Toimenpidekohtaisia

Toimenpidekohtaisia is a Finnish compound adjective used to describe something that is specific to or related to individual measures or actions. The word is derived from toimenpide, meaning “measure” or “action,” and kohtaisesti, meaning “specifically” or “in accordance with.” Together, the term literally translates as “action‑specific” or “measure‑specific.”

In Finnish legal and policy documents, toimenpidekohtaisia terms are employed to designate requirements, regulations, or guidelines that apply only to particular actions rather than to a general category of activities. For example, a government regulation might outline general environmental standards, while also stating “toimenpidekohtaisesti säännöksiä” that dictate what must be done when a specific type of chemical is handled. This allows precision in controlling activities that pose different risks or require distinct safeguards.

The concept appears frequently in public administration, health services, and environmental protection literature. Finnish healthcare regulations distinguish between treatment protocols that are generic and those that are “toimenpidekohtaisia,” meaning they are tied to a specific clinical procedure such as a surgical intervention. Similarly, in municipal planning, zoning laws may separate general land‑use rules from toimenpidekohtaisia guidelines that address particular construction projects.

Because the term emphasizes specificity, it is valuable in contexts where blanket regulations are insufficient and tailored measures are necessary. It facilitates clear communication among professionals, ensuring that each measure is governed by the appropriate set of rules and responsibilities. The usage of toimenpidekohtaisia reflects a broader Finnish approach to governance that balances general principles with case‑by‑case detail.
