“…These two trends, together, raise the demand for local services, especially health and recreation services (Jauhiainen 2009;Müller & Marjavaara 2012;Osbaldiston et al 2015). Considering the Asta Kietäväinen, Janne Rinne, Riikka Paloniemi & Seija Tuulentie population structure and the long distances between villages, the major challenge for municipalities is to provide services, whether they are public or private.…”

“…The same phenomenon has been observed in other countries. Second home owners are also valued for their diverse know-how and contacts that are beneficial in developing rural areas (Müller 2006;Nylander & Leppänen 2006;Marjavaara 2007;Müller & Marjavaara 2012;Nordin & Marjavaara 2012;de Nazaré Oliveira Roca et al 2014;Rinne et al 2014;Robertsson & Marjavaara 2015). Yet the scope and content of economic impacts vary between countries and between regions within each country (Rye 2011;Barnett 2014).…”

(2016). Participation of second home owners and permanent residents in local decision making: the case of a rural village in Finland. Fennia 194: 2, 152-167. ISSN 1798-5617. In Finland, there are almost 500,000 second homes and in some areas the number of second home owners exceeds that of permanent residents. Currently, second home owners are also spending more time in their second homes. If second home owners are not permanent residents, administration may exclude them from local institutions, and treat second home owners as only partial members of the community. It has been stated that municipal decision making and the role of the municipality as an actor in the local community should be broadened in order to strengthen democracy and the participation of its residents as a core of municipal self-administration. Hence, participating in communal decision making is mainly possible only for permanent residents. The issue is whether it is possible to change this situation via the municipalities' own reforms and state regulations. New municipal administration experiments have recently emerged in Finland. Here we study how the new local administrative model, the Communal District Committee, has affected local participation and local governance in a rural areas by exploring second home owners' opportunities to participate in local decision making and development processes. The data consists of documents, focus group discussions and a questionnaire. We used qualitative and quantitative methods in the data analysis. We found, on one hand, that permanent residents of villages recognise second home owners' hesitation to participate in local issues requiring planning and decision making. On the other hand, local-level communal decision making does not promote the participation of second home residents. On the basis of the findings of the study, we suggest that the municipal authorities should recognise the existence and importance of second home owners in the area, acknowledge them better in municipal plans and strategies, and offer them more resources and means to participate.

“…The expansion of the second-home market also has occurred in other European countries, such as France, Switzerland, Italy and Sweden (Sonderegger, 2013), among others. Most of them have become primary residences (Müller, 2012) because of proximity to urban areas and migration to areas with high quality landscape (Bender, 2012). …”

Abstract:The study compares the on-going naturbanization processes in and around two Natural Parks under the impact of newcomers, but also tourists from Barcelona and Bucharest and their metropolitan areas. The landscape value of these areas attracts the urban population, which contributes to local sustainable development process but also promotes construction. New businesses associated with rural multifunctionality and value-added activities related to environmental quality were identified. New residents have contributed introducing responsible patterns of consumer, ecoentrepreneurship by women, recovery of abandoned buildings and intensification of rural-urban relationships. Negative impacts such as intensive construction of second homes, with a lower use, in some areas around Cadí-Moixeró threaten biodiversity and habitat connectivity. Insufficient integration of environmental policies, particularly in the Comana wetlands, reduces the potential for rural renewal. Research methods included a review of the counterurbanization literature and the statistical data related to processes of naturbanization in both areas, along with the conduct of 30 structured interviews with key local actors in each area. Naturbanization still offers the potential to enhance local development; however, it is urgent to assess social perspectives in natural parks management in order to achieve environmentally friendly built-up areas.Key words: Built-up areas, Cadí-Moixeró NP, Comana NP, Naturbanization, Quality landscape, Barcelona, Bucharest.Abstract: Naturbanizarea poate promova zone rezidențiale compatibile cu mediul înconjurător? O comparație între parcurile naturale Cadí-Moixeró (Catalonia, Spain) și Comana (Romania). Acest studiu compară procesul de naturbanizare în două parcuri naturale sub impactul noilor veniți dar și a turiștilor din Barcelona și București și zonele metropolitane ale acestora. Peisajul acestor zone atrage populația urbană, care contribuie la dezvoltarea locală sustenabilă dar și la apariția de noi construcții. Noile activități economice sunt asociate cu multifuncționalitatea rurală și cu valoarea adăugată relaționată cu calitatea mediului. Noii rezidenți au contribuit prin introducerea unor modele de consum responsabil, integrarea femeilor antreprenor, reconversia clădirilor abandonate și intensificarea relațiilor urban-rural. Efectele negative precum construcția reședințelor secundare (multe dintre acestea vacante) în anumite zone din jurul parcului natural Cadí-Moixeró, amenință biodiversitatea și conectivitatea habitatelor. Insuficienta integrare a politicilor de mediu, mai ales în parcul natural Comana, reduc potențialul reînnoirii rurale printr-o abordare integrată. Metodele de cercetare includ o prezentare a literaturii referitoare la procesul de contraurbanizare și a datelor statistice relaționate procesului de naturbanizare în ambele arii, împreună cu rezultatele a 30 de interviuri structurate aplicate în fiecare zonă unor actori cheie. Naturbanizarea prezintă potențial pentru a stimula dezvoltarea l...

“…Many of the areas with high concentrations of second homes also become retirement centres over time as second homes become a place of more frequent dwelling. Unfortunately, studies of the extent to which second home purchases act as a precursor to permanent relocation and migration are relatively limited (Müller & Marjavaara, 2012). Although it must of course be emphasised that given increased spatial mobility as a result of changed work and leisure practices for many people the notion of a single home is now substantially out of date.…”

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.
