Social geographer Riina mastered the land register

I studied social geography and just received my master’s degree.

My internship in Building Site Services involves various tasks related to maintaining the land register. For example, I make sure that the register is up to date when plots are parcelled out. Development activities are also an important part of my internship. The aim is to make the system more effective. I have explored different solutions by contacting software companies and other municipalities. I have also prepared development proposals that we discuss together with the team.

I have learned a lot about the land register, which I was not familiar with before my internship. It has been very rewarding. I now have a good grasp of an entirely new subject area and related concepts. I don’t usually set high expectations beforehand, but I have been positively surprised by the relaxed atmosphere and wonderful co-workers here.

My co-workers are definitely the best part. My tasks, especially those related to the land register, have been very rewarding. My induction process was very good, and I feel that they really paid attention to me. This kind of support is very important to an intern.

It could be called Aamuauringonpolku (Morning Sun Path), and it would be located somewhere near the Laajalahti nature reserve. I often cycled through that area to work in Otaniemi and admired the nature and sunny summer mornings. It was a great way to start a new day.
