    Urban sprawl in the post-soviet sphere in comparison of Lviv (Ukraine) and Riga (Latvia)
    (Eesti Maaülikool, 2017) Benovska, Mariya; Bell, Simon (juhendaja); Maastikuarhitektuur
    Eastern European countries were under the influence of communist regime for decades. However, after the dissolution of Soviet Union, some countries have joined the EU, but some of them remained to stand aloof. Different directions of political and spatial developments significantly affected the spatial pattern, economic prosperity and human preferences. The aim of this work is to investigate processes triggering an expansion of post-soviet cities, define patterns of sprawling areas with the emphasis on peri-urban by taking 2 strategical cities Lviv, Ukraine and Riga, Latvia as case studies. Data for the research was collected through map analyses and information studies about the areas. The methodology was divided into three parts. Stage one was the analysis of aspects in each case-study city that deals with the spatial development and affects these spatial processes. Stage two was the assessment of urban sprawl in selected areas of each case-study city. Stage three was the comparison of achieved results from stage one and two between all selected areas. The findings show that all selected areas are sprawling, but in different degrees. The main causes of the phenomenon are changes of human preferences and household structures, economic growth, weak plan-ning and population decline. Both cities and its regions will confront in near future with the spatial and economic issues.
