It is trend that I hope becomes permanent. A fly-fishing trip in the Turku Archipelago is an example of sustainable tourism, requiring both tourism entrepreneurs and their clients to be ecologically conscious. A traveller's responsibility begins at home, when deciding a destination and modes of transport. Places to stay, activities and food are also value choices. Whilst in the archipelago, I recommend ordering a plate of ‘trash fish’ or fish sourced nearby, which are often rejected for no good reason. So, dear traveller, you can see you have an important role to play in sustainable tourism, as your choices, demands and behaviours make local 2020 businesses accountable and create services that place the least possible strain on the environment.

He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success.

  • 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.

Without the advice and encouragement of certain persons this work would not have been possible, or at least it would have looked very different. To these persons I direct my deep gratitude. First of all I want to thank my supervisors, professors Gunilla Widén-Wulff and Mike Thelwall, for their advice and support throughout this process. I have been very fortunate to have two such knowledgeable and generous supervisors. Gunilla has given me the freedom to pursue my own path and make my own discoveries, but she has always been there to help me find my way back to the path when I have strayed too far from it. It has been a great privilege to have Mike as my second supervisor. Mike’s vast knowledge and experience of webometrics, great technical skills, and unparalleled helpfulness have been extremely valuable throughout this research. I also want to thank professors Mariam Ginman and Sara von Ungern-Sternberg for convincing me to pursue a doctoral degree, a decision that I have never regretted.

  • A Voluntary Local Review 2020 Turku
    A Voluntary Local Review 2020 The implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the City of Turku Opening statement by the Mayor Cities are facing major challenges – climate change, digitalisation and the ageing and increasingly diverse population greatly impact on cities’ field of operation and require cities to be able to adapt to constant change. Adaptation and adjustment to conventional ways of doing things is also needed in order to reach sustainability on a global level. Cities and city networks have an ever-growing role to play as global influencers and local advocates in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Succeeding in accelerating sustainable development requires strong commitment and dedication from the city’s decision-makers and the whole city organization. Turku has a long tradition in promoting sustainable development and we want to make sure Turku is a good place to live in the future as well. Turku also wants to take responsibility and set an example in solving global sustainability challenges. That is why I consider it very important that Turku is among the first cities to participate in reporting city-level progress of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. With this first VLR report, I am very proud to present the systematic work being done in Turku for sustainable development. I hope that the cities’ growing role in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development becomes more visible to citizens, business life, organisations, other cities, government and other interest groups. Together we have a chance to steer the course of development in a more sustainable direction. A Voluntary Local Review 2020, The implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the City of Turku Minna Arve Authors: City of Turku.
