Regional and Structural Patterns of Tourism in Finland Regional and structural patterns of tourism in Finland KAI-VEIKKO VUORISTO Vuoristo, Kai-Veikko (2002). Regional and structural patterns of tourism in Fin- land. Fennia 180: 1–2, pp. 251–259. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. In this article, general and regional patterns of tourism in Finland are com- pared with the preconditions for tourism development. A new model of the ‘regionalism’ of Finland’s tourism is presented. A comparison of regional tour- ism demand (actual tourist flows) with preconditions and supply shows that actual tourism development does not yet correspond sufficiently to the pre- dominant image of Finland as a destination of nature-based recreation activi- ties. The author suggests the promotion of tourism by means of a new image of “modern periphery” and its specific application to different tourist segments and nationalities. Keywords: tourism, regionalism of tourism, tourism flows, preconditions for tourism. Kai-Veikko Vuoristo, Talvisillankatu 1 C 14, FIN-05860 Hyvinkää, Finland.

    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

  • References to Iconic Landscapes in the Debate Surrounding the Founding of Finland’S National Parks, Circa 1880–1910
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Uopen Journals Copyright: © The Author(s). Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 References to Iconic Landscapes in the Debate Surrounding the Founding of Finland’s National Parks, circa 1880–1910 Juho Niemelä and Esa Ruuskanen HCM 7: 741–764 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.579 Abstract This article reviews the formation of the idea of national parks in Finland between the 1880s and 1910s. It argues that both the term and the concept of national park evolved in a long-lasting deliberative pro- cess between competing definitions. The main actors in this process were geographers, forestry scientists and NGOs devoted to popular edu- cation and the promotion of tourism. As a result of the debates, iconic landscapes and species were located in Finnish nature inside the wholly artificial boundaries of the national parks. Eventually, both the science and tourism poles of the decades-long debate were incorporated into the plans and visions for Finland’s national parks in the early twentieth century. The national park debate between the 1880s and 1910s focused mainly on landscapes, land formations and vegetation zones, and not so much on the wildlife or indeed the people who lived inside these areas. Keywords: environmental history, environmental values, Finland, Lapland, national parks, nature conservation Introduction In 1938, Finland finally established its first national parks in the fells of Pallas-Yllästunturi and Pyhätunturi in Lapland; in the Heinäsaaret Islands off the north-east coast of Petsamo; and on Stora Träskö Island HCM 2019, VOL.
