation of specific projects as a systemic whole,
which ensures realisation of the key environmental management functions in
national and municipal, household and corporate management, in close
co-operation among all governmental, non-governmental and professional
interest groups.

Environmental management cycle
• Key functions in environmental governance:
– assessment of specific environmental problems caused through natural and
social environment interaction,
– alternative solutions planning,
– planning of adopted decision; implementation and control functions.
– Environmental governance based on 4P model.

Introduction
• Integrated management is the most successful and up-todate method for sustainable governance in the coastal
zone. The integrated management method, unlike the
traditional branch management method, deals not only
with branch analysis but also includes branch interfaces
(integrative problem areas) and concentrates directly on
solving identified problems.
• This chapter reports on the basics of the integrated
management method and is illustrated with cases from
management practice.

Sustainable coastal management definition
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a dynamic, multidisciplinary and iterative process to promote sustainable management of
coastal zones.
"Integrated" in ICZM refers to the integration of objectives and also to
the integration of the many instruments needed to meet these
objectives. It means integration of all relevant policy areas, sectors, and
levels of administration. It means integration of the terrestrial and
marine components of the target territory, in both time and space.

Indicators for sustainable development
Sustainable development is a very complex process. It can be measured
correctly only when the numerous variable factors are taken into account.
It can be done with the help of the indicator method, where any indicator
is a strictly formalised numeric value or group of similar values. Indicators
are linked in a logical system and their measurements let us judge the
overall sustainability or success in individual sectors.
This chapter reports on the principles of designing an indicator and
indicator systems and provides illustrations from practical experience
cases.

Why indicators?
An indicator is something that helps you understand where
you are, which way you are going and how far you are from
where you want to be. A good indicator alerts you to a
problem before it gets too bad and helps you recognize what
needs to be done to fix the problem. … They allow you to
see where the problem areas are and help show the way to
fix those problems.”
(Maureen Hart, 2006).

Systems of indicators:
• Allow separating general and specific (coastal in our case)
information
• Allow demonstrating different facets of common processes
• Analysis of various indicators in their interrelations allows
making integrative decisions

Indicators and stakeholders
• Elaboration of an indicator system embodies one of the most effective
forms of public participation because:
– indicators offer new information for the public,
– elaboration of indicators, data gathering and calculation involves
somebody possessing important information.
• Indicator initiative processes are not less significant than the result –
the elaborated indicators.
• Indicators are a tool of information helping to simplify it, determine
priorities for data gathering and provide an opportunity of good visual
display for calculated information. A selected set of indicators is part
of the data flow that can be used for qualitative decisions and wellplanned activities. Thus, the process of elaboration of indicators and
an indicator set is directly connected to strategic development
planning.

Indicator as an element of communication
• Clearly defined by matter – formulating values with real significance
(household income, etc.).
• With political meaning for all forces forming the political system for a
given level of governance.
• Getting an appropriate overview of situation – not too much and not
too little.
• Interesting, challenging stakeholders to take specific measures.
• Democratic – the public must know the results of measurements
done by experts; results must be accessible.
• Complementary and involving the public – selection and calculation of
indicators is the task of professionals, but measuring and discussion
can and must be public.
• Open for discussions, changes and development.

Introduction
The aim of this chapter is to introduce issues related to household sustainable
consumption development in Latvia.
The household is the first life-cycle environment and households are the main
consumer sector in Latvia. At the same time, in realizing sustainable
consumption, households are influenced by various factors and actors in the
external environment as well as internal.
Household environmental management development in Latvia needs to be
promoted with a systemic approach.

Characteristics of coastal zone in Saulkrasti
• Coastal zone is the main geospatial factor impacting Saulkrasti municipality
development, presenting the largest possibilities and simultaneously
creating significant problems. Most of coastal problems have a legislative
solution, but it does not solve the whole spectrum of problems.
• The key factor promoting entrepreneurship – Skulte port. Relatively large
impact of seasonality. Other entrepreneurship is not affected considerably
by coastal presence, but has all the possibilities to use it to its advantage.
• The infrastructure of tourism is not closely integrated with the coastal
zone. However, the close seashore and seasonality are the key factors
impacting their activities. Only some objectives of tourism are principally
and closely connected with the seashore.

Characteristics of coastal zone in Saulkrasti
• Clean-up and maintenance work is done in summer on the seashore, incl.
environmentally friendly actions. Current problems: seasonal littering in
coastal dunes and other forest areas, mechanical loads (trampling down,
etc.).
• Water supply and sewage networking area reconstruction and
enlargement. High level of information to residents about it. Networking
is insufficient and in a bad technical condition.
• The significancy of seashore and internal waters is neglected in the town's
and municipality's symbolic representations. Opportunities afforded by the
seashore, apart from some mass events at summer, are reflected in the
cultural environment unsatisfactorily.

ICZM in Saulkrasti municipality as good
practice case
• Identification of integrative problem areas as a significant
stage in integrated planning process
• Possible to measure sustainability of coastal development
processes with a corresponding system of indicators – for
the first time in national practice!
• Full planning cycle “4P” supported
• Numerous possible demonstration projects as idea store
• ICZM approach model project as sample for other coastal
zone municipalities
