Luontotyypin, maalajin ja maapohjan kaltevuuden vaikutus polkujen kulumiseen Etelä-Konneveden kansallispuistossa

2016

Luonnonympäristöihin suuntautuvan matkailun ja luonnon virkistyskäytön suosio on jatkuvassa kasvussa. Luontomatkailulla on positiivisia vaikutuksia terveydellisesti, sosiaalisesti ja taloudellisesti, mutta kasvaneiden kävijämäärien on todettu muuttavan myös alueen luontoa. Monilla alueilla merkittävin kävijävaikutus on maapohjan kuluminen tallauksen vaikutuksesta. Suomessa suosituimpia luontomatkailukohteita ovat kansallispuistot. Kansallispuistoja hallinnoiva Metsähallitus pyrkii minimoimaan virkistyskäytön luontovaikutuksia muun muassa puistosuunnittelulla. Kun tiedetään maapohjan kulumisherkkyys eri kasvupaikkatyypeissä, uudet retkeilyreitit voidaan sijoittaa tallausta paremmin kestävill…

Seuranta YVA- ja ympäristölupamenettelyissä

2015

The aim of environmental monitoring or follow-up is to detect changes in the environment over time and, if needed, to conduct preventive or mitigative actions based on monitoring results to minimize negative environmental effects. In the projects potentially causing significant environmental impacts, follow-up should consist of monitoring program presented in the environmental impact statement (EIS) and of monitoring obligations documented in the environmental permit. In this study, the quality and usability of monitoring programs presented in the EISs of Finnish peat production, crushed stone aggregate and dump projects were investigated. The study was conducted by a three-step content ana…

Finnair competitive advantage through environmental responsibility

2011

Air transportation plays a vital role in many aspects of our every day life. Due to strong growth and the increasing amount of green house gases released, the aviation industry cannot be considered as operating sustainable. To change this all stakeholders of the aviation industry have to act. A special role hereby play the airlines as they can most directly influence the amount of green houses gases released e.g. by operating modern and fuel efficient aircraft. Offering flights that are producing less emissions has its price as e.g. acquiring modern aircraft can be very costly. At the same time competition between airlines is getting continually tougher forcing also established airlines to …

Ympäristövaikutusten arviointiin liittyvät selvitykset maatuulivoimahankkeissa

2016

Euroopan Unioni on asettanut Suomelle tavoitteeksi tuottaa 38 % energian loppukulutuksesta uusiutuvilla energiantuotantolähteillä vuonna 2020. Tuulivoima on Suomessa varsin uusi energiantuotantomuoto, minkä vuoksi tuulivoimahankkeiden YVA-menettelyjen (ympäristövaikutusten arviointimenettely) toteuttamistavat vaihtelevat paljon hankkeiden välillä. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, miten maatuulivoimaloiden ympäristövaikutuksia on Suomessa arvioitu. Tarkastelu rajattiin tuulivoiman merkittävimpiin vaikutuksiin ja tutkimuksen laatijan omiin mielenkiinnon kohteisiin. Tutkimus on toteutettu dokumenttianalyysinä ennen vuoden 2014 syksyä valmistuneista YVA-selostuksista kaksivaiheisella koodausme…

Meeting the WHO 24-h guidelines among 2–6-year-old children by family socioeconomic status before and during the COVID-19 pandemic : a repeated cross…

2023

Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed guidelines for 24-h physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour and sleep for young children. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to a lower likelihood of meeting these guidelines. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) raised concerns about young children’s opportunities to meet the guidelines. The study focused on the prevalence of meeting the WHO’s 24-h guidelines on screen time (ST), PA and sleep among 2–6-year-old children, in association with family SES, before COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, and during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 in Finland. Methods Data were collected at three timepoints by an o…

The use of digital analytics for measuring and optimizing digital marketing performance

2016

Demonstrating the monetary outcomes of marketing is no longer considered a virtue but a necessity by the top management. Marketers are increasingly held accountable for their actions, yet most marketers struggle in their attempts to measure marketing performance. The emergence of digital analytics tools (e.g., Web analytics) has raised optimism of improved measurability due to its ability to track customer behavior in the digital environment. However, research lacks a clear understanding of the opportunities and limitations of digital analytics, and what it takes from an organization to make the most of its usage. The dissertation advances the knowledge in this area by investigating how ind…

Co-creation with Companies : A Means to Enhance Societal Impact of University Researchers?

2019

In this chapter, we explore co-creation as a form of societal interaction of science. We approach co-creation as a goal-oriented form of dynamic interaction aiming at mutual benefit of all parties. As such, we exclude technology transfer and other linear societal interaction forms that follow a closed-model innovation format. We argue that focusing solely on tapping the needs of researchers and ‘pure’ science would lead to ignoring the broader context in which researchers work. An excessive focus on meeting the needs of external stakeholders could jeopardize the preconditions of science. Hence, this chapter explores how researcher-company co-creation can be nurtured in a heavily institution…
