ABSTRACT

Nestled in a quiet part of Oulu, Finland, on an Island called Hietasaari, was a residential area called Vaakunakylä. Hietasaari was, from the 19^th century onward, largely undeveloped with an oceanside beach amidst pines, small, cultivated fields and a modest number of expensive villas. Vaakunakylä was a working-class neighborhood, but city planners committed to developing the Island forced the residents to move in the 1980s. The decision to remove the community was influenced by the Finnish state’s commitment to a seemingly classless society living in harmony with nature, and a difficult World War II history of the site. Finland is a Nordic welfare state and marginality in society is sometimes difficult to recognize. In this paper, archaeology is used to counter the city’s narrative about social problems and residential quality of life in Vaakunakylä.

摘要

坐落在芬兰奥卢一个安静的地方，在一个名为 Hietasaari 的岛上，有一个名为 Vaakunakylä 的住宅区。Hietasaari 是，从 19^日一个世纪以后，这里基本上没有开发，有一个松树环绕的海滨海滩、小块耕地和少量昂贵的别墅。Vaakunakylä 是一个工人阶级社区，但致力于开发该岛的城市规划者迫使居民在 1980 年代搬迁。拆除该社区的决定受到芬兰政府对与自然和谐相处的看似无阶级社会的承诺以及该遗址二战艰难历史的影响。芬兰是一个北欧福利国家，社会边缘化有时难以识别。在本文中，考古学被用来反驳城市对 Vaakunakylä 社会问题和居住质量的叙述。
