Digisaapas

The Improving digital accessibility in recreation services (Digi-SAAPAS) project utilizes a dataset from a previous project “Virkistä Dataa!” that produced a recreation and nature tourism information maintenance tool implemented in the project and the recreation destination information collected with it.

In this project, an easy-to-use mobile user interface for Virma data was produced that covers the entire Southwest Finland and presents recreational destination information to the public. The service is intended for the use of both hikers and municipal residents, as well as for the marketing needs of municipal recreation opportunities.

Information on recreational destinations in Finland proper can be found here.
