Aims & Scope

Alue ja Ympäristö is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research broadly within the scope of regional science and social scientific environmental research. The journal has been published regularly since 1971, for the first 20 years under the name Aluesuunnittelu and since 1991 under its current name. The journal's author and readership consist of researchers from various disciplines, students, and those who need environmental information in their work, as well as other interested parties. Alue ja Ympäristö is in Finnish, but also selectively publishes texts in other languages that engage with Finnish scientific discussion. The journal's aim is to make scientific discussions in critical, theoretically motivated human geography, regional science, and social and humanistic environmental research accessible, and to support the development of Finnish terminology. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as various other writings, such as lectures, book reviews, and more informal epiphyte texts.
