This research focuses on perceptions of rurality in Finland. The chapter presents
two different ways of delineating contemporary rural living: the approach of the Finnish
Rural Policy Committee and the alternative approach arising from definitions given by the
people living in rural Finland. The main aim is to study how the cultural meanings that
rural residents attach to their home environments relate to the official vision of ‘Residential
Rural Areas’ proposed by the Rural Policy Committee. This is done by comparing the
experiential knowledge of rural residents to the official vision of future rurality. The
research provides knowledge that can be used to evaluate the cultural sustainability of
proposed development actions. This ethnographic research is grounded on fieldwork
conducted during 2009 in rural areas of Central Finland.
