In Finland driving license and own car! Public transport is insufficient in the
rural areas, especially during the summer holidays of schools.
In Germany the closeness of relatives. Different kinds of social and health care
systems and cultures.
The rural areas in Finland and Germany face same problems
- services die out
- distances grow longer
But…Still there is a big difference between distances in Finland and Germany…
The results are comparable only in the issues which have been presented
The aim of Emotionaal project was to support
with ICT solutions the elderly people in rural areas – but
in Finland the most thankful group has been the people from summer residences
The presence of a nurse increases the interest
to visit the health corner
The respondents in Finland prefer to do health measurements at home, not in village shop or village school
Health corner alone does not attract people, there needs to be a person present – such as a nurse!!!
The respondents did not have a lot of interest to get more services to the village shop
Respondents in Finland had the feeling that they are worse off because they are living in sparsely populated areas – the services are not offered in all areas
