Provinces Of Finland
Between 1634 and 2009, Finland was administered as several provinces ( fi, Suomen läänit, sv, Finlands län). Finland had always been a unitary state: the provincial authorities were part of the central government's executive branch and apart from Åland, the provinces had little autonomy. There were never any elected provincial parliaments in continental Finland. The system was initially created in 1634. Its makeup was changed drastically on 1 September 1997, when the number of the provinces was reduced from twelve to six. This effectively made them purely administrative units, as linguistic and cultural boundaries no longer followed the borders of the provinces. The provinces were eventually abolished at the end of 2009. Consequently, different ministries may subdivide their areal organization differently. Besides the former provinces, the municipalities of Finland form the fundamental subdivisions of the country. In current use are the regions of Finland, a smaller subdiv ...

Haapaniemi
Haapaniemi is a district in the city of Kuopio, Finland. It is located south of downtown, about a mile from the market square. The district has a population of about 4,000. The northern end of Saaristokatu, which runs to the archipelago city, leads to Haapaniemi, as does the southern ramp leading to the center of the motorway. A villa district was designed in the area in an architectural competition held in 1899, which was won by architect Lars Sonck for Haapaniemi. On the basis of the competition entries, a draft town plan was prepared for the area, which was followed. However, the entry of industrial plants into the area in the early 20th century buried the idea of a villa district and housing was created for the working population in the area. The area includes the Haapaniemi Power Plant of Kuopio Energia, and Kuopio University Hospital.
