The plan is designed to improve the quality of roads of regional importance infrastructure development and tourism in the Il\u016bkste area.\nThis document encourages the initiation of serious cultural landscape research for Il\u016bkste. The scale of the existing Daugavpils development, the visibility and proximity of the city do not weaken and create strong competition for Il\u016bkste, but on the contrary - strengthen the revival of Il\u016bkste as a historic centre alongside a large-scale settlement. That means that on opposite banks of the Daugava there are two different urban spaces with different cultural and historical layers and scales.\nThe preservation of cultural heritage is increasingly being discussed in the forums of the European Union, highlighting the values that are being lost in warfare and in the wastefulness of national economic policies. The problem of heritage conservation is also present in areas where there is no war, but where mistakes have been made due to the ineptitude of the political authorities. This is also true of the Latvian Awakening in the 1990s, when, after the occupation, \"business as usual\" still continued. With the collapse of collectivisation and the development of private enterprise, no attention was paid to the concepts of landscape, viewpoints, silhouettes, landmarks, climaxes, etc. The smaller the scale of the cultural landscape, the deeper the cracks of neglect that are left in the cultural landscape. The small town of Il\u016bkste is one example in Latvia.\nThe loss of the intrinsic spatiality of a historic small town risks transforming not only the perception of place and people at a local level, but also at a regional and national level, thereby changing the character and uniqueness of a nation's living space.\nNatural and man-made elements are constantly changing, seeking to adapt. Biological processes, economic and political power, generational change, rapid technological development can all influence the development of an area. As one changes, another is subjected to change, resulting in a complete or partial transformation. This is most evident in small towns, which have long been subject to political change and the outflow of the younger generation to the metropolises. Historical space is thus also surrounded by indifference and neglect. The current municipality of Il\u016bkste has energetically set to work to recover the historic identity of the settlement, conscious of both the revival of the former Jesuit church and convent and the dismantling or renovation of aesthetically poor-quality buildings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22616\/j.landarchart.2023.22.05","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,27]],"date-time":"2024-01-27T23:55:28Z","timestamp":1706399728000},"page":"52-58","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Transformation of the historical heritage and spatial perception of Il\u016bkste"],"prefix":"10.22616","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7096-5850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aija","family":"Zieme\u013cniece","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"9905","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"Development Plan of the Upper Daugava Region 2022-2027 Daugavpils City Council, 2022."},{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"Chancellery of the President of Latvia, State Heraldry Commission, 2008.
