Åland Figure 1: Regions of Finland (Source: Regional Councils of Finland, (Http://www.reg.fi)) The data analysed in the studies this dissertation is based upon pertain to firms in two Finnish regions, Eastern Finland (rural) and the Helsinki region (urban). The definitions of rural and urban areas are based on Eurostat NUTS population density criteria (Http://ec.europa.eu./eurostat/Ramon/nuts/introduction_regions_en.html). Eastern Finland includes the regions Etelä-Savo, Kainuu, Pohjois-Karjala and Pohjois-Savo, which have a population density of slightly less than 8 inhabitants per km2 (NUTS classification FI13; rural areas). The Helsinki region includes the capital city of Finland and has a population density of around 222 inhabitants per km2 (NUTS FI181; urban area).
81 Appendixes According to Eurostat, at the local level (NUTS 5), a rural community is defined as an area with a population density of less than 150 inhabitants per km2 . At a regional level (NUTS 3), a community is classified as significantly rural if 15% to 50% of the population live in rural areas, and as predominantly urban if less than 15% of the population live in rural areas. Thus, in this study, the Helsinki region was classified as an urban area and Eastern Finland as a rural area (Appendix 3, Firm population and workforce characteristics of Finland, Eastern Finland and the Helsinki Region during 2002-2005).
