In 1998 EEA published Guidelines for the implementation of the EUROWATERNET monitoring network for inland waters. In every Member Country a monitoring network should be designed according to these Guidelines and put into operation.

In the future they will be developed to meet the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. This publication presents the Finnish EUROWATERNET monitoring network put into operation from the first of January, 2000. It includes a total of 195 river sites, 253 lake sites and 74 hydrological baseline sites. Groundwater monitoring network will be developed later.

The concentrations of radioactive cesium and other gamma-emitting nuclides were determined on meat of moose8 and other cervids and also on small game in various parts of the country before or in the beginning of the hunting season. The most important radionuclides found in the samples were 134Cs and 137Cs. In addition to these, 131I was detected in the first moose meat samples in the spring, and 110"Ag in a part of the waterfowl samples. None of them was significant as far as the dietary intake of radionuclides is concerned. The transfer of fallout radiocesium to game meat was most efficient in the case of the arctic hare and inland waterfowl; terrestrial game birds and the brown hare belonged to the same category as moose.

  • Heritage and Identity in NORTH KARELIA – FINLAND
    heritage and identity in NORTH KARELIA – FINLAND Diënne van der Burg University of Groningen/ University of Joensuu Faculty of Spatial Sciences/ Department of Geography April 2005 Heritage and Identity in North Karelia - Finland Diënne van der Burg Student number 1073176 Master’s thesis Cultural Geography April 2005 University of Groningen/ Faculty of Spatial Sciences/ Dr. P. D. Groote University of Joensuu/ Department of Geography/ Senior Assistant Professor Minna Piipponen Heritage and Identity in North Karelia 2 Abstract The region of North Karelia can be identified in different ways. Identity can be seen as the link between people, heritage and place. People want to identify themselves with a place, because for them that place has a special character. Many features distinguish places from each other and heritage is one of these features that contribute to the identity of a place and to the identification of individuals and groups within that specific place. Therefore heritage is an important contributor when people identify themselves with a place. Nowadays the interest in heritage and identity is strong in the context of processes of globalisation. Globalisation has resulted in openness and heterogeneousness in terms of place and culture. More and more, identities are being questioned and globalisation has caused nationalism and regionalism in which heritage is used to justify the construction of identities. Karelia North Karelia can be seen as part of Karelia as a whole. Karelia is situated partly in Finland and partly in Russia and that makes it a border area. Karelia is a social-cultural constructed area with no official boundaries. The shape, size and its inhabitants changed many times during the centuries.
