Regions of Eastern Finland (Summary)
Summary of views on the 2nd Cohesion Report Regions of Eastern Finland, 27.8.2001 Regions of South Karelia, South Savo, Kainuu, North Karelia and North Savo Starting point: - The EU regional policy is important for the development of Eastern Finland regions. - During the period 1995-1999 Eastern Finland was covered by the Obj 6, 5b and Interreg II A programmes. Of these the Obj 6 programme area was defined in the Accession Treaty of Finland and Sweden on account of specific circumstances of sparse population. - In the present period until 2006 the South Savo, North Karelia, North Savo and Kainuu regions form an Obj 1 programme area. At the same time East Finland has an A support status according to Article 87.3 of the Treaty, allowing allocation of higher state aid. The region of South Karelia is covered by the Obj 2 programme. In addition there are two Interreg III A programmes implemented in the area. - The Eastern Finland regions consider that the additionality principle has not been followed in the implementation of the regional development programmes. - The Eastern Finland (NUTS II area) GDP has lowered by 2.3 % between 1995-1999 in comparison to the EU average, and by over 5 % in comparison to the national average. It is very likely that the GDP/capita of Eastern Finland will not exceed 75 % of EU15 average without (national) specific measures. Views on the future Cohesion Policy: - The enlargement and increase of territorial inequality means that sufficient structural policy resources are required to guarantee a stable regional development. It seems that the proposed 0.45 % of the GDP will not be enough in the enlarged Union. -

Ita-Suomi FI13 RIM Regional Innovation Report
Version: Final Date: 19 August 2011 Regional Innovation Monitor Regional Innovation Report (Eastern Finland/Itä-Suomi) To the European Commission Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General Directorate D – Industrial Innovation and Mobility Industries Kimmo Viljamaa Henri Lahtinen Advansis www.technopolis-group.com PREFACE The Regional Innovation Monitor (RIM)1 is an initiative of the European Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry, which has the objective to describe and analyse innovation policy trends across EU regions. RIM analysis is based on methodologies developed in the context of the INNO-Policy Trendchart which covers innovation policies at national level as part of the PRO INNO Europe initiative. The overarching objective of this project is to enhance the competitiveness of European regions through increasing the effectiveness of their innovation policies and strategies. The specific objective of the RIM is to enhance the scope and quality of policy assessment by providing policy-makers, other innovation stakeholders with the analytical framework and tools for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of regional policies and regional innovation systems. RIM covers EU-20 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. This means that RIM will not concentrate on Member States where the Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics NUTS 1 and 2 levels are identical with the entire country (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), Malta which only has NUTS 3 regions, Slovenia which has a national innovation policy or Cyprus and Luxembourg which are countries without NUTS regions. -
The Wolf Debate in Finland
Ruralia Institute Jukka Bisi Sami Kurki The wolf debate in Finland Publications 12 The wolf debate in Finland Expectations and objectives for the management of the wolf population at regional and national level Jukka Bisi Sami Kurki Seinäjoki 2008 Publisher: University of Helsinki Ruralia Institute Kampusranta 9 FIN-60320 SEINÄJOKI Puh. +358 6 4213 300 Fax. +358 6 4213 301 ISBN 978-952-10-4135-8 (paperback) 978-952-10-4136-5 (pdf) ISSN 1796-0649 (paperback) 1796-0657 (pdf) Printed by Oy Fram Ab, Vaasa Foreword The wolf has returned to the Finnish countryside and once again there is no avoiding the fact that the interaction of man and wolf is an extremely painful one. Attitudes to the wolf divide Finns, and the wolf itself causes opinion to change fast once it has arrived in new areas. The wolf is a perpetual problem environmentally, something people have to live with on a daily basis. But what is the importance of social sustainability and how can protection of the wolf be reconciled with what local people see as a decline in the quality of life? How should the wolf issue be managed and who should act in what situation? These are the questions which have to be addressed in preparations for a national policy on wolves. Studies relating to policy on large carnivores for the University of Helsinki’s Institute for Rural Research and Training (Ruralia) represent a breakthrough, yet people in rural communities have always been at the centre of research. The sustainable use of natural resources is becoming more and more about socio-economic issues, with ecology obviously imposing its own set of condi- tions. -
Analytical Document Adopt a Monument- Inclusive
ANALYTICAL DOCUMENT ONLINE PEER-LEARNING VISIT HOSTED BY TAMPERE ADOPT A MONUMENT- INCLUSIVE CULTURAL HERITAGE FOR AND WITH THE PEOPLE! LEAD AUTHORS: JULIE HERVE AND KOEN VAN BALEN DATE: 27/05/2021 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Focus of Tampere’s online peer-learning visit (10-12 May 2021) The online peer-learning visit hosted by Tampere focused on the Adopt a Monument scheme, a programme that consists of maintenance and preservation of archaeological sites and historical buildings by groups of volunteers (adopters). Discussions focused on the practical implementation of Adopt a Monument and on the following themes: participatory governance of cultural heritage, community-building through volunteering and participation, cultural heritage and its relation to community wellbeing. Read about Adopt a Monument in the Cultural Heritage in Action catalogue of good practices here. Tampere’s Adopt a Monument programme in a nutshell Adopt a Monument is a grassroots project facilitated by the Pirkanmaa Provincial Museum. It encourages citizens to ‘adopt’ monuments of cultural and historical significance in their environment, to care for them and return them to use. While the adopters do not own the site, they do take on the role of managers in taking responsibility for its upkeep and monitoring its condition. As caretakers of these monuments, they also contribute to raising awareness in the local communities about their heritage by researching the history of the site and holding events there. As the monuments have often been left vacant for many years, this initiative helps to restore their visibility within their communities and greatly enhances their value. Adopt a monument started in Tampere in 2008-2010, developing adoption methods for archaeological heritage. -

Higher Crop Yield Levels in the North Savo Region—Means and Challenges Indicated by Farmers and Their Close Stakeholders

It is also seen as an effective adaptation and mitigation strategy in response to climate change. Our aim is to determine farmers’ and other stakeholders’ views on how higher crop yields can be achieved from their currently low levels. This was investigated in two stakeholder workshops arranged in North Savo, Finland, in 2014 and 2016. The workshop participants, who were organized in discussion groups, considered some agricultural policies to discourage the improvement of crop yields. Policy schemes were seen to support extensification and reduce the motivation for yield improvements. However, the most important means for higher crop yields indicated by workshop participants were improved soil conditions with drainage and liming, in addition to improved crop rotations, better sowing techniques, careful selection of cultivars and forage grass mixtures. -
