Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the possibilities and challenges of generating local, place-based welfare knowledge drawing on action research in three localities, found in the rural region of South Savo in eastern Finland. We understand place-based welfare knowledge as a combination of official statistics in health and welfare and experiences and challenges of place-related welfare issues identified by the local actors. The local welfare knowledge is shown to add value to forms of codified knowledge.
