Heritage for Planet Earth 2018: Abstract Book 2018
Uģis Bratuškins, Sandra Treija

Nevertheless of the processes having caused significant changes in the planning structure or use of the public space of the historical parts of many European cities during the 20th century, the scale of the medieval space and the nature of the built-up environment mostly has remained. Increasing global interest to cultural history and increasingly easy travel conditions and opportunities result in growing number of visitors of historical sites, thus directly affecting medieval city centres. The diverse functional processes that satisfy the needs of all users of urban space in general, on the one hand carry function of circulation or communication, and on the other – relaxation or recreation. Research shows that the various priorities of the use of public spaces in urban centers overlap creating multifunctional diverse environment.
