Trends in Finnish geography in 1920-1979 in the light of the journals of the period
Abstract
A detailed, broad‑based analysis of Finnish geographical research during the period since Independence (1920–1979) is presented, derived from evidence contained in the corresponding journals. As a background to this, some account is given first of earlier research of this kind, certain theoretical aspects and the institutional and philosophical development of geography during the period in question. The actual material is covered in the following order: (1) volume analysis, (2) analysis of branches of research, (3) analysis of areas studied, and (4) analysis of methods and presentation. The results of the analyses are used to construct a synthetic description of trends in Finnish geographical research over the Independence period. Finally, the factors affecting these trends are discussed.
