Ensisijaisena tavoitteena on analysoida paikannimien roolia fiktiivisen Helsinki-kuvan rakentamisessa. Lisäksi pyritään muodostamaan kokonaisvaltainen käsitys siitä, millaisia paikannimiä romaaneissa esiintyy. Tutkimuksen aineistona on Kuka murhasi rouva Skrofin? (1939) ja Komisario Palmun erehdys (1940) -romaanien paikannimet. Tutkimusaineistossa on yhteensä 58 paikannimeä. Näistä 39 nimeä viittaa Helsingissä sijaitseviin paikkoihin. 12 nimistä on ulkomailla sijaitsevien paikkojen nimiä ja seitsemän taas viittaa muualla Suomessa sijaitseviin paikkoihin. Nimistä 52 on autenttisia paikannimiä ja kuusi fiktiivisiä. Suurin osa nimistä viittaa alueisiin (25 nimeä), kulkuväyliin ja rakennelmiin

    Aalto University ELEC-E8002 & ELEC-E8003 Project work course Year 2017 Project plan Project #12 Case Korkeasaari Date: 26.1.2017 Janne Lappi Mikko Poranen Laura Syvänne Ville Kärnä Miro Rosenström Information page Students Janne Lappi Mikko Poranen Laura Syvänne Ville Kärnä Miro Rosenström Project manager Janne Lappi Official Instructor Jaakko Ketomäki Other advisors Jari Viinanen Petteri Huuska Marjo Priha Starting date 5.1.2017 Approval The Instructor has accepted the final version of this document Date: 25.1.2017 1. Background City of Helsinki has a mission to be carbon neutral in 2050. There’s a half a million visitors in Korkeasaari Zoo every year. Hence Korkeasaari has a lot of visibility and a great chance to be the trailblazer and advisor when Helsinki is reaching towards carbon neutrality. The Zoo would set an example and educate visitors and corporations to act in an environmentally friendly manner. Carbon neutral Korkeasaari will improve the whole image of Helsinki and Finland. Environmental friendliness will again make the Zoo more fascinating and stimulating, which has a positive impact on visitor satisfaction. With smart actions it is possible to decrease energy consumption and thereby decrease costs of energy in Korkeasaari. Previous energy review for Korkeasaari was done in 1998. In 2016 Korkeasaari and the city of Helsinki began planning new energy vision for the zoo. New strategy is to transform Korkeasaari carbon neutral by 2025. Buildings and structures of the zoo are old and thereby neither in good condition nor energy efficient. Korkeasaari forms also a significant part of the electricity consumption of Helsinki.

Viewed from the perspective of several hundred years of history, the Arctic character and Northernness have never been recorded in the development plans or government programmes for the area that later became known as Finland in as much detail as they were in Finland’s Arctic Strategy published in 2010.
