data on planning systems Spatial
planning in Finland Inkeri
Vähä-Piikkiö Finland Basic
information (to be expanded) Planning
systems in the Society: democratic (?) social
agreements for some time. Land use
planning has tradionally been used in Finland to
start construction or to settle
infrastructure/estate interests. The Finnish
land use planning is shortly described in the
following at system level and function in
(national)/regional/municipal local
plans: National The
governmental goals for land use (2000) define
ecologically sustainable development as sustainable
use of energy and materials, tolerable pollution and
preserving biodiversity- ? Biodiversity is seen as
recreational, tourist and shoreline issues in
regional planning. Urban
densification is needed for housing policy
especially in the Capital Region. &endash;
The rhetoric EIA does not find any
environmental/political hotspots . Regional Traditionally
The Plans for Nature Conservation and Recreation,
but now: If any, the urbanisation goals
follow regional economic, infrastructure
and housing
policies (ERD). Biodiversity is seen as late
national conservation areas, in the Capital Region
rural elk trails and present public
rural recreation
areas in the fringe(!). Municipal
General and Local Plans: Utmost
importance locally! No Green Structure Plans!
Depending on the growth and politics: Mainly for
housing, estate business uses or traffic planning
(Helsinki 1994-2000). Urban greeneries one of the
least issues. Minimal national conservation +
planned greeneries, standard recreative
parks (average total costs less than 0,3 %
Municipal Annual Budjets). Institutionalised
reprecentative democracy somewhat in a crisis with
passive voters- local participatory
campaigns. National
