A Landscape System Analysis

A.1 Landscape layers and their system context

Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology

• Description of evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the coastal typology changing? Why is that? (approx 200 signs)
• add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Land use

• settlements, infrastructure, agriculture, resource extraction, natural areas, energy production...
• description of evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the land use likely to change? Why is that? (approx 200 signs)
• add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Historically, Kopli peninsula was covered by an oak forest. At the beginning of the 20 century, the Russian Embassy decided to establish a new military fleet (port of war, maritime security and shipbuilding facilities). As a result, port and industry area are present at the end of the peninsula and on its South side. Between those two areas (in purple on pictures), a huge tree-filled with private houses along the coast have an access to the sea (green on pictures).

In the land use maps from Copernicus, we can see how the port area (pink) present in 1990 turned off nowadays in a mixed area of industrial or commercial activities (purple), keeping the port activities and at the same time and have taken more space at the discontinue medium density urban area (red). We can imagine a future going to the opposite where industries go away in order to give an access to the see as before, thanks to the potential in place in the area."

Green/blue infrastructure

• What are the major potential elements of a green/blue infrastructure network? Are these likely to change/disappear? Why is that?
• You find my background material on green infrastructure in our reading list
• add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Actors and stakeholders

• Who is driving changes in this landscape? Who is affected by those changes?
• Draw a stakeholder and/or power map: Who is affected highly but with low power? Who has high power but is not affected?

• 

  As it can be seen in the map, many monuments are located in our project area of the Professors village. The area used to be a huge forest on the outskirts of the inner city, but at the beginning of the 20th century, the peninsula became more and more an industrial area. For military defense large shipyards were built, in which among other things submarines and military ships were manufactured.

• 

  Some of the industrial buildings are still preserved and recognized as heritage buildings. In total, there are around 27 heritage buildings and one historical monument in our working area. However, not only the yards (including e.g. the Bekker shipyard and the Russian-Baltic shipyard) were built, but entire settlements rised around them. They offered apartments and even schools, shopping and other facilities for the workers and their families.

• 

  In particular, the residential buildings of factory officials, managers and engineers are still in a good condition and attractive sights. The beautiful, mostly wooden houses are valued by the city as an important part of Tallinns cultural heritage. This is also were the name of Professors village comes from. Most of the monuments are empty today, but a few are still used: for example the main factory building of the Russian-Baltic shipyard is occupied by the Estonian Maritime Academy today.
