Item Farm to Fork in Nepalese Hospitality(Aalto University, 2024) Hong, Jimin; Sirén, Nina; Padmi, Ni Luh Nyoman Shita Sekar; Kosamo, Silja; Ylösjoki, Vilma; Rakennetun ympäristön laitos; Department of Built Environment; Sustainable Global Technologies; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringThis report talks about the learning journey experienced by five master’s students from Aalto University who participated in the Sustainable Global Technologies (SGT) Studio course. During the process, we explored sustainability of food systems in the Nepalese hospitality industry. This report is a summary of key findings to be shared with our collaborators and to benefit those who study the topic in the future. Findings were collected through qualitative working methods, consisting of literature review, interviews, observations and workshops.Item Hedoniset hintamallit ja alueelliset asuntomarkkinat(Aalto University, 2016) Vuorio, Lauri; Jahkonen Eetu; Rakennetun ympäristön laitos; Department of Built Environment; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringUseissa tutkimuksissa on todettu asuntomarkkinoiden olevan heterogeenisiä suurten kaupunkialueiden sisällä. Näin ollen asuntojen hintaan vaikuttavat tekijät saattavat olla erilaisia kaupunkien sisällä sijaitsevilla osamarkkinoilla. Tässä harjoitustyössä tutkittiin kerrostaloasuntojen hintaan vaikuttavia tekijöitä Helsingin kaupungin alueella estimoiden usean selittävän muuttujan regressiomalli pienimmän neliösumman menetelmällä. Tilastollisesti hyvin merkitsevien tulosten perusteella voidaan esittää Helsingin neljän eri osamarkkinan olevan hinnanmuodostukseltaan varsin erilaiset, sillä hintamallin selittävät muuttujat poikkesivat eri alueilla toisistaan. Arvokkaimman, keskusta-alueen hintamalli oli selitysasteeltaan selvästi tarkin (yli 90 %), mikä indikoi kyseisen alueen olevan selvästi homogeenisin neljästä alueesta. Toiseksi arvokkain alue vaikutti niin ikään hyvin homogeeniseltä. Tutkimuksessa ei otettu kantaa estimoitujen hintamallien tarkkuuteen yksittäisten asuntokauppojen hintojen selittäjänä. Jatkossa useita erilaisia Helsingin kaupunkialueen aluejakoja testaten olisi mahdollista tarkentaa eri osamarkkinoiden maantieteellistä rajautumista ja hintamalleja entisestään.Item Helsingin, Espoon, Kauniaisten ja Vantaan kalleimpien asuinalueiden eroavaisuudet ja niiden syyt(Aalto University, 2016) Ahokas, Iisa; Ahokas, Meri; Frilander, Nelli; Kolehmainen, Anni; Rakennetun ympäristön laitos; Department of Built Environment; Real Estate Economics; Kiinteistötalouden tutkimusryhmä; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringItem Asuminen kielialueittain Helsingissä - Harjoitustyö(Aalto University, 2016) Ahonen, Iina; Liu, Winnie; Myllärinen, Riikka; Ruottinen, Bettina; Saari, Ulla; Rakennetun ympäristön laitos; Department of Built Environment; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringItem Gamification of Education: Cities Skylines as an Educational Tool for Real Estate and Land Use Planning Studies(Aalto University, 2015) Haahtela, Pyry; Maankäyttötieteiden laitos; Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringComputer games and other simulations have for a long time been used as a teaching method all around the world. They give a comprehensive, but simplified view of the reality to students with a hands-on approach to problems. Games as a teaching method offer competitiveness and a chance to see the results of decision-making in real time. These elements offer a different kind of inner motivation to learning, which usually is highly welcomed among students. Computer games give a contrast to the everyday not-so-interactive class teaching, and therefore have gained high popularity in schools and universities as a method for engagement.Cities Skylines is a city planning game that offers a simplified city planning experience, but also a surprisingly in-depth understanding of a city and its various functions. Alas, the planning system in the game is streamlined and does not include a realistic view of a city planning process with its multiple participants and developers. However, the city as a functioning system is well modeled and has some real potential for educational purposes. As a stand-alone game Cities Skylines does not fully meet the requirements for an educational game in the field of real estate or city planning. Nonetheless, the game is an exceptionally well developed platform and supports plethora of modifications. With a select few, well-thought modifications, the game would support educational uses, especially city planning problem solving using scenarios.Item The Effect of Energy Classifications on Housing Prices(Aalto University, 2015) Häyrynen, Jenna; Katainen, Anna; Rantala, Emmi; Seppälä, Maija; Seppälä, Veera; Sperling, Ella; Virtanen, Laura; Maankäyttötieteiden laitos; Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics; Game in Urban Planning; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringPrevious researches have provided contradictory results on the effect of energy classifications. It seems that the effects are limited only to the highest energy classifications (A & B) while the lowest classifications seem to have little or no effect, suggesting that the housing prices are consisted of completely different factors than this. The methods for this study are literature review in addition to a regression analysis using available open data. Our regression model supported the previous results but also indicated the need to perform further research on the topic and develop the existing model by all odds, e.g. increasing the amount of variables or changing the current ones.Item Open data appetite: How nations' hunger for open government data varies with their economic complexity(Aalto University, 2015) Savenkov, Anthony; Maankäyttötieteiden laitos; Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringThere are significant cross-national differences in government data openness.The research takes an economic complexity perspective to help explain this phenomenon.It theoretically explores the notion that data openness is more valuable to complex economies, and that a nation's economic complexity is thereby an incentive to “open up” and exploit government data. Empirical data from ninety-four countries is used to test the relationship between economic complexity and government data openness. The tests indicate a moderate to strong link.Item Attractiveness of Different Districts in Helsinki: Segregation in Terms of Poor Financial and Educational Status of the Residents(Aalto University, 2015) Anttila, Linda; Korpela, Topi; Lammi, Saskia; Pääkkönen, Laura; Tani, Ilkka; Maankäyttötieteiden laitos; Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics; Real Estate Economics; Kiinteistötalouden tutkimusryhmä; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringThe aim of this research is to study attractiveness of different districts in Helsinki. The research tries to find out if there are differences, and on the other hand, similarities between different districts in Helsinki if the financial and educational status of the residents are compared. The main research question is; are there some districts in Helsinki that have a risk to segregate in terms of poor financial and educational status of the residents? Previous researches related to this topic were mainly related to either educational segregation or economic segregation but there is a lack of researches which concentrate on the both aspects at the same time, and take also bad credit history into consideration. This study is based on three different open data sets, two datasets from Paavo and one from Suomen Asiakastieto. In order to find out if there is segregation based on the average income, education level and bad credit history we use clustering analysis and especially dendrograms to analyze the data. In this study dendrograms are used for hierarchical cluster analysis. All of the dendrograms are created in IBM SPSS Statistics 22 -program. The results derived from two dendrograms and a proximity matrix created indicate that in general all of the areas in Helsinki are quite similar with each other. However, the dissimilarity between the extremities is eminent.Item Vuokriin vaikuttavat tekijät Helsingin kantakaupunkialueella - Ryhmätyö(Aalto University, 2015) Turunen, Mikko; Köykkä, Miro; Rantanen, Teemu; Eilavaara, Vili; Kupari, Mikko; Maankäyttötieteiden laitos; Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics; Real Estate Economics; Kiinteistötalouden tutkimusryhmä; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringItem Vuokratuottoihin vaikuttavat tekijät Helsingissä - Harjoitustyö(Aalto University, 2015) Isomöttönen, Jouni; Nurmi, Kalle; Viirimäki, Juuso; Maankäyttötieteiden laitos; Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringItem Biomass Gasification(Aalto University, 2011) Kouhia, Mikko; Energiatekniikan laitos; Department of Energy Technology; Insinööritieteiden korkeakoulu; School of EngineeringThere is great interest in the utilization of biomass in high efficiency power generation and in the production of high quality synthetic fuels and chemicals. Gasification, among biochemical conversion, is one way to achieve this goal. In this report the operational principle of gasification is reviewed, an analysis of different biomasses is presented and the main gasifier types are examined. The product gas composition, cleaning and utilization are examined and the commercial status of gasification is studied. There are many ways to gasify biomass, but the most common way in medium-to-large scale is to use atmospheric circulating fluidized bed gasifiers; downdraught fixed bed gasifiers are used in a smaller scale. Gasification has not yet achieved extensive usage, but it is likely to be utilized increasingly in the future as an environmentally friendly way to produce power, fuels and chemicals.
