Müller fil. kand. German Second Home Owners in the Swedish Countryside On the Internationalizaion of the Leisure Space Dieter K. Müller, Department of Social and Economic Geography, Umeå University, Sweden Abstract: Between 1991 and 1996 the number of German second home owners in Sweden increased from about 1,500 to more than 5,500. The purpose of this thesis is to give a comprehensive description and analysis of the German cottage purchases in Sweden, 1991-96. In detail, the motives of the cottage buyers, the circumstances, the geographical patterns of cottage ownership, its diffusion, the integration of the cottage owners, and their expenses in the receiving areas are investigated. The analysis is based on two main sources; (a) an unique database UMCOBASE covering all second homes in Sweden; (b) a survey among 91 German second home owners. Second home ownership is considered as touriste product and as semi-permanent migration to the countryside. These perspectives have in common the importance of the role of the positive image of the countryside. Differences in property prices and climate may also attract second home owners to a specific area.

Practice is indisensable to ensure the ability to prevent, prepare and plan and, above all, to develop the skills to manage crises within the Agency’s own operations and and in its collaboration with others. However, support for and guidance on the management of social media is currently in very short supply. Consequently, the Execise Section at the MSB has taken the initia- tive to create support for developing and training the use of social media within the field of societal protection and preparedness. In general, the management of a crisis is greatly dependent on how the public perceives the message and information relating to this crisis. Social media have altered the information landscape, which, in the event of a crisis, all actors must relate to and take into account in designing their information and communication strategies. Social media create a faster information flow, which generally occurs in real time, and they are often a powerful and important instrument to be considered in the emergency manage- ment of accidents and crises. Social media can be used to open a dialogue and promote transparency with regard to preventing and learning from accidents and crises.
