The impact of innovations on spatial development in the Finnish forest industry
Forest products industries are heavily rawmaterial‑oriented. Transportation of logs and other wood raw materials is the major factor in location of the processing plant. Progress in technology has changed considerably the locational pattern of these plants. While the orientation to the sources of ra...
