Abstract

ABSTRACT Young people have rarely been studied in the field of second-home research as active subjects, although they play an influential part in contemporary second-home tourism. Based on semi-structured interviews, this study seeks to address the scholarly gap in the existing literature by analysing the experiences of, and attitudes towards, second-home living among 12- to 17-year-old second-home dwellers vacationing in Mäntyharju, Finland. The study focuses on the second-home environment as a hybrid space enabling young cottagers to combine elements of a traditionalist lifestyle, outdoor recreation, and late modern technoscape in pursuit of pleasurable and restorative leisure. The findings suggest that young second-home dwellers see outdoor activities and rich natural surroundings, as well as intense familial communality and selected aspects of simple living, as the basis of an enjoyable second-home experience. At the same time, they complement these elements with the active use of mobile and entertainment technology, seeking a satisfying balance between the exotic and the ordinary. The results show that studying young second-home dwellers offers fresh new perspectives not only on second-home tourism and its ongoing changes but also on the leisure preferences of late modern youth in general.

在传统生活方式和后现代休闲之间:年轻的第二家园居民对芬兰小屋文化的看法
虽然年轻人在当代第二家园旅游中扮演着重要的角色,但他们在第二家园研究领域很少被作为活跃的研究对象进行研究。基于半结构化访谈,本研究试图通过分析在芬兰Mäntyharju度假的12至17岁的第二家园居民的第二家园生活经历和态度,来解决现有文献中的学术差距。该研究的重点是作为一个混合空间的第二家园环境,使年轻的农舍结合传统生活方式、户外娱乐和现代科技景观的元素,追求愉悦和恢复性的休闲。研究结果表明,年轻的第二家园居民将户外活动、丰富的自然环境、强烈的家庭社区和简单生活的精选方面视为愉快第二家园体验的基础。与此同时,他们通过积极使用移动和娱乐技术来补充这些元素,在异国情调和普通之间寻求令人满意的平衡。研究结果表明,对年轻第二家园居民的研究不仅为第二家园旅游及其持续变化提供了新的视角,而且为现代晚期青年的总体休闲偏好提供了新的视角。

期刊介绍: Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism is the leading Nordic journal for hospitality and tourism research. SJHT aims at initiating and stimulating high-impact and innovative research relevant for academics and practitioners within the hospitality and tourism industries. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach including, but not limited to geography, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics. SJHT encourages research based on a variety of methods, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The journal covers all types of articles relevant to the Nordic region, as well as the North Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic regions. We also welcome reviews and conceptual articles with a broader geographical scope that clearly enhance the theoretical development of the hospitality and tourism field. In addition to research articles, we welcome research notes and book reviews. Published articles are the result of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editors for their specialist knowledge.
