“…The current trend was a shrinking number of second homes, due to their conversion into primary residences (see also Müller & Marjavaara, 2012). Persson (2011Persson ( , 2015 and Gallent (2007) discuss how local communities are affected by conflicting legislation and discourse based on the notion that a second home is a differentand more or less implicitly lesserform of dwelling than a primary residence. The converted weekend municipalities conveyed this duality, ruling out differentiation due to the Planning and Building Act (2010) while at the same time restricting building sizes so much that it would be unappealing for second-home owners to begin using their houses as primary residences.…”

Second-home tourism is a popular form of tourism in many countries. Sweden has over 600,000 second homes and more than half of the population have access to such properties. Previous literature on second-home tourism indicates that it impacts local communities and municipalities in many different ways, ranging from public services and land-use planning to the housing market and the local economy. However, it has not been sufficiently investigated how, where and by which spatial patterns these impacts might come into effect. Previous research has mostly been in the form of case studies, making generalizations difficult. This paper examines whether a theorized heterogeneity of second-home landscapes transfers into actual spatial variance in the impacts of second-home tourism. The investigation is done through semi-structured interviews with officials from 20 Swedish municipalities, selected using a theoretical model and comprehensive quantitative data. Results reveal considerable variance between different locations and argues for more context-aware second-home research.

“…Though exact numbers are somewhat uncertain because of statistical definitions, the estimate is about 600,000-650,000 rural properties. Hence, a majority of the population has access to a second home and they can be found all over the country, though those along the coast, on the outskirts of urban areas, and at mountain resorts are particularly numerous and attractive (Marjavaara & Müller, 2007;Müller, 2002Müller, , 2006Persson, 2015).…”

“…Though there has certainly been a reason for the critical assessment of second homes, perspectives have changed, increasingly highlighting their positive aspects as well. Hence, it has been argued and shown that clear distinctions between primary and second homes as well as permanent and temporary inhabitants are increasingly problematic, not least because of a growing mobility blurring borders between categories (Barnett, 2014;Farstad & Rye, 2013;Gallent, 2007;Jennings & Krannich, 2013;Persson, 2015). Ellingsen (2017) even argues that the study of rural development should always include second home mobility, since it is an integrated part of rural demography and economy.…”

Coping with second home tourism: responses and strategies of private and public service providers in western Sweden

Second homes have increasingly gained academic attention, not least within tourism research. Nevertheless, most studies have addressed the topic from the perspective of the second home owners, highlighting issues such as motivation for second home ownership, use patterns, geographical location, and meanings of second homes. Even the impacts of second homes have mainly been addressed as the accumulated outcome of their owners' decisions. Hence, second homes have mainly been conceptualized as personal/family projects. Relatively little research has been done on the ways local communities cope with second home tourism. This is the departure point for this paper, with the purpose of analysing coping strategies among public and private stakeholders regarding second home tourism. It is argued that communities have various ways of coping, ranging from resistance to resource utilization. The proposed conceptual framework is empirically applied to the case of the Swedish West Coast. In an interview survey of public and private service providers, different strategies are identified. The results of the survey indicate that second home owners are increasingly seized on as a resource that can be utilized for business development. Ultimately, institutional preconditions imply that second homes remain a challenge for local municipalities.

“…Czarnecki and Frenkel (2014) highlight the issues associated with second home definition as it affects statistical collection and therefore policy development in the Polish context. Osbaldiston, Picken, and Duffy (2014) examine the issue of future use of land by second home owners and their implications for infrastructure, planning and sustainability, concerns that are also raised in the work of Persson (2014) in Sweden and Rey-Valette, Rulleau, Hennequin, Meur-Férec, and Flanquart (2014) in France. Drawing on a series of Finnish cases Rinne et al (2014) discuss issues of second home owner participation in planning and decision-making, while the final contribution is that of Åkerlund et al (2014) who provide a multi-scale perspective on governance of international second homes in Finland and Malta.…”

“…Concerns over large temporary populations are also reflected in much of the writing on the environmental impacts of second homes (Morris & Dickinson, 1987;Sargent & Berke, 1979), together with potential effects on amenity values (Juvik, Juvik, & Hamilton, 1992;Kondo, Rivera, & Rullman, 2012;Vera Rebollo & Ivars Baidal, 2003). Indeed, there is a growing interest in the environmental dimensions of second homes (Andersen, Christensen, Jensen, Kofoed, & Morthorst, 2008;Goble, Lewis, Hill, & Phillips, 2014;Hao, Long, & Hoggard, 2014;Huhtala & Lankia, 2012;Jeong, García-Moruno, Hernández-Blanco, & Jaraíz-Cabanillas, 2014;Lanza & Randazzo, 2013;Long & Hoogendoorn, 2013), which also has significant planning impact as a result of debates over the split of the costs of infrastructure provision between permanent and non-permanent provision (Grahn-Voorneveld, 2012) and implementation of planning law (Persson, 2014).…”

The topic of second homes has been of major interest in regional, rural and tourism planning and policy since the 1970s. More recently the lens of governance has also begun to be applied as a lens to the topic of mobility, including second homes. This paper provides a review of the literature on second homes, policy and governance and highlights major themes and issues including that of housing policy, sustainability, political representation and the environment. The paper suggests that research in the governance of second homes can help shed further light on problems of understanding and governing mobility and multiple dwellings in contemporary neoliberal globalisation. It highlights that that governance, policy and regulatory structures are much better geared to the stationery and the immobile than they are to the movement of people (and capital) between jurisdictions, as well as to mobile homes themselves.Keywords: mobility; neoliberal rurality; tourism; rural economic development; relationality; sustainability ResumenEl tema de las segundas viviendas ha sido de fundamental interés en la planificación y política regional, rural y turística desde 1970. Más recientemente, las lentes de forma de gobierno han comenzado también a ser aplicada en el tema de la movilidad, incluyendo las segundas viviendas. Este trabajo proporciona una revisión de la literatura sobre las segundas viviendas, la política y forma de gobierno y destaca temas y cuestiones fundamentales incluyendo la política de la vivienda, la sostenibilidad, la representación política y el medioambiente. El trabajo sugiere que la investigación en la forma de gobierno de las segundas viviendas puede ayudar a arrojar más luz a los problemas de compresión y dirección de la movilidad y múltiple residencia en la actual globalización neoliberal. Destaca que la forma de gobierno, la política y las estructuras reguladoras está mucho más orientadas al sedentarismo y la no movilidad que al movimiento de personas (y capital) entre jurisdicciones así como a la propias viviendas rodantes (i.e. caravanas). Leisure & Events, 2015 Vol. 7, No. 1, 1-14, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19407963.2014 régionale. Très récemment, le sujet de la mobilité, y compris celle liée aux résidences secondaires, a été dans le collimateur de la gouvernance. L'objectif de cet article est de passer en revue les recherches faites sur les résidences secondaires, leur viabilité, la représentation politique et l'environnement. Cette étude suggère que la recherche faite sur la gestion des résidences secondaires peut permettre à mieux identifier certains problèmes liés à la compréhension et à la gestion de la mobilité, ainsi que de multiples formes de logements au sein de la globalisation néolibérale contemporaine. Elle souligne que la gouvernance, la politique et les structures de régulation s'orientent plus vers le stationnaire et l'immobilité plutôt que vers la mobilité des personnes (et du capital) entre les juridictions, ainsi que celle des maisons mobiles elles-mêmes.
