Multi-locality and municipal finances
Multi-local living, which encompasses work, study, leisure, and family relationships, represents a lifestyle whereby individuals move between and reside in multiple locations. It has become increasingly common in Europe, particularly in the Nordic countries, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and the UK, driven by individualized lifestyles and changes in work habits facilitated by digital infrastructure and transport solutions. Despite its growing po…
Socio-economic impacts of different categories of state expenditure in urban and rural regions
Decisions regarding the geographical allocation of state expenditure are important factors determining regional development and cohesion. However, the topic has received little scholarly attention due to limited data availability. Here such data were collected to uncover how state expenditure is allocated in Finland. The results reveal that while the Finnish state expenditure system is a redistributive one, the current structure of state expendit…

Emerging spatial clusters of energy poverty vulnerability in rural Finland—Byproducts of accumulated regional development
This geospatial research on Finnish energy poverty reveals that rural areas have potentially higher energy poverty vulnerability than urban areas. The analyses focus on household energy expenditures (HEE) in postcode areas and detect local high or low HEE determinants. The urban-rural typology is applied and found relevant when studying energy poverty and identifying spatial dependencies. The findings demonstrate that rural areas are more vulnera…
Seasonal mobility of populations and allocation of police resources in Finland
This study analyses the impact of the seasonal mobility of populations on the emergency response times (ERT) of the police. The concept of multi-locality increases the mobility of people but, however, the public service structures of the society and different administrative systems do not sufficiently account for that. The results of the mixed-model regression demonstrate the challenges in the police resources allocation when people are acting in…
Primary school closures and population development – is school vitality an investment in the attractiveness of the (rural) communities or not
Over the last two decades, many municipalities in Finland have attempted to cut costs by closing small schools. In particular, rural schools with low enrolment have been the target of these savings. The main argument has been that out-migration and depopulation require adjustments to public infrastructure. This continuing tendency has raised many concerns about the effect of school closures on rural development, and remains a controversial issue …
Population grid-based assessment of the impact of broadband expansion on population development in rural areas
Seasonal residence and counterurbanization
Since the late twentieth century, many developed countries have experienced population deconcentration, labelled as counterurbanization. There has been an academic discussion on the meaning, validity and universality of this concept, drivers of counterurbanization and its impacts on rural areas. To date, research on counterurbanization mostly apply static and discrete definitions of residence, migration and population, which is an increasingly si…
Regional socio-economic impacts of decentralised bioeconomy
Estimating Regional Input Coefficients and Multipliers
Lehtonen O. and Tykkyläinen M. Estimating regional input coefficients and multipliers: is the choice of a non-survey technique a gamble?, Regional Studies. Regional input–output tables are frequently estimated using regionalization techniques, which saves time and money. This paper presents an evaluation of four location quotient regionalization techniques in twenty regions which addresses the issue of the impacts of the properties of a region on…
Self-reinforcing spatial clusters of migration and socio-economic conditions in Finland in 1998–2006
Russian Roundwood Exports
Two economic geographers based in Finland use time series analysis and an inputoutput model to evaluate the economic effects of tariffs imposed on Russian roundwood exports on the economy of a Finnish border region heavily dependent on Russian timber supplies. The authors demonstrate the serious economic consequences of the possible cessation of Finnish imports after 2009, by analyzing the depths of the impacts on the regional economy, and option…
