Hallintakysymyksiä

Hallintakysymyksiä is a Finnish term meaning administrative questions or matters that fall within public administration or organizational governance. The word is used to describe issues that require decisions, interpretations, or actions by authorities or officials, rather than by courts or private individuals. Hallintakysymyksiä can concern how a regulation is applied, how an agency should allocate resources, how procedures should be followed, or how rights and duties of individuals interacting with public bodies are defined.

In public administration and governance contexts, hallintakysymyksiä are often resolved through administrative procedures and, if disputed, through administrative review or courts. In business or organizational settings, the term can also refer to governance questions such as delegation of authority, responsibility boundaries, risk management, or compliance with internal and external rules. The term is commonly found in policy discussions, legal texts, and news reporting to describe issues that arise in managing public functions or organizational operations.

The scope of hallintakysymyksiä is generic and context-dependent; it does not denote a single fixed legal category, but a broad class of issues within administration. Related concepts include hallinto-oikeus (administrative law), hallintomenettely (administrative procedure), and hallintopäätös (administrative decision). The term thus serves as a flexible label for various administrative and governance-related questions.
