“…At the turn of the millennium, the well-established population groups, notably the elderly in Europe and the US, returned to smaller settlements, prompting discourse pertaining to a new polarization reversal or rural gentrification (Ghose, 2004;Phillips, 2004). This trend has been quite widespread in the Nordic (Adamiak et al, 2015;Müller & Marjavaara, 2012;Müller et al, 2020;Pers et al, 2018;Pitkänen et al, 2014) and also Central and Eastern European countries (Zwęgli nska-Gałecka, 2021). However, the rural revival has been overshadowed by immigration-based urban growth and deserted peripheral regions on the edges of Europe.…”

This article reviews the socioeconomic factors that have shaped Estonia's regional population development during the last 30 years. In the 1990s, primary and secondary industries declined and massive urbanization started, depopulating rural and old industrial areas while suburban sprawl developed around the capital Tallinn. Urban growth accelerated in the 2000s, and the 2008 global financial crisis prompted migration from the peripheries. Since 2015, Estonia's population has been growing thanks to returning emigrants and new immigrants. Recent years have witnessed the spread effect and spatial oscillation boosted by COVID‐19 and the Ukrainian war. Additionally, a growing number of people live temporarily in multiple places, including remote rural localities.

Second homes are much valued as recreational resources and also as important commodities on the property market. This study examines the trading patterns and regional price development of Danish second homes from 1992 to 2020. Second home sales volumes and prices reflect the general economic booms and busts and also the possibilities to rent out the property on sharing platforms. However, across regional clusters and over time, property price developments suggest a significant social rigidity in preferences and prospects. The investment and financialization logics and the underlying guiding conspicuous consumption behavior has not changed as an effect of the increased demand during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. When controlling for factors such as house and land plot size, building year, location attractiveness the strong social class and spatial rigidity is reproduced in the data. The shifting of wealth accumulated in the second homes between generations supports the same tendency, and taxation does not rebalance regional effects. Accordingly, only to a limited extent does owning a second home contribute to social equality, even if some second-home owners and policy makers tend to think otherwise. Economic measures in planning and governance portfolios are found to be negligible.

‘Oh my god what is happening?’: historic second home communities and post-disaster nostalgia

Nostalgia is an important concept in the study of heritage tourism, especially as a push factor, but less attention is devoted to how nostalgia influences place attachment and vice versa, especially in relation to both individual and collective community experiences. While place attachment has been discussed in the context of second homes, nostalgia has received little attention, with none directed specifically at historic second home communities or those which had recently experienced a disaster. Therefore, this paper presents an analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted among second homeowners in Ocean Beach, New York, which is a century-old second home community with a rich local heritage that was hit by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The findings show that the respondents display different aspects of nostalgia, in particular endo-and meso-nostalgia. This work conceptualizes meso-nostalgia as an umbrella term for the previously discussed nostalgias which focus on the gray area between personal and collective memories. The findings also show the respondents' deep connection to the second home landscape, but there was a marked difference between respondents with inherited second homes and those who had purchased them wherein inherited homeowners' nostalgia was closer to those of permanent residents in previous studies.
