integrointitarpeisiin

Integrointitarpeisiin is a Finnish term that refers to the needs arising from or related to integration. It is most commonly used in social policy, education, and organizational planning to describe the conditions and actions required to support integration of people, services, or processes. The word is formed from integrointi (integration) and tarve, with tarpeisiin as the illative plural form, indicating “to the needs” or “for the needs.”

In practice, integrointitarpeisiin may refer to policies or measures intended to meet the needs of those undergoing integration, such as immigrants or students, but can also concern the integration of services and systems within an organization. For example, municipalities may plan to respond to integrointitarpeisiin by providing language courses, social orientation, accessible services, and inter-agency cooperation to ensure coherent support.

In policy documents, the phrase often functions as the object of verbs like vastata (to respond to), huomioida (to take into account), or suunnitella (to plan for) the needs of integration. Related concepts include integraatio, kotouttaminen, and palveluiden integraatio. The term thus serves as a concise way to denote a targeted set of requirements that must be addressed to achieve successful social or organizational integration.
