	In the survey for inhabitants of the eco area held 2003, the neighborhood was said to be classy and village-like. People appreciate the proximity of nature and want to protect the neighborhood against excessive construction. The garden plots were very popular among inhabitants. The people living in Eco-Viikki seem to be aware of the environmental issues and they are active: for example the survey for inhabitants was mailed to all households and the response rate was almost 70 per cent!

	It would be interesting to compare the ecological housing area with a normal housing area: Is the area really more ecological than other typical housing areas and the reasons for that? It would be interesting to go on researching for example biodiversity of fauna. How the ecological solutions of gardens work together with the surrounding public parks in practice?

	Viikki is a district in the inner city area of Helsinki, near an extensive area of open farmland and wetland nature reserve of Vanhakaupunginlahti. It is situated 8 km to the Northeast of the centre of Helsinki. Viikki is a neighborhood of about 7 000 inhabitants. The eco neighbourhood blocks are the result of long-term work aimed at putting ecological principles into practice. The master plan is based on a finger-like structure with alternating buildings and green open spaces. There are a lot of people using green areas for recreation: on the nature reserve area they are guided to walk along the paths and routes and there are no visible signs of un-responsible use. Project has involved uses for storm water. The surface water run-off is collected in gardens for residents. The water element is necessary for the biodiversity but it is also a value in landscape. There is no recreational value of the water in Viikki, because the ditch is too small for example for swimming. The master plan is based on a finger-like structure with alternating buildings and green open spaces. Green spaces forms corridors for natural species to move. Ecological objectives have also been realised through projects related to gardens and green spaces: the range of vegetation used is large, there are several layers of vegetation, the variety of plants are selected based on the natural conditions of the place, the idea was to use domestic species as much as possible.
