Porvoon Ja Lohjan Kaupunkien Esityksen Perustelumuistio
PERUSTELUMUISTIO Porvoon ja Lohjan kaupunkien toiminnallinen suuntautuminen, vuorovaikutus ja yhteys metropolialueeseen MISTÄ PUHUMME, KUN PUHUMME METROPOLIALUEESTA? Hallitus linjasi elokuussa 2013 rakennepoliittisessa ohjelmassaan metropolihallinnon jatkovalmistelun periaatteista. Keskeisenä linjauksena oli se, että perustetaan metropolihallinto, jonka päättävä elin on vaaleilla valittu valtuusto. Metropolihallinto hoitaisi alueen kilpailukyvyn sekä elinkeino- ja innovaatiopolitiikan, maankäytön, asumisen ja liikenteen toteuttamisen sekä segregaatioon, työvoimaan ja maahanmuuttoon liittyvien seudullisten kysymysten ratkaisemisen.1 Valtiovarainministeriö asetti lokakuussa 2013 työryhmän metropolihallintoa koskevan lainsäädännön valmistelua varten. Tehtävä perustui Kataisen hallituksen kuntauudistuslinjauksiin, jossa korostettiin muun muassa metropolialueen kansallista merkitystä ja tarvetta metropolialuetta koskevalle erilliselle lainsäädännölle.2 Työryhmän työtä edelsi seikkaperäinen esiselvitys. Metropolilakityöryhmän väliraportti julkaistiin huhtikuussa 2014. Työryhmä esitti kahta vaihtoista mallia: pakkokuntayhtymää tai itsehallinnollista järjestelmää. Molemmissa malleissa ytimenä oli vaaleilla valittu valtuusto, metropolikaava sekä valtion kanssa tehtävät metropolisopimus. Hallitus linjasi budjettiriihessään elokuussa 2014 periaatteet, joiden pohjalta metropolilakityöryhmä jatkaisi valmistelua. Linjauksen mukaan metropolihallinto kattaisi 14 kuntaa Helsingin seutukunnan 17 kunnasta, mutta linjaukseen liitettiin varaus, että ”Lohja

Local Government Employment Pilots – Uusimaa TE Office Questions and Answers
Local government employment pilots – Uusimaa TE office Questions and answers 1. What is the local government employment pilot? The local government employment pilots are a project lasting more than two years in which some of the legally mandated employment services of TE offices are to be arranged by municipalities. Taking part in the project are 125 municipalities and 26 pilot areas formed by them. Participants in the Uusimaa region are Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kerava, Porvoo, Raasepori and Hanko. The regional pilots begin on 1 March 2021 and they end on 30 June 2023. 2. Why are the local government pilots being launched? In accordance with the Government programme, the role of municipalities in organising employment services is being strengthened. The purpose of the pilots is to improve access to the labour market, especially for those who have been unemployed for longer and those who are in a weaker position on the labour market. In addition, services are to be developed in the pilot that support the employment of a jobseeker, and service models in which the customer's situation and need for service are evaluated at the individual level. 3. What does this mean in practice? After the launch of a local government pilot some of the jobseeker customers will become customers of the municipalities, and some will remain with the TE office. When a customer is transferred to the local government pilot, his or her services will be primarily provided by his or her municipality of residence. The TE office will retain some tasks involving the customers that move to the local government pilots, such as statements on unemployment security and interviews and selections for vocational labour market training.

Wooden T Own Tradition and Town Fires in Finland
Wooden T own Tradition and Town Fires in Finland Risto Suikkari Architect, Researcher, University of Oulu, Department of Architecture, P.O. Box 4100, FIN- 90014 Oulu, FINLAND 1. Introduction Finland´s location is both geographically and topographically advantageous in the sense that there are no natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods that threaten cultural milieus as so often happens elsewhere in the world. Finland does have minor floods, but they usually occur only in low-lying countryside during the break-up of ice in the rivers in springtime. Throughout history, however, our towns have been tormented by a recurrent catastrophe that could well be described as a Scandinavian phenomenon, as it has been a serious problem for countries in the conifer belt, Finland, Sweden and Norway. This phenomenon is the frequent fires of the wooden towns. Throughout its history the Finnish town has characteristically been a wooden town originating over five hundred years ago. Six towns were founded in Finland during the Middle Ages, but today only three of them, Porvoo, Rauma and Naantali, still remain some Medieval features in the sizes of the lots and in the street network. Disastrous town fires and several wars have destroyed the most of the buildings built before the middle of the 18th century. In spite of this, the towns were rebuilt out of wood just as before. Town of Oulu in flames 1822. Jacob Wacklin´s watercolor of the Oulu´s most destructive town fire in which total of 330 houses burnt down. 2. SOME STATISTICS ABOUT FINNISH WOODEN TOWNS Statistics from 1747 including all the towns in the country of Sweden-Finland as well as statistics from 1845 including towns in Finland reflect in a very impressive way the scale of building using wood.
