Speed Sparring of the Municipal Strategy for Liminka Client: Municipality of Liminka References of MDI (updated 7th March 2017) Speed sparring of the municipal strategy for Liminka Client: Municipality of Liminka Liminka is a 2000’s growth miracle. Next to the city of Oulu, the municipality of Liminka still has a 2 % annu- al growth. MDI sparred the municipal council and chief officials in the strategy seminar 1st March 2017. The agenda consisted of evaluating the current municipal strategy, further developing the value and vision basis and municipal tasks in the future. Strategy Process Client: City of Kokkola The city of Kokkola is renewing its strategy while preparing 400-year anniversary in 2020. Kokkola has cho- sen MDI to support the city in preparing the strategy. MDI is responsible for planning and conducting the strategy process, making a proposal for the structure of the strategy document and drafting a written con- clusion of the process. MDI also helps the process by facilitating workshops. The strategy work is conducted in cooperation with the city personnel, councillors, inhabitants and various stakeholders. The strategy is due in September 2017. Planning the approach for vitality policies in Jyväskylä Client: City of Jyväskylä In the future, ensuring the vitality will be one of the main tasks for Finnish cities. A successful city is appeal- ing and attracting. The city as a whole is responsible for the vitality policy. However, the city itself only has a limited power to affect the vitality factors. Hence the activities of local companies, universities and citi- zens are utterly important. The current business-led vitality policy model in Jyväskylä doesn’t meet the needs of the changing environment. MDI made a proposal of reorganizing the policy for the city of Jyväsky- lä. The proposal also introduces new forms of greater involvement (e.g. sparring forums). The work was due in Autumn 2016. Creating a Regional Development Snapshot Tool to support the Regional Government Reform Client: Prime Minister's Office MDI leads a consortium that during 2017 constructs a Regional Development Snapshot Tool, which com- bines the most functional user-driven data production models that the state and the regions use in deci- sion-making. The aim is to select the most important quantitative and qualitative indicators, which provide quick and up to date information about regional development in the regions. The aim is to select evidence- based indicators that are so called rapid and sensitive variables. These variables are essential in identifying the specific features of changes in the regional economy and development. The Snapshot Tool is connected to the regional reform and thus to the regional development system. The Tool will be tested in autumn 2017 when the provisional county institutions will start their operations. Participation in the analysis of municipalities’ statutory tasks Client: Prime Minister's Office The statutory duties of municipalities will change due to health, social services and regional government reform. The analysis will focus on those statutory duties regarding which municipalities most commonly expand the content and the level of service due to own decisions. The aim is also to produce comprehen- sive quantitative and qualitative data and an analysis of the situation of each chosen municipality with re- gard to the selected statement of tasks and services. The study also produces an updated estimate of the relationship between local government and counties after reforms. The study aims at producing benefits to national and municipal decision-making. The lead partner in the study is Perlacon Ltd. MDI conducts the municipality survey and participates in formulating of the conclusions. The work is due in September 2017. Supporting the Health, Social Services and Regional Government Reform Client: Prime Minister’s Office Health, social services and regional government reform is one of the biggest ever administrative and opera- tional overhauls in Finland. The aim is to transfer the organisation of healthcare and social services and other regional services to counties. In 2017-2018 MDI has the honour of researching the implementation of the reform in three projects (part of Government’s analysis, assessment and research activities) with our partners NHG Consulting, Frisky & Anjoy and Tempo Economics. MDI is in lead of two of the three projects: SMUUTO that focuses on assessing the implementation of the reform (e.g. best practices and critical points) and SOMAYRTTI that studies the collaboration structures, interfaces and operating models. NHG Consulting leads the third project, MOHJU that focuses on steering models between different actors. All the projects aim at collecting and analysing current data for supporting the reform and sparring the actors. MDI is responsible of the regional government reform part and engaging data collection. SOMAYRTTI project is due in the end of 2017, MOHJU in March 2018 and SMUUTO in the end of 2018. 1 Evaluation and Action Research of Regional Experiments in Employment and Business Services Client: Prime Minister’s Office Prime Minister Sipilä’s government aims at lifting Finnish economy on the track of sustainable growth and improving employment. As a significant part of the Government Programme, regional experiments will be carried out during years 2017 and 2018 focusing on employment and economic development services. Dur- ing the experiments, organisation of duties will be transferred to municipalities of joint co-operation re- gions i.e. counties. Regional experiments aim at designing services that are customer-oriented, improve employment rate and decrease unemployment at the same time. A total of nine regions have been select- ed to take part in the experiments based on applications (41 applicants), three of which are being counties and six municipality-based regions. MDI takes part in the research consortium lead by Demos Helsinki. MDI is responsible for evaluating the impact, operation models and applicability of experiments as well as providing regions with peer support and sparring. Common Dialogues is the third member in the consorti- um. The research will be carried out by the end of 2018. Roadmap for Urbanization III Clients: Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT (CFCI), Building Information Group, Finnish Construction Trade Union, Hypo Bank, The Finnish Association of Consulting Firms SKOL, cities of Heinola, Järvenpää, Kokkolan ja Uusikaupunki, Regional Council of Häme The ongoing reforms in health and social services and regional government structures challenge the cities with 20 000 to 50 000 inhabitants. In order to clarify the current state and status of the little and middle- sized cities MDI draws a Roadmap for Urbanization III, which highlights the potential of smaller cities. The aim of the study is to sharpen the spears of business policies and brands. In addition, the work aims at cre- ating new models for urban politics. The roadmap is due in March 2017. Business plan for the Metropolia Campus in Myllypuro Client: Metropolia University of Applied Sciences MDI helps Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in drafting the local business plan for Metropolia Campus in Myllypuro region. The aim is to maximize the positive business effects of the upcoming Campus in Myllypuro Region, and in Eastern Helsinki Region. The business plan will also function as a partnership strategy. Local actors, especially entreprises, civil society organizations, inhabitants and city play a signifi- cant role in creating added value in the region. The work is due in February 2017. Evaluation of Structural Funds Programme 2014-2020 Client: Ministry of Employment and the Economy Consortium lead by MDI has been appointed to evaluate the Structural Funds Programme in Finland. In ad- dition to MDI, the consortium consists of Spatia Centre for Regional Research at the University of Eastern Finland, TK-Eval, and The Rehabilitation Foundation. The evaluation kicks of at the end of this year and runs until the summer of 2019. Evaluation of the provision of advice in the Rural Development Programme Client: Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Provision of Advice has been launched as a new activity under the Rural Development Programme for this programming period. The main objective for the provision of advice is to improve the modernisation and competitiveness of farms as well as further support the advising of environmental issues. MDI has been appointed as an evaluator to study the implementation, results, and preliminary impacts of the provision of advice uner the Rural Development Programme for Mainland Finland 2014–2020. The work includes annual analyses and the work will be completed in the spring of 2019. Ms. Sari Rannanpää from Avaintaito cooper- ative strengthens MDI’s team in the evaluation work. 2 Profiling Southern Finland’s Development Corridors Client: Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council The development of the regions is channelled more and more towards development corridors crossing ad- ministrative borders. The region of Helsinki-Uusimaa (Finlands capital region) is preparing the launch of a new comprehensive regional plan, and a key part of this preparatory work is prioritising focus areas of de- velopment on regional structure and on main transport networks.

  • New Patterns of Spatial Distribution of the Population in Kainuu, Finland
    Yearbook of Population Research in Finland 33 (1996), pp. 184-192 New Patterns of Spatial Distribution of the Population in Kainuu, Finland ELLI HEIKKILÄ Senior Researcher, Docent Research Institute o f Northern Finland University of Oulu Kajaani, Finland A b s tra ct Migration is a process of long duration, which reflects the migrant’s needs and values. The causes of migration relate to the physical and social environments, and these factors can be described by push and pull theories. The probability of moving to a specific location depends on the differential attractiveness of the various regions available to the migrant. The rise of the turnaround phenomenon in migration in the developed countries has been explained by changes in the place-preference value system. Migration to the countryside has focused on areas within easy access of the main built-up areas in Kainuu, Finland. Keywords: migration, turnaround migration, regional development, Finland Introduction Migration reflects both needs and values, but relatively little attention has been paid in migration research specifically to the analysis of values. Values have their own meaning even when potential migrants evaluate the alternatives between migration and non-migration. Migration itself is a process of a very long total duration, which pro­ ceeds from the evaluation of alternative destinations to the migration decision and ul­ timately to adaption to the environment, return migration or even to remigration. The causes of migration at the individual level relate to both physical and social environ­ ments (see Soderling 1983, 20-22). As a whole the personal desires and preferences of a potential migrant play an important role for the micro-level migration decision­ making process (see Fischer et al.

In Kainuu, the new regional government was successful in securing the quality Jenni Airaksinen and availability of welfare services, but in the task of regional development ‒ creating School of Management, new growth and development ‒ its role has been practically secondary, and in some cases University of Tampere the new regional government has been marginalised by the tensions built into it during the rescaling process. The Kainuu experiment exemplifies a case of rescaling where some Anni Jäntti (political) tensions between two perspectives/factors, service and development, were School of Management, rescaled together with local government functions, reflecting the reformer’s problem that University of Tampere it is extremely difficult to achieve many different outcomes with one governance expedi- ent.

BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master’s thesis Author Aleksi Luukkanen Title of thesis BUYING VS. RENTING A HOME – A STOCK MARKET INVESTORS’ VIEWPOINT Degree Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration Degree programme Information and Service Management Thesis advisor(s) Timo Kuosmanen Year of approval 2021 Number of pages 71 Language English Abstract The decision to buy or not to buy a home is typically one of the most important financial decisions an individual or a household faces during the course of their life. When the alternative to buying is renting a home instead, it becomes necessary to examine the financial implications and viability of selecting either of these options. Buying a home comes with an opportunity cost when compared with renting, as owner-occupied housing typically has higher monthly costs than renting when a mortgage is used to finance the home purchase and while the mortgage is not yet fully paid off. This thesis examines the question of whether one should buy or rent their home in Finland when it is assumed that the cost difference between buying and owning versus renting a home, i.e. the opportunity cost of buying a home, is invested into the stock market. The topic is approached by constructing a mathematical decision-making model that can be used to calculate the amount of money an individual would be left with after a holding period if they chose to rent or buy their home in a given scenario.

    Alueelliset ympäristöjulkaisut Alueelliset ympäristöjulkaisut 366 Maaperän pilaantuminen Kainuussa Inkeri Neuvonen Selvitys Kainuun mahdollisesti pilaantuneista maa-alueista ja niiden kunnostus- tarpeesta tehtiin EU-hankkeena Kainuun ympäristökeskuksessa vuosina 2003 - Maaperän pilaantuminen 2004. Hankkeen rahoittajina olivat EAKR, Kainuun ympäristökeskus, Kainuun kunnat ja Kainuun jätehuollon kuntayhtymä Eko-Kymppi. Kainuussa Kainuussa on mahdollisesti pilaantuneiksi alueiksi luokiteltavia kohteita hieman Kartoitus- ja selvityshanke 2003 - 2004 yli 450. Kohteet priorisoitiin tutkimus- ja kunnostustarpeen perusteella. Kun- nostustarpeen arviointia varten hankkeen aikana tutkittiin kolmisenkymmentä kohdetta. Laajimmat tutkimukset tehtiin pohjavesialueilla sijaitsevilla ampuma- radoilla. Kohteista saatuja tutkimustuloksia käytettiin Kainuusta tulevien pilaantuneiden massamäärien arvioinnissa. Muuten massamäärien arvioinnissa käytettiin Kainuun kohteiden kunnostuksesta tehdyistä loppuraporteista ja kir- jallisuudesta saatuja tietoja pilaantuneiden maiden määristä. Hankkeen yhtenä tavoitteena oli edistää mahdollisesti pilaantuneista alueista kerättyjen tietojen huomioimista kunnissa maankäytön suunnittelun alku- vaiheessa. Tiedot siirrettiin kuntien paikkatieto-ohjelmiin karttapohjaiseksi tiedoksi, jota voidaan kunnissa hyödyntää sekä lupavalmistelussa että maan- käytön suunnittelussa.
