Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli osaltaan edistää saunakorttelin kehittämistä matkailukohteena. Tutkimus tehtiin toimeksiantona Pispalan saunayhdistykselle. Teoreettisessa viitekehyksessä taustoitetaan saunan kulttuurihistoriallista menneisyyttä ja tulevaisuuden kehitykseen mahdollisesti vaikuttavia trendejä, ja tarkastellaan asiakaslähtöisyyttä ja asiakastyytyväisyystutkimuksen merkitystä sekä mainetta, imagoa ja brändiä. Tutkimus toteutettiin maalis-elokuun 2013 aikana haastattelemalla saunan asiakkaita ja keräämällä aineistoa lomakekyselyllä paperilla ja sähköisesti. Tutkimusta varten haastateltiin 55 henkilöä. Paperisen kyselylomakkeen täytti 73 vastaajaa ja 74 vastaajaa osallistui kyselyyn sähköisellä e-lomakkeella. Yhteensä tutkimukseen osallistui 202 henkilöä. Vastaukset analysoitiin laadullisen (kvalitatiivisen) tutkimuksen sekä osin määrällisen (kvantitatiivisen) tutkimuksen menetelmin. Laadullisia menetelmiä haluttiin painottaa, koska haluttiin päästä mahdollisimman lähelle niin sanottua

In addition, the interest towards national parks has grown, which can be seen also as an increasing trend in the development of the number of visits to national parks. The aim of this thesis is to explain the cross-sectional variation in the visitation data representing different parks and hiking areas. Another aim is to explore the question of why the visitation in national parks has increased in Finland. These questions are studied separately for the national parks and hiking areas, because the development of the number of visits in national parks and hiking areas has been different. In addition, the separation is made also between Southern Finland and Northern Finland due to for example the size differences and close link of the national parks in Northern Finland with the ski-resort centers. Explanatory factors are divided into supply side factors (services inside and outside the park) and demand side factors (economic and demographics factors).

These recommendations were updated several times. In 2007, the guidelines were revised completely and their coverage enhanced. In 2010, and further now in 2014, the structure and theme emphasis were somewhat altered and quite a few supplementations and specifications were added. The document describes the role of protected areas in the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, defines protected areas in Finland and explains the basis of their adaptive planning and management.

Prior to this, the Ministerial Working Group on Administration and Regional Development had favoured the approval of the policy on 20 June 2012.

The action plan aims to utilise the characteristics of the islands, the sea and watercourses in particular, in the following priority areas: Municipal and regional policy, Businesses and employment, Permanent and recreational dwelling, Transport and data communication connections, and Environment, nature and culture.

Seagulls circle above and keep a sharp lookout for ice cream cones and other human treats. Cargo ships, cruise vessels and sailing boats float by on the horizon. The locals love the sea, often packing a picnic basket and heading for one of the many islands just off the coast. Sunbathers board ferries for the sandy beaches. Those who live by the sea will stroll down to their local beach and cool their feet in the water.

Finland is the country richest in waters and more of the richest in islands in Europe. We boast 76,000 islands with an area of 0.5 hectares or more, 56,000 lakes with an area of one hectare or more, 36,800 kilome- tres of river bed wider than fi ve metres and 336,000 kilometres of shore- eemeli / peltonen vAStAvAlo line. Every Finnish municipality has waters, and most contain islands. The number of islands with either permanent or part-time inhabitants amounts to around 20,000. Every island, lake and river has its place in the hearts of Finns. This brochure describes these unique riches. Its multitude of islands and waters makes the Finnish landscape frag- mented, creating extra costs for the economy, the State and local author- ities, but it is also an incomparable resource. Our islands, seas, lakes, riv- ers and shores are excellent regional assets in a world that thrives increas- ingly on producing unique experiences. Island municipalities and part- island municipalities boast a large range of sources of livelihood, although structural changes have decreased the number of jobs over the years.
