  • Hamnarna I Österbotten Och Deras Specialisering Pohjanmaan Satamien Erikoistuminen
    Activity 3.5 (Port Study, Part I) Hamnarna i Österbotten och deras specialisering Pohjanmaan satamien erikoistuminen www.midnordictc.net SAMMANDRAG Sjötransporterna och hamnarna är av stor betydelse för Österbotten. Det fi nns fyra djuphamnar i Österbotten, de ligger i Jakobstad, Vasa, Kaskö och Kristinestad. Samarbetet mellan hamnarna i Österbotten och deras specialisering borde utvecklas liksom förbindelserna till och från hamnarna både till sjöss och på land. Det primära målet borde vara att de varor som produceras i Österbotten och de varor som importeras hit trans- porteras via de egna hamnarna. Det huvudsakliga målet med detta arbete var att utreda nuläget för de fyra djuphamnarna i Österbotten och deras specialiserings- och samarbetsmöjligheter. Utredningen genomfördes utgående från skriftligt material och fl era intervjuer. I samband med arbetet analyserades också sex olika sce- narion med hjälp av Frisbee-godstrafi kmodellen. De österbottniska hamnarnas ställning är baserad på geografi ska faktorer samt på att de svarar på olika ak- törers behov på ett bra sätt. Samtliga fyra hamnar är redan för närvarande mer eller mindre specialiserade och tillsammans kan de betjäna olika industrisektorer på bred basis. Även samarbetet med Sverige spelar en central roll för utvecklingen av hamnarnas verksamhet. Både i Finland och i Sverige upplevs det som viktigt att utveckla förbindelsen Vasa–Umeå. Tillväxtpotential för Kaskö hamn fi nns enligt godstrafi kmodellen bland an- nat i linjetrafi kens återkomst. Samarbetet mellan hamnarna i Österbotten och på östkusten i Sverige utvecklas också inom ramen för transportkorridorprojekten i öst-västlig riktning (NECL, NLC). Kaskö hamns viktigaste kund är den lokala skogsindustrin. Hamnens styrka är den fungerande hamninfra- strukturen, som lämpar sig väl för hanteringen av skogsindustrins bulkvaror samt ger möjlighet att hantera även andra produkter i fortsättningen.

  • Architecture in Kvarken
    ARCHITECT URE I N K V A R K E N – TWO COUNTRIES - A WORLD OF CONTRAST Get to know the modern cities as well as the old wooden towns in Kvarken. During an architecture tour, you will get to know Kvarken from an architectural perspective, its history, as well as stories about people who lived and live along the coasts of the Gulf of Bothnia. Höga Kusten Umeå Vaasa Seinäjoki Kristinestad Pietarsaari/Jakobstad Kokkola Höga Kusten and Örnsköldsvik Örnsköldsvik, even called Ö-vik, is part of the High Coast and its fantastic nature. Naturum Höga Kusten - is designed by White Architects. Located in the shadow of the mighty Skuleberget. Naturum Höga kusten, is an attention- grabbing building inspired by the nature that surrounds it. Interesting geometric patterns and angular displacements give the building rich and varied expression. It is precisely the rough and anything but 90-degree feeling that characterizes nature on the High Coast. The High Coast is characterized by odd angles and variation in rhythm, scale and color. The glazed long side represents the ice. The inner concrete wall symbolizes the mountain. ArkNat – is a combination of architecture and nature. Architect students from all over Scandinavia were invited to create unique “art” that reminds of typical wind shelters in the nature. As result you will find nine fantastic creations, places to rest or to have a picknick, located along the 128 km long High coast Trail. Ting 1 – is residential building in Örnsköldsvik Ting 1 is designed by Gert Wingårdh, who was inspired by Bengt Lindström's art.

  • The Finnish Archipelago Coast from AD 500 to 1550 – a Zone of Interaction
    The Finnish Archipelago Coast from AD 500 to 1550 – a Zone of Interaction Tapani Tuovinen [email protected], [email protected] Abstract New archaeological, historical, paleoecological and onomastic evidence indicates Iron Age settle- ment on the archipelago coast of Uusimaa, a region which traditionally has been perceived as deso- lated during the Iron Age. This view, which has pertained to large parts of the archipelago coast, can be traced back to the early period of field archaeology, when an initial conception of the archipelago as an unsettled and insignificant territory took form. Over time, the idea has been rendered possible by the unbalance between the archaeological evidence and the written sources, the predominant trend of archaeology towards the mainland (the terrestrical paradigm), and the history culture of wilderness. Wilderness was an important platform for the nationalistic constructions of early Finnishness. The thesis about the Iron Age archipelago as an untouched no-man’s land was a history politically convenient tacit agreement between the Finnish- and the Swedish-minded scholars. It can be seen as a part of the post-war demand for a common view of history. A geographical model of the present-day archaeological, historical and palaeoecological evi- dence of the archipelago coast is suggested. Keywords: Finland, Iron Age, Middle Ages, archipelago, settlement studies, nationalism, history, culture, wilderness, borderlands. 1. The coastal Uusimaa revisited er the country had inhabitants at all during the Bronze Age (Aspelin 1875: 58). This drastic The early Finnish settlement archaeologists of- interpretation developed into a long-term re- ten treated the question of whether the country search tradition that contains the idea of easily was settled at all during the prehistory: were perishable human communities and abandoned people in some sense active there, or was the regions.

    The Quarterly Vol. 23, No. 4 Spring 2016 The Swedish Finn Historical Society — http://finlander.genealogia.fi/sfhswiki/index.php Jorvas Village, Kyrkslätt The Location of 13th C. Swedísh Settlement By Gunnar Damström According to C.F. Meinander, the first Swedish emigrants landed in southwestern Finland in the latter half of the 13th century. The Finnish-speak- ing inhabitants who had lived in the area since the beginning of the Middle Ages were primarily farmers1. Soon after, Swedish-speaking settlers arrived in Kyrkslätt, west of what is now Hels- ingfors. Based on archaeological finds (or lack of finds) the Kyrkslätt area had been unpopulated during the Iron Age 500 BC – c.1150 AD 2. The Swedish immigrants built simple log cab- ins, cultivated the soil, and kept cattle. Oxen and horses were used. The most common grains were rye, barley, kale, rutabaga and peas in addition to flax and hemp. A sparse population spread over the Kyrkslätt Parish in the 14th and 15th centuries. The village of Jorvas comprised the homesteads of Jorvas, Gillobacka, Kvis, Nägels, and Ingvalsby. A bay extends from the Gulf of Finland deeply into the Parish of Esbo (Espoo).

Finland Swedes Elizabeth Oman* Along the Gulf of Bothnia in the western part of Finland is a narrow strip of land about 150 miles long that is known as Svenska Osterbotten (Swedish East Bothnia). There are provinces in Sweden named N orrbotten (North Bothnia) and Vasterbotten (West Bothnia) also located on the Gulf of Bothnia, but on the east side of the same. Osterbotten stretches from Side by (Siipy) in the south to Gamlakarleby (Kokkola) in the north. It includes the larger cities of Vasa (Vaasa) and Jakobstad (Pietersaari). It is a very narrow strip of land, approximately ten to fifteen miles wide and the parish that is the greatest distance from the coast is Terjarv (Teerijarvi) which is no more than thirty miles inland. Among the thirty-six Lutheran State churches in this area only one fourth of them have services in both Finnish and Swedish, the remainder use the Swedish language exclusively. Finnish church services are held in Kris­ tinestad (Kristiinankaupunki) and Kasko (Kaskinen) in the Narpes district, Vasa (Vaasa) in the Korsholm (Mustasaari) district and Jakobstad (Pieter­ saari), Karleby (Kaarlela) and Gamlakarleby (Kokkola) in the Pedersore district.
