The purpose of this study is to investigate policies regarding second home planning in the Swedish municipalities. To do so content analysis was conducted on the regulation document called översiktsplan (translated into English layout plan, land-use plan or sketch plan) of all 290 Swedish municipalities. The ´översiktsplan´ is a document containing directions, policies, guidelines and recommendations for land use in the municipality. Swedish law dictates that all municipalities must have such a document.   This study addresses the phenomenon second homes and second home tourism in the perspective of the destination, in this study represented by the Swedish municipalities regulation document called översiktsplan. Previous research has been taken into account, both concerning Sweden, the Nordic countries and countries in different parts of the world, to describe the phenomenon. The study aims to describe municipality´s characteristics and to analyse the geographical placement of the municipality. This is done by plotting a map over Sweden with the municipalities classified depending on their degree of policies regarding second homes. Then, a comparison with the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions classification of Swedish municipalities 2017 was made to analyse the characteristics of municipalities having policies for second homes.   Of the 290 (100 %) Swedish municipalities there are 217 (74,8 %) that have made policies and preparations regarding second homes and these directions are shown in the översiktsplan. The result shows a clear pattern within the Swedish municipalities regarding directions, policies, guidelines and recommendations concerning second homes. Municipalities containing a minor urban area that accommodate less than 40 000 inhabitants and geographically placed nearby an urban area containing more than 40 000 inhabitants, nearby a ski resort or by the shoreline do have a higher preparation and planning regarding second homes.

China has achieved extraordinary economic growth since its profound social, political and economic reformation in 1978. Housing and tourism are two manifestations of such growth. However, problems related to the development of housing and tourism have become increasingly severe: environmentally sound rural areas are now the battlefield for the ostensible economic advancement of both sectors; the supposedly beneficial local communities in such areas end up as the sufferers of worsened living conditions; the policymakers, who are self-claimed leaders of the development in benefits of the local communities, are de facto heavily dependent upon the sales of land for tax generation. Under such circumstances, second homes - the intersection between tourism and housing - have emerged as a hot topic for industry participants, researchers and policymakers. The existing body of knowledge, in what is largely Western dominated second homes research, suggests that the key theories, assumptions and conclusions cannot be adapted to explain the development model in China. This is because of China’s unique scale, patterns, and dynamics of economic and socio-political linkages. This research therefore theorises second homes in China based on key space and tourism concepts. This thesis conceptualises second homes on an actual site in China named The Aqua, which is a tourism cluster intentionally constructed around the idea of second homes. The thesis examines the actor groups that are involved in the making of The Aqua, as well as their practice, representation and experience with it. Also, in order to uncover the potential impacts of the Aqua, this research investigates how justice is recognised and practiced between different actor groups. The outcomes of this research include: 1) a new model that visualises the power relations between different actor groups that are involved in the making of the Aqua, 2) a new theory building on Foucault’s heterotopia to help explain why the Aqua was produced as the representation of the imagined Western township, 3) new terms of apotopia and limbotopia as dismissive narratives to unwanted circumstances of tourism place-making, 4) a fresh perspective to examine the potential impacts of second homes through the lens of justice, instead of the traditional dualistic thinking of second homes as the curse or the blessing.

This research examines the sustainability and participatory objectives of the UK’s planning system in a geographical context. It aims to explore the relationships between communities and place, and the connections between national government, local governments and communities in planning processes and outcomes. It also considers the role of planning in shaping places and communities, and how planning endeavours to include communities in decision-making through encouraging participation in community activities. This thesis argues that there is a gap between planning policy and rhetoric and the implementation of policy within specific community contexts. The research is a piece of collaborative research conducted with the planning department at North Devon Council (NDC). Through developing an original empirical case study of data from parishes within North Devon, planning’s sustainability and participatory agendas are examined through the framework of second homes considered a distinct yet related form of tourism (Jaakson, 1986). The research unpicks popular understandings of second homes through quantitative and qualitative research and argues that there are nuanced existences and experiences of second home properties, compounding the difficulty of defining these properties that produce both non-permanent residents and semi- permanent tourists. Exploration of the socio-economic contributions of second homes within host communities suggests that second homes have potential to contribute unsustainable traits, particularly social impacts, to host communities while also having potential to bring positive, predominantly economic, contributions. The empirical research demonstrates that notions of community from resident and policy maker perspectives illustrate that place is not necessary to understanding or experiencing community but has a key role in framing both policy and North Devon residents’ perceptions of community. Through examining the most recent round of democratic renewal in the planning system, issues of power and responsibility within planning functions are reviewed. It argues that the Conservative – Liberal Democrat Coalition neighbourhood planning obligations reveal a dichotomy between community desire for power and the realism of heightened responsibility.

This thesis, based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the US, Russia, France and Australia, focuses on technology use in second homes and its implications for technology design. I highlight the unexpectedly strong sense of nostalgia, for place as well as for richer relationships, felt in second homes around the world, and the ways in which second home residents use technology to shape space and behavior to reinforce this link to an imagined past. I show that the transition between main and second homes, with its rituals of preparation and transition between physical locations, allows residents to assume different identities in the two locations. These identities are based on location rather than role, and their second home identities allow them to showcase a part of themselves which does not flourish in the city. Lastly, I articulate the ways in which technology's logic is shaped by work environments, and how this logic does not always mesh well with the "messiness" of home lives. I further show that the choices of technology placement and acceptance in the home are a function of both how a technology is perceived (as aligned with work or leisure, for example) and of the behaviors residents value in the home, and an anthropologically informed understanding of these behaviors can, and should, influence product design choices.

The purpose of this study is to highlight the second home sector in Sweden and Denmark, in a comparative study of regulations for the second home market, and residence requirement. Two attractive second home island destinations is being compared in Ven, Landskrona and Gudhjem, Bornholm. The study addresses issues such as the local effects of a regulation of the second home market get at a local level, and the effects generated by deregulation, as well as local people's opinions about second home regulation in a popular second home area in southern Sweden.  This has been examined using a mix between qualitative method and quantitative methods, and the study is based on six semi-structured interviews from informants from Ven, Bornholm, and Gudhjem which has been analyzed throughout a thematic analysis. In addition to the interviews, diagrams from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Sweden and Statistics Denmark, and various real estate websites, and a field observation from Ven and Gudhjem will be presented. The result shows that show that the discussion on residence requirement has been going on for a long time in Sweden and Ven, but the local organizations found more disadvantages than advantages and are now looking in to other solutions, while other locals believes that there are more advantages with a residence requirement. In Denmark it’s revealed that there is recently started discussion between municipal decision-makers and local organizations about the regulations, and if it should be abolished or not. It turns out that the directions of the local effects being positive or negative depends a lot on the resort's contemporary expertise in local organizations, the population basis and to what extent the resort attracts people to stay there permanently for a living. The results also implies that some regulations in Denmark will not be deregulated, while it is still an active political discussion in Denmark.

No Brasil, os estudiosos conceituam residência secundária como imóveis particulares usufruídos por pessoas que possuem residência permanente em outro lugar. Este conceito se aplica em parte a realidade de Angra de dos Reis, pois apresenta lacunas quanto aos aspectos relevantes que envolvem a residência secundária, tais como: distribuição, características, função, planejamento urbano e impactos sociais. Nesta pesquisa, considerou-se especificamente, o que torna a residência secundária uma problemática passível de reflexão para o lazer do morador local, ou seja, as residências secundárias que seguem o modelo das gated communities. Trata-se de residências fechadas, cerceadas por muros, com sistemas de segurança que controlam entradas e saídas, com infraestrutura de lazer e comércio exclusivas. Inaugurada-nos E.U.A no início da década de 1980, este tipo de tipo de residência secundária, se iguala as inúmeras existentes em Angra dos Reis, ocupando em sua maioria, áreas de praias, cachoeiras e matas da região. Um elemento fundamental da residência secundária que interfere no lazer da população local é a exclusividade dos espaços naturais, vendida pelo mercado imobiliário. Com base nestes pressupostos, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as relações sociais estabelecidas entre moradores locais e residentes secundários considerando um interesse em comum nestes grupos de padrões socioeconômicos diferenciados: a fruição do lazer em espaços naturais. Por meio da etnografia, realizaram-se observações e entrevistas com moradores locais, residentes secundários e dirigentes de instituições públicas e privadas, que servirão como fontes primárias dos dados. Utilizaram-se também documentos de instituições e fotos do bairro Frade como fontes secundárias dos dados. Esta sistemática para obtenção dos dados ocorreu em quatro etapas (totalizando 8 meses). A escolha do bairro localizado no 2° Distrito da região, seguiu o modelo de seleção denominado de "escolha intencional". Embora, esse critério seja propenso a críticas de cunho ético, a experiência com o campo confirmou a possibilidade de lidar com os dilemas surgidos das interações entre pesquisador-pesquisados. A realidade do lazer no Frade, revelou a gênese e o funcionamento de uma rede de relações, sustentadas não somente por moradores locais e residentes secundários, mas também, por dirigentes de condomínios, instituições públicas (Municipais e Estaduais) e ONG's ambientais. Centrada na troca de favores, tal rede vem contribuindo para manter os espaços naturais sob o controle do negócio da residência secundária. Práticas de lazer, como a pesca artesanal, a pesca oceânica e o golfe, compartilhadas entre os moradores locais e os residentes secundários, mostraram-se objetos de trocas materiais e simbólicas imprescindíveis favorecendo a criação de regras, negociações e estratégias para inserir ou excluir grupos da rede de relações sociais do lazer de Angra dos Reis. Os conceitos teóricos que contribuíram para a compreensão do funcionamento desta rede foram: "residência secundária" "capital social", "gated community" (comunidades de condomínios fechados desmembrado em comunidades de lazer, de prestígio e de segurança), "locality" (localidade), "relações de simbiose e oposição". Os conceitos empíricos emergidos no campo foram: "inibição", "coibição", "constrangimento" e "mundo dos contatos" / Abstract: This Doctoral research was conducted in the Brazilian city of Angra dos Reis, located in Rio de Janeiro state, and it investigated the issue of leisure among its inhabitants as associated with the growth of the second home business. The concept of the second home is considered problematic because it covers many variables, such as the distribution, the characteristics, the function, the planning aspects and the social impacts. In current studies Brazilian researchers have been working within the definition of a 'second home' as a residence with a minimum length of occupancy and proof of the possession of two residences. In the case of Angra dos Reis, this concept was not adequate to understand the impacts of this business on the leisure of the inhabitants. The main reason rests on a particular type of second home established in Angra dos Reis called 'gated communities', a type of residence that conjures images of "a residential area with restricted access [¿] with walls or fences, and controlled entrances that are intended to prevent penetration by non-residents. Mainly, these types of second home have been constructed around desirable natural amenities (beaches, waterfalls and forests) in Angra dos Reis, and have been sold on the basis of the exclusive natural spaces guaranteed by the second home market. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between local residents and second homeowners. Using the ethnographic method, the researcher conducted opportunistic sampling in a specific neighborhood called Frade. The study revealed the genesis and the function of the social networks of locals and second homeowners, but also those of the council and state office representatives, the administrative body of the gated communities and NGOs. The framework theory used in this research drew on the concepts of: 'second homes'; social capital; gated communities; locality; symbiotic and opposite relationships. Consequently, leisure practices such as fishing and golf, shared by local residents and second home owners, showed themselves to be a potential object of material and symbolic exchange through which to establish rules, negotiations and strategies to include or exclude groups of the leisure network / Doutorado / Educação Fisica e Sociedade / Doutora em Educação Física

The purpose of this study is to examine the second-home owners of three peripheral parts of Gotland; Fårö, Östergarnslandet and Storsudret. Who they are, what consequences their presence give the local society and if they have contributed to a process of gentrification. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods have been used to answer the research questions. There have been five semi-structured interviews and the quantitative research was a sample- study intended to show the age, income, and primary residence of the second-home owners. The results showed that the second-home tourism of peripheral Gotland has led to a set of consequences; the creation of a seasonal society, a decrease in local taxes and loss of municipal services. There is however uncertainty that the houses would be inhabited by year-round residents if the second-home owners were not living there. The second-home owners are elderly people, many in retirement age. They have high incomes and most of them have their primary residence in metropolitan Stockholm. Many of them are willing to help with local projects and use their knowledge from their professions and are seen as a resource by the interviewees. There are indications that gentrification have indeed happened in the areas when looking at income-levels, but more research variables need studying, such as levels of education and housing prices.
