Introduction
• This study examines the current and future
situations of Sustainability and Innovation in
Rural Development in Lithuania, analyzed by
means of SWOT analysis technique.
• Main focus on measures of how to improve
the environment and landscape
• Evaluate positive externalities, contribution of
agriculture, negative factors, with input of
agriculture and physical infrastructure.
3
Environment
• Total surrounding and everything that affects
an organism in his life circle
• Incorporates all physical and biological
surrounding and their interactions
• All living beings exist solely from their
environment
• Environment affects and sometimes dictates
the life of being surrounding it.

Sense of Environement

environmental issues
•
•

•
Global Warming
Dwindling Forest
Energy Resources
Depletion Of Ozone Layer
Loss Of Global Biodiversity ETC

LANDSCAPE
• Landscape means more than just scenery
• "Land" means both a place and the
people living there.
• “Scape” means “to shape” and also
mean association, partnership.
7
• Landscape includes physical elements of
landforms such as mountains, hills, water
bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and the sea
living elements of land cover including
indigenous vegetation, human elements
including different forms of land use,
buildings, structures and transitory elements
such as lighting and weather conditions.
8
Paving in Landscape:
The paving material could be natural or
man-made. man-Made paving are
materials are available in a wide variety
of textures and colors from the region
Industrial roads does not help in keeping
the traditional landscape of the region.
The passage in Landscape is created to
avoid stepping on the grasses and
eliminate hazards from mud's and dust to
form a smooth surface for ease
circulation
9
Stones landscaping:
Brings in a natural element
that evokes solidness and
sense of security

Design of outdoor
public area, Landmarks
and structures to achieve
environmental, socialbehavioral and aesthetic
outcomes

SWOT ANALYSIS
 STRENGTH
 WEAKNESS
 OPPORTUNITY
 THREAT
12
STRENGTHS
• Sustainable communities _
• Encouraging Green Practices
• Land Use _ Sakiai- Has one of the best Arable
land in LT and focuses on traditional
agriculture. Jonava specialization on Fertilizers
because of the comparative advantage.
• High level of participation in community
activities.
13
STRENGTHS
• Well Developed social infrastructure
• Intensive Farming- a small parcel of land is used to
produce a lot of food. it means that the rest of the
land is spared from being cleared for farming.
• Good Use of Ecology _
14
• proper choice of plant material results in a
Landscape that matures quickly and adapt
15
WEAKNESS
• Under utilization of structures and facilities_ Due to
declining population (few or no one to use them)
• Waste _ Recovery and recycling is undeveloped
• Logging _ Destruction of wildlife habitats
• Pollution- Excess use of fertilization in farming
16
• Loss of biodiversity _ As a result of
deforestation
• Deforestation _ clearing of green cover and
make that land available for residential,
industrial or commercial purpose.
17
OPPORTUNITY
• Afforestation _ A law approved by order of the Minister of
Environment and Minister of agriculture No 616/471of 2nd
December 2002. (Valstybes Zinios (State Gazette) No 1-10,
2003) to increase the forest areas in the country by 34% by
2020.
– Encourage private land owners to take advantage of the opportunities
created by EU structural funds to obtain financial assistance for
planting new forests.
• Opportunity to target priority areas _ Specialization Jonava,
Sakiai
• Increased Productivity _ As a result of comparative advantage
18
• Create much better condition for protection of
landscape protection Management, Use and
Planning by way of drafting a special national
landscape management plan.
19
Threats
• Dependant development (relying on continual
subventions /subsidies/ and decisions of external
agents)
• Shortages of funds
• Emigration high skilled personal _Internal and
External
• Distortive development (emphasizing one sector,
selected settlements, one type of business and
neglecting others; did not take into consideration
non-economic aspects of rural life)
• Dictating development (created by external
experts and plan-makers)
20
Vision
• To preserve Landscape biological diversity,
Environmental, cultural heritage values, and
restoration of damaged natural resources and
sustainable use of landscape and biological
diversity by 2020.
21
Mission
• To promote Sound attractive,
accommodating and Safe Environmental
practices that aligns with the unique
landscape identity of ethnographical
regions with sustainable growth and
development of green economy.
22
Problem Tree
23
Fig 1.1
• The problems tree links how the one problem leads to another,
The core problem which is Loss of biodiversity with
attributing causes of dramatic increase in demand for
agricultural produces leading to increase in agricultural land
use has led to conversion of wild lands to croplands, forest
fragmentation results to loss of land area and reduces the
effective reproduction of plant and animals. leading to
extinction of species both in plant and animals and ultimately
have negative effects on the ecosystem. Habitat destruction is
one the important cause of the loss of rainforests biodiversity
as more forest are converted to ranches, degraded woodlands,
scrubland or deserts

Government – Local Authorities,
Municipalities
• Government should play a significant role.
And encouraged the local municipalities
authority, Businesses, Residents and promote
participatory governance and local sustainable
development planning.
26
Businesses – Farmers, Science Institute,
Gulbele
• Businesses and Farmers should be partners and
helping
environmental
issues
through
environmental friendly production line, health
and safety sustainable development.
27
Residents, Indigenous, Youths
• The Indigenous residents people should be
engaged and encouraged on the biological
diversity and creation of forests.
• Space should be designed for the youth to
increased opportunities for the next generation
and has the chance to challenge the current
generation on their pace and perspectives to
move toward a more sustainable way of living.
28
Objectives and strategy
• Loss of biodiversity
– Aim - Increase biological diversity, Sustainable
Environment and restoration of damaged natural
resources.
• Priorities
– Promotes awareness and Enact and enforce law
– Keep Permanent funds for biodiversity
• Objectives
– Encourage and support afforestation, And maintain
ecology
– promote civil responsibility towards biodiversity
29
Conclusion
• A failure to close the gap between the magnitude
of the challenges in landscape management and
the scale of its responses. As a result, there is a
depleting on natural heritage and betraying
future generations, moreover The threat to our
landscapes concerns urban parks and suburban
gardens as well as our farmlands and national
parks. It will pose a challenge for all Lithuanians,
including the urban populations and not just
those who 'work the land'.

Conclusion - EAFRD
• 2014-2020:
• The European Agricultural Fund for Rural
development (EAFRD) shall contribute to the Europe
2020 Strategy by promoting sustainable rural
development throughout the Union in a manner that
complements the other instruments of the CAP, the
cohesion policy and the common fisheries policy. It
shall contribute to the development of a Union
agricultural sector that is more territorially and
environmentally balanced, climate-friendly and
resilient and competitive and innovative. It shall also
contribute to the development of rural territories.
31
Conclusion
• Sustainability of economic activities and
environment depends on social viability of
communities. Therefore environmental protection
has its social dimension and depends on vitality of
rural communities (healthy environment does not
exist in “unhealthy” society). Thus; It is
paramount to encourage proactive participation
and involvement by all stakeholders including
government bodies, private sector, local
communities, NGOs, youth so on.
