Abstract (in English)

The historical and cultural values of the postwar reconstruction period housing areas have been officially noticed just quite recently in Finland. At the same time the popularity of these areas has increased. It is feared that technical alterations of the old buildings will disrupt the uniformity and destroy the identity of these neighbourhoods. The Karjasilta neighbourhood in Oulu functions as a pilot area of the study. In the beginning of 2008, a structured resident survey was launched as a part of a new research project, Karjasilta as a residential environment and cultural milieu. The aim is to shed light on the qualities and values of both the physical and social environments - scale, materials and social factors.
