Sihtkohtadena

Sihtkohtadena is a fictional archipelago created for instructional use in travel geography, digital cartography, and related disciplines. The name blends a sense of destination with a plural landform, reflecting its role as a grouped set of islands rather than a single locale.

Located in a temperate maritime zone, Sihtkohtadena comprises twelve inhabited islands and several uninhabited islets, totaling about 320 square kilometers. The terrain ranges from forested hills to rocky coastlines, with sheltered bays and a central shallow lagoon. The capital and largest island is Lumea, which hosts the administrative center and the main ferry port.

In the fictional chronology, settlement begins in the early medieval period, followed by the establishment of a municipal council in the 18th century. The archipelago is divided into five districts, and local government handles planning, environmental protection, and cultural affairs. The Sihtkohtadena Council convenes on Lumea and coordinates inter-island services and development.

The economy centers on tourism, small-scale fishing, and traditional crafts. The population is described as culturally diverse, with local traditions such as coastal markets and midsummer celebrations contributing to community life. Public life emphasizes sustainable tourism and preservation of coastal habitats, while education and cultural programming aim to reflect the archipelago’s maritime heritage.

Notable sites include the Blue Lighthouse on Lumea’s western coast, the Old Stone Market in the historic town center, and North Ridge National Park on Kaari Island. Inter-island ferries and a small airfield on Lumea connect the inhabited isles.
