yhteiskäyttöisten

Yhteiskäyttöisten is a Finnish term that appears as the genitive plural form of the adjective yhteiskäyttöinen, meaning "shared-use" or "co-use." In Finnish, this form is used to describe resources, spaces, or tools that are intended for use by multiple people or groups rather than by a single owner. The phrase is common in planning, policy, and design contexts where access and distribution of resources are addressed.

Grammatically, yhteiskäyttöinen is an adjectival compound formed from yhteis- (common) and käyttö (use). Its genitive plural form, yhteiskäyttöisten, accompanies a plural noun in genitive to express ownership or association, as in yhteiskäyttöisten tilojen suunnittelu (the design of shared-use spaces) or yhteiskäyttöisten työkalujen hallinta (the management of shared-use tools). The construction does not imply a separate legal category by itself but functions as a descriptive qualifier within sentences.

Context and usage vary by field. In urban planning and public policy, yhteiskäyttöisten tilojen kehittäminen refers to the development of facilities intended for communal use, such as libraries, coworking spaces, or municipal workshops. In corporate or organizational settings, it can describe shared equipment, software licenses, or transport programs (for example, car- or bike-sharing schemes) designed to maximize resource efficiency and equitable access. Overall, the term signals a shift from exclusive ownership to collaborative, access-oriented arrangements.
