SeutuRuutu

SeutuRuutu provides detailed geospatial data about the Helsinki region. It offers municipal employees in the metropolitan area the opportunity to utilize data from the regional basic register (SePe) alongside various background maps and other map layers.

SeutuRuutu, a browser-based map service, allows users to search SePe data using different criteria and view the results as map layers. The data includes up-to-date information on properties, buildings, apartments, and city plans from municipalities in the Helsinki metropolitan region. For HSY’s waste management operations, registry data from Kirkkonummi is also available. Population data at the building level (from DVV) is updated four times a year, and enterprise and establishment data (from Statistics Finland) is updated once a year.

In addition to SePe-based datasets, SeutuRuutu includes a wide range of map layers related to environment, transportation, services, and administrative divisions. HSY employees also have access to datasets supporting waste and water management tasks.

SeutuRuutu includes the SeutuData download service, which allows users to download geospatial datasets from the SeutuData collection to use in their own GIS applications. More information is available at https://hsy.fi/seutudata.

Due to the precise nature of the registry and geospatial data, using SeutuRuutu requires applying for user licence. There are different levels of access, and the available datasets and functionalities depend on the granted permissions. Learn more about licences and how to apply.

With a licence, you can use the stormwater profile in SeutuRuutu, which includes essential geospatial datasets to support stormwater planning in the Helsinki region. These datasets are produced and maintained by HSY, regional municipalities, and third-party organizations. More information is available in the publication SeutuRuutu hulevesisuunnittelun tukena (In Finnish).
