	*''~~Which places/elements hold cultural value~~ and ~~to whom?''~~		*''A traditional Estonian folktale A tells of the birth of the Emajõgi River. When Grandfather created the world, it was a good place to live, but soon the animals were fighting with one another. Grandfather called all the animals together and said: "I can see that you need a king who will control you. To welcome him you must dig a deep, wide river into which all other rivers can flow. The name of the river will be Emajõgi." The animals did as grandfather told them, and he poured water into the river, gave it life with his breath and determined its course. This is how Emajõgi was created.''
	* ''You may add a ~~map~~ and ~~some images~~, ~~please also explain in your caption why these elements are valuable~~''

	*'~~''Social groups''' from within~~ the community, for ~~example~~ the ~~youth, kids, students, parents~~, the ~~retired etc~~. ~~Typically, these groups have specific needs~~, which ~~you~~ can ~~also make explicit on the map~~. ~~These people might not be organized in any way, but~~ they ~~are usually present in the context you are observing~~		*After World War II, community mapping for the Emajogi River's frontal part went through a lot of alterations. The Soviet era resulted in a Russian community in Estonia alongside the Estonian community, resulting in a mixed culture. Tartu is considered a student city since it has two large universities (Tartu University and Estonian University of Life Sciences), which have resulted in a large student community in the city. The area upstream of the Emajogi River is well-known for the bars and cafes in the city center, which lies near the river's western bank. As a result, there is a distinct diverse society. <br />'''Social Groups''' '''Families''' which most probably prefer places where they can enjoy their time with their kids in friendly places where they can do some activities. '''Kids''' where they can do some scholar activities and some playgrounds. '''Teenagers''' tend to go to places where it’s private and with some outdoor activities. '''University students''' prefer to have spaces with activities within river banks. <br />'''Local stakeholder groups''' '''University''' which is most of them are accessed to the river as University of Tartu Art Museum or it’s located on the water as University of Tartu Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. '''Schools''' The schools use the green/blue structure for education and for activities such as field trips and they are located near the Emajõgi River '''Sports Park''' which is a main outdoor recreational activity place for families and teenagers and even the university student '''Youth club''' which is mainly for the canoeing club which is located on the eastern bank of the Emajõgi River '''Market''' Tartu Market Hall is the main local market in Tartu which is located near to Riia bridge which is the main bridge in Tartu
	* '''Local stakeholder groups'''~~: these groups~~ are ~~organized in one~~ or the ~~other way~~. ~~They only exist within~~ the ~~community context you~~ are ~~observing. For example:~~ the ~~local community center, local churches, local interest groups, the landowners, small businesses and retailers~~
	*'''~~External stakeholder groups~~''' ~~are not necessarily present in~~ the ~~environment you are observing, but they may have strong stakes and interests. These can be local authorities, politicians, associations, care services etc.~~
	* For each group, you may identify their '''~~needs, objectives, power and capacities~~'''
	* You may also identify gaps and '''~~power conflicts~~'''
	* Please try to redepict these elements in ~~an integrated way and in relation~~ to ~~your water landscape. What~~ is the ~~relationship between these groups? Are they close or distanced from each other? Who is more powerful? Which voices are hardly heard? Do they have any shared concerns?~~

			*''According to Kõrs et al, 2012, the dominating species in Emajõgi river are: Glyceria maxima (in spring and autumn) that prefer wide and deep rivers, and in summer (July-August), Nuphar lutea, Butomus umbellatus and Sagittaria sagittifolia, those plants grow mostly in shallow water (0-0.8m). But in general, instability is a characteristic feature of the river vegetation, being that those are the most resistant plants, but in general most of the species that can be observed along the river can change year to year. And this composition can be affected because of the water temperature and level fluctuation, but also disturbance of spring floods and heavy boat traffic. ''

	*''~~Which~~ habitats ~~can be found~~ in and ~~along~~ the water ~~areas~~ of ~~your area?~~''		*''There are many species found along the Emajõgi River both in the city center and nearest natural areas. They have different behaviors, diets and life cycles, but they often are dependent on water bodies and plant diversity. In the Emajogy river we can see that the biggest animal variety is in the habitats with high vegetation next to the water bodies - in Anne cannal, Botanical garden and Suppillina lake. Many animals need long, dense vegetation for hiding, transit, and hunting, they live in habitats suitable for that.''
	*''~~How is~~ the water ~~quality~~ in ~~your~~ water ~~areas?~~''		*''Many birds are nesting near the water bodies during mating seasons and use a big variety of plants for nests. Usually they use soft plants, branches, flowers, etc. For example Remiz pendulinus, that was recorded in the northern part of Emajogi river, uses branches of willow, elm or betula, that are common in Tartu.''
	*''~~Which areas~~ are ~~still natural~~, ~~which are urbanized/artificial?~~''		*''Tall trees with dense foliage serve as hiding/nesting places for birds, like Pica pica, Corvus frugilegus, Dendrocopos medius and mammals, for example Sciurus vulgaris that lives in tree hollows.''
			*''Life cycle of amphibians and reptiles are closely connected to the fresh water bodies. Animals like bufo bufo, rana temporaria lay egg in the water, which later hatch into tadpoles. After several months of growth and development, these sprout limbs and undergo metamorphosis into tiny toads/frogs. The juveniles emerge from the water and remain largely terrestrial for the rest of their lives.''
			*''Several species of mammals have been recorded in Tartu near Emajogy river. One of them is castor fiber or eurasion beaver. They build dens in the rivers and ponds, their diet mainly consists of soft deciduous trees like willow and birch. Lutra lutra is an endangered species in Estonia, but there are several records of them in Tartu. They are territorial carnivorous animals that live near the coastline. They need large individual territory and can compete with each other if there are shortages of food.''
			*''Insects play an important role in the biological chain - they provide food for birds, small mammals and pollinate the plants. But some need specific plants, for example, Aglais urticae butterflies and caterpillars feed on Urtica dioica and Urtica urens. ''
