  • Political Areas of Competition in Southwest Finland: a Cluster Analysis of Parliamentary Election Data from Three Levels of Aggregation
    Research on Finnish Society Vol. 11 (2018), pp. 24-43 Political areas of competition in Southwest Finland: A cluster analysis of parliamentary election data from three levels of aggregation Lasse Nurmi and Tommi Meskanen Abstract This research utilizes the methods of geography, mathematics and political ecology to outline the political areas and to define the profiles of political competition within the region of Southwest Finland using parliamentary election results from the 2010s. Additionally the research investigates the areal concentration and dispersion of support for the par- liamentary parties and the effect of the regional level of aggregation to the concentration of the political support. Our research questions are: (1) are there distinctive political areas in Southwest Finland? And (2) can political areas of stable and unstable competition patterns be identified by investigating election results over time? Using cluster analysis and map visualizations we show that there are distinctive political areas of competition to be found in contemporary Southwest Finland and that the map of political support changes significantly at the municipal and polling district levels. Keywords: electoral geography, cluster analysis, parliamentary elections, political areas Introduction This study has both theoretical and practical aims: (1) we test cluster analysis as a means of describing the competition constellations between parties, and (2) through cluster analysis and studying electoral support on different levels of aggregation we provide information about the diversity of party support. This information can be used, for example, to decide at which geographical area it would be useful to allocate campaign resources for maximum impact, and what kinds of candidates a party should recruit to increase its support in areas of low support.

  • Local Culture As a Resource in Regional Development in the Southwest-Finland Archipelago
    LOCAL CU LT U RE AS A ResOURCE in REGIONAL DevelOPment in THE SOutHWest-FinlAND ARCHIPelAGO KATRiinA SiivOnen PhD, Senior Researcher, Docent Finland Futures Research Centre 20014 University of Turku, Finland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In cultural and regional politics in the European Union, and in practice for instance in the Southwest-Finland Archipelago, local culture and cultural heritage are con- sidered resources. Global boundlessness, heterogeneity and change are basic qual- ities of culture. However, in regional development, culture is seen and used as a number of different local cultures with their own essential cultural heritage. The culture of local everyday life is opposite to, and in tension with, the con- struct of cultures used in regional development. Accordingly, culture should pri- marily be safeguarded as a heterogenic, dynamic and interactive process of eve- ryday life. This process is the most important resource of local culture. In addi- tion, culture should be safeguarded as value-based cultural constructions, such as brands or common identities of certain cultures, with for instance cultural heritage as a part of it. In the latter case, a common, transparent definition of these brands, identities and cultural heritages with their different values, is needed. KEYWORDS: cultural sustainability ● regional development ● Southwest-Finland Archipelago ● everyday culture ● production of cultural heritage HOW CultuRE funCtiOns AS A ResOURCE? In this article I analyse local cultural identities in everyday life, and cultural elements used as brands or identities in local development work in the Southwest-Finland Archi- pelago. Local cultural elements and identities can be seen as resources in many ways.

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.
