In Finland, there has been a strong tendency to direct rural development from competitiveness and (traditional) enterprise and industrial policy towards a more holistic, systemic and place-based “vitality policy” including softer development values related to attractive living environments, communality and the well-being of residents. Research on the topic has, however, remained limited and the views of municipalities unaccounted for. Here, the issue of how municipalities themselves regard this shift in their development work was taken under scrutiny using data collected from the rural and peripheral region of North Karelia (Finland). The empirical material was collected from municipal strategies and via face-to-face and telephone interviews with municipal officials. The results show that vitality policy is a holistic place-based tool to develop rural regions involving several policy sectors and a network (system) of organisations from the public, private, and third-sector centred around the municipality, that is, local government. Thus, those involved constitute a quadruple helix of actors engaged in rural development. At the same time, under vitality policy, the municipalities have taken a more active role towards strengthening communality. Nevertheless, if (traditional) enterprise and industrial policy fails, other policy measures will have a limited impact on rural development.

活力政策作为芬兰周边地区农村发展的工具

在芬兰,有一种强烈的趋势是将农村发展从竞争力和(传统)企业和产业政策转向更全面、系统和以地方为基础的“活力政策”,包括与有吸引力的生活环境、社区和居民的福祉。然而,对该主题的研究仍然有限,市政当局的意见下落不明。在这里,市政当局如何看待其发展工作中的这种转变的问题使用从北卡累利阿(芬兰)农村和周边地区收集的数据进行了审查。实证材料是从市政战略以及通过与市政官员的面对面和电话访谈收集的。结果表明,活力政策是一种以地方为基础的整体发展农村地区的工具,涉及多个政策部门和以市政府为中心的公共、私营和第三部门组织网络(系统),即地方政府。因此,参与者构成了参与农村发展的行动者的四重螺旋。与此同时,在活力政策下,市政当局在加强社区方面发挥了更积极的作用。然而,如果(传统)企业和产业政策失败,其他政策措施对农村发展的影响将是有限的。参与方构成了参与农村发展的行动者的四重螺旋。与此同时,在活力政策下,市政当局在加强社区方面发挥了更积极的作用。然而,如果(传统)企业和产业政策失败,其他政策措施对农村发展的影响将是有限的。参与方构成了参与农村发展的行动者的四重螺旋。与此同时,在活力政策下,市政当局在加强社区方面发挥了更积极的作用。然而,如果(传统)企业和产业政策失败,其他政策措施对农村发展的影响将是有限的。
