“…Second-home tourism and the 'invisible population' of second home tourists can be linked to a diverse range of issues impacting destinations, such as the demand for and supply of local and public services, the conversion of second homes into primary residences or vice versa, retirees living in their second homes, networking and the transfer of ideas between second-home tourists and locals, involvement in local planning processes, etc. (see for example Barnett, 2014;Gallent, 2013;Hall & Mu€ller, 2004a;Marjavaara, 2007Marjavaara, , 2008Paris, 2011;Persson, 2011;Robertsson & Marjavaara, 2014). Here, we demonstrate that there are differences within the category of second homes and that these differences show geographical patterns.…”

“…Urban areas can certainly be expected to show a more substantial increase in assessed property values than rural areas because of greater demand, but it is also presumed that tourism hot-spots and amenityrich areas in the countryside will show a greater increase than surrounding areas. Therefore, increases in assessed property values are used to indicate high attractiveness, whereas stagnation or decreasing values point to low attractiveness (Marjavaara, 2007;Marjavaara & M€ uller, 2007). The years 1997 and 2012 have been chosen in order to get a sufficiently long period for comparison and reasonably recent data.…”

“…The attractiveness axis (converted -purpose-built) is operationalised using a combination of five proxy variables (see Table 1 below). Less attractive areas are assumed to have mainly converted second homes, whereas more attractive areas are dominated by purpose-built second homes (Marjavaara, 2007;Marjavaara & M€ uller, 2007;M€ uller et al, 2004;Persson, 2011). Table 1 lists all six variables along with the minimum, maximum and median values for each variable.…”

“…In order to determine which of the four second-home landscapes each of these 64 areas adhered to, an ideal combination of values was created for each second home landscape (Table 2). These ideal combinations were made based on the assumptions about each landscape in M€ uller et al (2004), but also Jansson and M€ uller (2003); Marjavaara (2007); Marjavaara and M€ uller (2007) and Persson (2011). The ideal combinations for each landscape are elaborated further below.…”

Second-home tourism is a very popular form of tourism in many countries, particularly in the Nordic countries. More than half of the Swedish population have access to second homes. Previous studies have revealed that there is great variation between different second homes. Examples range from rustic Australian shacks, lonely cabins in the Norwegian mountains, spacious Swedish archipelago villas and palatial Russian dachas. Still, second homes are often seen and analysed as a unitary category -a perspective that obscures the considerable heterogeneity within the category as well as spatial differences in the impact of second-home tourism. Using a second-home typology from previous research and data on about 660,000 second homes, we analyse the heterogeneity of second homes by mapping the composition of the Swedish second-home stock. Results show the uneven geography of second-home tourism, revealing significant and sometimes steep differences between peripheral areas and urban hinterlands, tourism hotspots, and areas in decline. Based on these results, we assert that there is good cause to move away from using second homes as a unitary category. Instead, we argue for viewing second homes as an umbrella concept with dwelling use in focus. This enables a greater sensibility to place and more accurate analyses of the uneven impacts of second-home tourism. The results also give greater insights into the impact of the 'invisible population' of second-home owners from a public planning perspective.

“…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.
