State of the Nation reportFinland 2013 (ROTI)

Investments in infrastructure low in Finland

Condition of transport networks is weakening

Transport networks

• HIGH MARKS:- For the improvement of the quality of service of public transport and the establishment of preconditions for further development: electronic services, and the law on public transport.- For the culture of working together which is emerging as a result of new implementation models: alliances and life cycle projects- To the users for their patience in dealing with occasional deterioration in the level of service

LOW MARKS:- For national transport policy, which is drafted without an overall picture of the transport system- To state and local authorities for short-sightedness in maintenance, and insufficient funding- For inadequate resources of the buyers which block progress and slow the improvement of productivity

State of buildings is also getting worse

Buildings

HIGH MARKS- For the awakening of officials and companies to the need for a resolute fight against the grey economy- For the successful work by players in the sector to improve energy efficiency- For the exemplary proactive maintenance practiced by progressive-minded owners of buildings

LOW MARKS- For the low level of official guidance in building maintenance – drafting long-term maintenance plans is not enough- For the fluctuation in how orders handed down by building supervision officials are interpreted by local authorities, especially in renovations and fire safety- To the building sector for the repetition of the same shortcomings in quality and the lack of improvement in skills

Good past development in the state of municipal infra reversed

Municipal infra

• HIGH MARKS:- For the energy-efficiency and ecological efficiency of district heating and district cooling- For the strong growth of recovering energy in waste management- For the possibilities opened up by the remote reading of electricity and heat energy meters in the improvement of energy efficiency

LOW MARKS:- To local authorities for the deterioration of street networks caused by cutbacks in maintenance- To the government for falling far behind its goals in its goals for improving and speeding up the licensing and official processing of various projects- For the weak national preparedness for the capacity of internet services required by the new generation in the ageing data networks of cities and built-up areas

Hopes of improvement in Education and R&D

Education and R&D

• HIGH MARKS:- To the efforts of all parties in the reorganisation of the field of research- For the new kind of pro-development attitudes of the companies in the field- For the cooperation and role differentiation enacted by the institutions of education

LOW MARKS:- For the overly cautious roles of the state and local authorities in taking advantage of innovative procurement methods- For the lack of cooperation between universities and the business community- For the slow renewal of models of further training
