FINNISH PEOPLE'S DAILY ACTIVITIES AND NEEDS FOR MOVING

The target is to describe the advantages and benefits that traffic and road networks have given to people's daily activities. The subject has been approached from many different quarters both quantitatively and qualitatively. The research have dealt with, as a literature observation, the modelling of people's daily activities. This kind of modelling seems to be a demanding and difficult task. Both the information of the theory and the acquisition of the useful data causes difficulties. The most important end point of the trips has been and still is the home. Finnish people have in this respect their own special feature, as the majority, in addition to the main home, own a summer cottage as a weekend home.
