GUIDE
From knowledge to action
The guide is structured around four themes that in different ways affect the development of holiday homes and recreational areas. Choose the theme that is relevant to you, or explore several to see how different considerations are interconnected.
What do you want to explore?
Land use
How can we use the areas more consciously and at the same time reduce the pressure on nature?

Resource usage
How can we get more out of the buildings and resources that already exist?
Explore how existing holiday homes, buildings, materials and infrastructure can be used better and longer. Here you will find examples and concrete advice on increased use, sharing, redevelopment, densification and management - with the aim of reducing the need for new resources and new interventions.
Site development
How can holiday homes and tourism contribute to strengthening the place they are a part of?
Explore how development can be based on local needs, qualities and resources – and contribute to vibrant local communities, local value creation and attractive places. Here you will find examples and tools for working with, among other things, place identity, collaboration, meeting places and local values.
