The processes of spatial dynamics in urban and rural landscapes have a historical appropriateness. A concept spatial dynamic tourism as an alternative tourism based on the studies of culturally and socially contextual spatial footprints, which are appropriate for the landscapes of the Baltic and Nordic countries. Revealing of common values and identities reduces the social and cultural distances between the Baltic and Nordic countries, which in the previous times, especially the World War II and before, interacted actively, e.g. Latvia and Sweden, Lithuania and Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden. Thus, the examination of urban and rural landscapes in each partner country is being intended to reveal evidence based common values and identities.
A combination of both approaches in the studies of urban and rural landscapes countries promote to determine common identities and values for better social and cultural cohesion through the creation of cultural tourism products in the form of spatial dynamic tourism routes created through informal adults’ education.
