ReCabin
This page has been developed by SOURCE - a project in collaboration between Mittuniversitetet and Klyv Innovation. The project is supported by: Interreg Sweden Norway, Region Jämtland Härjedalen & Tröndelag County Municipality
ReCabin is a digital knowledge resource for those working with the development of holiday homes and recreational areas. Here you will find knowledge, practical advice and examples that can contribute to better choices – from planning and development to use and management.
The goal is to inspire solutions that better take care of nature and resources, as well as create value for people and local communities.
From knowledge to action
THE GUARDIAN
The guide brings together knowledge, examples and practical advice for those of you working with the development or construction of holiday homes. It is designed especially for small and medium-sized businesses and municipalities, and is intended to make it easier to make good choices – from early planning to implementation.
The guide is structured around four themes: Land use , nature-based solutions , resource use and place development . Here you can explore what is relevant to your work, find inspiration and get concrete advice that you can take forward.
Theory meets practice
PILOTS
In collaboration with businesses, municipalities and other local stakeholders, we have explored specific issues through a number of pilots. Here we investigate how knowledge and new solutions can be used in the development of holiday homes and recreational areas.
The pilots showcase different approaches, experiences and learning points from real places and processes. Explore the pilots and find experiences and ideas that may be relevant to your own work.
Insights from science and practice
WATCH AND LEARN
Here we have collected our own films that convey knowledge, experiences and new perspectives on the development of holiday homes and recreational areas. Meet researchers, professionals and actors who share knowledge and experiences from disciplines and practice – and find inspiration for your own work.
Has our cabin dream become nature's nightmare?
Author Marit Beate Kasin discusses the “paradox of nature” - how our desire for development displaces biodiversity and leads to nature loss.
Energy-efficient buildings with natural insulation
