“…The Nordics are well-known for their nature and natural values which has led to widespread rural tourism [38][39][40][41][42]. In Nordic countries most of the main tourism attractions are located in rural areas [39,43].…”

“…It is very common in the Nordic countries to own a cottage or a "second home" located in a rural area [45][46][47]. It has been estimated that nearly half of the Nordic population have access to a second home, and the number of second homes in the Nordics has increased in the recent years [40]. Recent trend has been that people spend even more time in their second homes, and year-round usage is increasing [47,48].…”

Sharing economy and shared mobility has become a widespread trend in urban areas worldwide. Due to lower population density, car sharing, and other shared mobility applications are generally not accessible in rural areas. This paper utilizes a Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) method to assess the criteria importance in siting problem of rural electric vehicle (EV) sharing systems. Nordic rural areas are used as a case study in this analysis, and we compare their feasibility to act as a pilot location for EV sharing. Seasonal residence, rural tourism and counterurbanization are common themes in Nordic rural areas and act as enablers for rural vehicle sharing. Based on our novel application of SMAA to this context, we found that Swedish rural areas would be most suitable for a rural EV sharing pilot. High tourism and low vehicle ownership were identified to be the most important criteria for this siting problem.

“…However, second-home owners do not have clear channels for participating in local communities (Rinne et al, 2015). Instead, they are often perceived as challenges for local planning (Slätmo et al, 2019).…”

20 years of Nordic second-home tourism research: a review and future research agenda

Second-home tourism is a prominent feature of Nordic tourism. This article reviews Nordic research on second-home tourism since 2000 and relates it to international trends within this field. Furthermore, it provides a short outline of future research needs and opportunities. The review indicates that Nordic second-home tourism research has been highly productive and influential. After being dominated by national overviews, research has more recently addressed issues such as environmental impacts, community tensions and displacement, internationalization, and planning. Indeed, with this, Nordic researchers have gained core positions in the international ecosystem of second-home research, and particularly Umeå University has developed into the epicenter of second-home research. Although the situation for Nordic second-home research has been strong, generational shifts imply a risk of discontinuation. However, a more nuanced view on the secondhome phenomenon detects the varieties of second-home tourism and the multiple interconnections to other fields of research. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, second-home research can become a forerunner in understanding households' new spatial-temporal arrangements, combining various homes and places.

“…In the Nordic region, some evidence exists that people in densely populated areas with low or no access to private gardens compensate for this by the increased taking of second homes (Strandell and Hall, 2015). The second home phenomenon is also widespread in the Nordic region (see Slätmo et al, 2019), and could, therefore, easily serve as 'compensation' for a large proportion of the Nordic population. For spatial planning in urban areas, this form of 'compensation' is one of the core challenges for dense or compact city planning.…”
