Pea and faba bean were grown by early farmers in Finland, with remains dated to 500 BC. Landraces of pea and faba bean were gradually replaced by better adapted, higher quality materials for food use. While grain legumes have been restricted by their long growing seasons to the south of the country, red, white and alsike clovers are native throughout and have long been used in leys for grazing, hay and silage. Breeding programmes released many cultivars of these crops during the 1900s, particularly pea and red clover. A.I. Virtanen earned the 1945 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on both nitrogen fixation and silage preservation. Use of crop mixtures may appear modern, but farmers used them already in the early 1800s, when oat was used to support pea, and much effort has been devoted to improving the system and establishing its other benefits.

The aim is to offer new ways to structure the framework of socio-economic change in Helsinki through this theoretical perspective and to explore the suitability of the concept of new-build gentrification in a context where the construction of new housing is under strict municipal regulations. The conceptual understanding of gentrification has expanded since the term's coinage, and has been enlarged to encompass a variety of new actors, causalities and both physical and social outcomes. New-build gentrification on its behalf is one of the manifestations of the current, third-wave gentrification. Over the upcoming years Helsinki is expected to face growth varying from moderate to rapid increase of the population. The last decade has been characterized by the planning of extensive residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the Helsinki CBD and the seaside due to the relocation of inner city cargo shipping. Accompanied with characteristics of local housing policy and existing housing stock, these developments form the framework where the prerequisites for the existence of new-build gentrification are discussed.

    Poliisitehtävien maantieteellinen jakaantuminen Itä-Helsingin alueella Ville Pelkonen 3/2021 TIIVISTELMÄ Ville Pelkonen: Poliisitehtävien maantieteellinen jakaantuminen Itä-Helsingin alueella Opinnäytetyön muoto: tutkimuksellinen Julkisuusaste: Julkinen, liitteet 4 ja 5 salattu (JulkL 24§ 5.) Ohjaaja: Mika Kyrönviita, Jari Saari Tutkinto: Poliisi (AMK) Analysoimalla polisiin tehtävien maantieteellistä sijoittumista, voidaan toimintaympäristöstä havaita painopistealueita, jotka työllistävät Poliisia tavanomaista enemmän. Painopistealueiden tunnistaminen on tärkeä osa niin poliisitoiminnan suunnittelua kuin päivittäistä operatiivista toimintaakin: Suunnittelusta vastaavan portaan on tärkeää osata suunnata rajallisia resursseja tarkoituksenmukaisiin kohteisiin. Harkittujen ja tietoisten valintojen taustalle tarvitaan ajantasaista ja hyödynnettävää tietoa toimintaympäristöstä. Ongelmana on, ettei poliisin tehtävien maantieteellistä analyysia hyödynnetä tällä hetkellä laaja-alaisesti ja yhtenäisesti. Tässä tutkimustyössä on analysoitu Itä-Helsingin asuinalueiden tehtävämääriä vuosilta 2018 sekä 2019 ja muodostettu kuva Itä-Helsingin painopistealueista. Tutkimuksessa on myös tarkasteltu Poliisin vasteaikoja A-kiireellisyysluokan tehtäville eri Itä-Helsingin alueilla ja verrattu niitä alueen tehtävämääriin. Aineisto on kerätty Polstat-järjestelmästä ja analyysi toteutettu kvantitatiivisin metodein. Analyysin tuloksena ilmeni, että Itä-Helsingin alueen tehtävämäärät vaihtelevat suuresti alueittain.
