Porvoon Ja Lohjan Kaupunkien Esityksen Perustelumuistio
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 -

Marine Midge Telmatogeton Japonicus Tokunaga (Diptera: Chironomidae) Exploiting Brackish Water in Finland

Previous records of the species in the Baltic Sea were from Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland. Telmatogeton japonicus is an alien species introduced to Europe from the Pacific Ocean. It probably uses shipping as the vector, since in north-western Europe it has first been detected near large seaports. This was also the case in the Gulf of Finland. Our findings suggests that the species’ distribution extends further northeast in the Baltic Sea than understood before, and that the species is able to establish viable populations into fresh-brackish (salinity < 4 ‰) coastal habitats. Key words: Telmatogeton japonicus, Chironomidae, pupal exuviae, Gulf of Finland Benthic macroinvertabrate communities in the 2005; Raunio 2008) to assess chironomid littoral and sub-littoral zones in the Gulf of community composition in three areas in the Finland (Baltic Sea) are rather poorly known, as Gulf of Finland (Figure 1). -

Helsinki has always been a wooden city 1.1. Early days of wooden city Helsinki has always been a city of wooden buildings. Since its founding in 1550 until the late 19th century, wood was the main material of buildings. The city structure was formed by one and two storey wooden city blocks, where working-class people lived. Only the state and church could afford construction in brick or stone. Big city fires have destroyed Helsinki totally or partially approximately once a century between 1550-1900. 1.2. Historical wooden house districts Helsinki expanded rapidly in the early 1900s. Several working-class wooden house dis- tricts were developed to ease the considerable housing shortage. Many of these neigh- bourhoods were demolished in the big wave of urbanization of 1960s and 1970s, but at the same time the remaining wooden house districts were protected. The formerly working-class neighbourhoods then transformed into middle-class neigh- bourhoods favoured by urban bohemians, complete with corner bars, cafés and small street-level shops. -
