“…Contradictory to these statements, it is argued that for many, the time spent in the second home is richer in social life and contact with neighbours than in the area of their permanent home (Jarlöv, 1999). In north-western Wisconsin, it is reported that second-home owners are involved in the community and have developed wide social networks in the region and strong ties to their host community (Clendenning & Field, 2006). Similar to this, Flognfeldt (2002) described second-home owners in the Norwegian mountain areas as local patriots, proud of the destination and willing to contribute to local development, a view also supported by Nordbø (2008).…”

Much of the debate regarding how firms and places can stay competitive in a globalized economy is focused on innovative capabilities. Issues of knowledge creation, innovation and knowledge transfer within and between individuals and firms is a central field of research. Here, the local buzz is frequently mentioned as highly important for sustaining the innovation and knowledge-creation process among firms. Previous research has mainly focused on the effects of a local buzz situated at the place where the firm is located. In this article, we argue that there is a geographically displaced buzz that occurs on a temporary basis during leisure time, characterized by a heterogeneous composition of individuals. This can potentially boost the innovative capability of single firms and the destinations where it occurs. We term this the seasonal buzz. This paper discusses, empirically tests and analyses a possible seasonal buzz, based on a questionnaire survey targeting second-home owners at a ski resort in Sweden. Results support the assertion that there is a seasonal buzz, that new networks are created, and that the information exchanged is important for individuals in their professional life as well.

“…Perspectives about the desirability of this shift are likely to vary greatly depending upon one's investments and interests relative to domestic property (Davis 1991), position in the class system (Bell 1994), and status as a new, long-time, or temporary resident (Clendenning and Field 2005).…”

Seeing, not Participating: Viewscape Fetishism in American and Norwegian Rural Amenity Areas

Based on participant-driven photo elicitation and in-depth key informant interviews conducted in an American and Norwegian rural amenity area, this article argues that newcomers, seasonal home owners and other stakeholders in rural amenity areas may fail to appreciate, or choose to ignore, the social relations tied to their property or the consequences that their seemingly innocuous decisions can have for local communities. Viewscape fetishism can cause the "magic" of commodified natural amenities to obscure more complex, holistic understandings of the land in favor of a simplified view based on individualized use or exchange value, both of which are highly influence by the sign value inherent in property situated with access to scenic viewscapes. This phenomenon can create barriers to social interaction and community building, and lead to environmental degradation in places that are rich in natural amenities and vulnerable to change.

“…While several second home researchers have focused on second home owners' attachment to a given place or host community (Kaltenborn 1997a;1997b;Aronsson 2004;Clendenning & Field 2005;Stedman 2006a;2006b;2007;Flemsaeter 2009), second home owners' pursuit of rights and influence in host communities has just briefly been mentioned as a relevant aspect of the second home phenomenon (e.g. by Halseth 1998;Mü ller 2002b;Kaltenborn et al 2009).…”
