Kettle holes, ged from rock material which was loosened, crushed steep hollows in eskers are characteristic of the Ro- and ground by the ice. kua landscape. They emerged when large lumps of ice buried in the sand, melted down. Typically, the kettle holes are long and narrow, and their depth may vary from just a couple of metres to as much as 50 m (about 150 ft). The deepest kettle holes can be found at the Pookivaara area, and often there is a pond or a lake at the bottom, examples of which are Pitkäjärvi, Hätä- järvi, Saarinen and Kiviahveroinen to name a few. The Finnish drift sand formations emerged soon after the withdrawal of the ice sheet approximately 10,000 to 9,000 years ago. The dunes ceased to move when covered with vegetation. Also known as fossi- lised dunes, they occur in connection with glacifl uvial formations. Being about 18 km (11 miles) long and 1.5 to 5 km (1 to 3 miles) wide the Rokua dune fi eld is one of the best-known inland dune formations in Finland. The dunes have been shaped by westerly and north-westerly winds and they are, although forested over the years, still quite clearly visible.

Fore sts Together with cetraria lichen and island cetraria lichen The Rokua area is part of the mid-boreal Ostroboth- nia-Kainuu forest zone. Almost the entire area of the Rokua National Park is covered with dry lichen-rich forests on a sand bed. Dry forests with black crowber- ry and heather type of vegetation are also common. Some patches of damper forest types occur only at ponds. The dominant tree is (Scotch) pine (Pinus sylvest- ris), but white and silver birches (Betula pubescens and pendula), aspen (Populus tremula), grey and black alder (Alnus incana and glutinosa), as well as rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) are also found in the approximity of lakes and ponds. Lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria majalis) (Cetraria ericetorum and islandica) reindeer lichen and greygreen reindeer lichen (Cladina arbuscula and rangiferina) are quite common. Populations of star reindeer lichen (Cladina stellaris) are best preserved in the National Park area. ”Snow lichen” (Cetraria niva- lis) and cup lichen (Cladonia sp.) are also common. Of the mosses, the most common species are Schreber’s big red stem moss (Pleurozium schreberi) splendid feather moss (Hylocomium splendens), and various types of polytrichum moss (Polytrichum sp.) and dicranum moss (Dicranum sp.). Rokua serves as a good example of a lichen-covered dry soil that grows intact outside the reindeer management area that is situated further north.

  • OULUJOEN HISTORIAA Vaala – Nuojua Ulkoilureitti
    OULUJOEN HISTORIAA Vaala – Nuojua ulkoilureitti LUMMAN LENKKI Reittiesite Oulujoki Oulujoki muodostaa alimman osan Oulujoen vesistöstä. Vesistö jakautuu kahtia Oulujärven kohdalla, joka on Suomen neljänneksi suurin järvi. Oulujär- veen vesiä tuovat Hyrynsalmen ja Sotkamon reittivedet sekä muutama vähäi- sempi joki. Oulujärvestä vedet purkautuvat Vaalankurkun kautta Oulujokeen, joka laskee lopulta Oulun kaupungin halki Perämereen. Pituutta joella on 106 km ja kor- keuseroa 122 metriä. Oulujokeen laskee neljä isompaa sivujokea, jotka ovat ylhäältä lukien: Kutu-, Utos-, Muhos- ja Sanginjoki. Luonnontilainen Oulujoki oli kuuluisa koskistaan. Kuuluisin koskista oli Pyhä- koski, joka oli 17 kilometriä pitkä ja putouskorkeutta sillä oli 56 metriä. Pyhä- koski on ollut Suomen korkein ja pisin koski. Oulujoen ylin koskijakso Vaalas- sa, Niskakoski, puolestaan putosi 31 metriä yhdeksän kilometrin matkalla ja- kautuen seitsemään erilliskoskeen: Kauko, Jylhämä (kuvassa), Siitari, Oter- ma, Pyterä, Kovera ja Nuojua. Koskenlasku Oulujoen hurjien koskien pärskeissä oli monella turistilla matkan kohokohta. Nyt Oulujoen mahtavat kosket on kesytetty vesivoimalaitosten avulla. 1 Kalaisa Oulujoki houkutteli asutusta jo kivikauden aikana. Myöhemminkin se on tarjonnut leipää alueen ihmisille monella eri tavalla. Tärkeitä elinkeinoja ovat olleet esimerkiksi kalastus, uitto ja tervasoutu. Myös tervanpolttoa ja rau- taruukkitoimintaa on koskivoimalla harjoitettu. Lohi on houkutellut urheiluka- lastajia Oulujoen koskille jo 1800-luvulla, joten matkailuelinkeinonkin juuret ovat täällä syvällä. Oulujoen koskien rakentamisen myötä moni asia on muut- tunut. Asutus Oulujoella Asutus alkoi n. 8800-8000 vuotta sitten niillä alueilla, jotka siihen mennessä olivat ehtineet kohota jääkauden jälkeen merestä. Oulujokivarren kivikautisis- ta löydöistä suurin osa on tehty Vaalan kunnan alueella: asuinpaikkoja on löydetty noin 50 ja kiviesineitä lähes 500. Kivikaudella asuinpaikka valittiin veden luota, mutta ei mielellään aavan ulapan ääreltä.

  • Paltamo Full Employment Experiment: an Application of The
    Paltamo Full Employment Experiment: An Application of the Synthetic Control Method Kosti Takala∗ February 26, 2015 Abstract In this paper I study the effects of the Paltamo Full Employment Experiment, an activation measure for the unemployed which combines their prior unemployment benefits and a bonus into a salary. Thus, the unemployed have to work for their benefits unless they are willing to go on social assistance. To estimate the effects on unemployment and on the related benefits and allowances, I employ the synthetic control method to construct counterfactuals for Paltamo, a Finnish municipality in which the experiment was run from 2009 to 2013. I find that there was a real and statistically significant drop in unemployment and related benefits that lasted throughout the experiment. However, the experiment ended up costing more to the government than what could be retrieved through savings in benefit payments. Keywords: Labor market experiment, Unemployment, Synthetic control method ∗Department of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [email protected] 1 1 INTRODUCTION 2 1 Introduction The ever aging Finnish population means more dependents (children and pensioners, but mostly pensioners) and, therefore, more allowances, benefits and pensions to cover by the efforts of a stagnating labor force. Add to the equation a high unemployment, especially in the long term, and its related (generous) benefits and health problems, and you get a government deficit tantamount to a house of cards waiting to collapse, unless something can be done to the different costs stemming from unemployment. To tackle the above problem, many countries have implemented measures such as active labor market policies, the scale and evaluation of which has been inadequate.

  • 2007 Background Main Results at the Oulujoki River
    RESTORING SALMON INTO OULURIVER Main results of the project OuLo, 2006 - 2007 Background The idea of restoring migratory fish upstream of the dams in the River Oulujoki has been raised since the successful completion of the Merikoski fishway at the river mouth in 2003. Preconditions for salmon migration and reproduction in this former salmon river have been surveyed in the project "Restoring salmon runs into Oulu and Lososinka Rivers", OuLo. The main target area has been the River Oulujoki but studies have also been made in the River Lososinka which runs through the city of Petrozavodsk into the Lake Onego in Russian Carelia. Salmon passage has been blocked in this small river for a long time period. The main aim was to survey the preconditions and possible means of restoring migratory fish runs into these two former salmon rivers. Another main aim was to create close co-operation between Finnish and Russian experts, research institutes and authorities and to develop forms for action in realizing large projects in the different planning cultures of the two countries involved. The project got financial funding from Euregio Carelia Neighbourhood Program. Other funding was provided by the Council of Oulu Region, the Federation of Municipalities and Province of Kainuu, Fortum Power and Heat corp., the municipalities of Muhos, Utajärvi, Vaala and Paltamo and the City of Oulu. The project was part Oulu-Kajaani Regional Development Zone. The project was co- ordinated by North Ostrobothnia Regional Environment Centre. The Finnish partners were Game and Fisheries Research Institute, University of Oulu, Finnish Environment Institute and Kainuu Regional Environment Centre.

Sami MANTERE, Finland Keywords: Cadastre, Lidar, Orthophotos SUMMARY Finnish cadastral system is based to a Nordic variation of German system. Finnish cadaster’s fundamental part is on the border marks placed to the field. The border marks are more relevant than cadastral maps or coordinates when determine the true location of the border although the borders are fixed on cadastral map. Cadastral proceedings can be divided in two sections, the technical part and judicial part. Technical part includes the fieldwork, surveying and marking the border to the field. After the fieldwork the parcel is unambiguous to the new owner. The judicial part includes the cadastral meeting and registration of the proceeding. The accuracy requirements to the border marks are 0.1 m -0.5 m depending the value of the land. These requirements are made by National Land Survey of Finland. Because of huge amount of the inaccurate border marks, accuracy worse than 0.5 m, the proceedings include a visiting to the field in any case. Sending a professional land surveyor to the field is expensive. Sometimes the surveying of the parcel is more expensive than the value of the parcel. To reduce the costs of the field work the author of this paper tested different methods to determine new borders to the field and to cadastral map too. The demarcation of borders were made from orthophotos and lidar -data to the natural shapes such as ditches, roads, vegetation edges etc. The results showed it is possible to determine new borders without going to the field with high accuracy and when using the combination of lidar -data and orthophotos the accuracy would be better.
