Abstract
The purpose of this study is to obtain suggestions on the ownership and the use of holiday homes in Sweden, where the culture of holiday homes is well developed, as a case study. The surveys were conducted for Swedes with questionnaires and interviews. From the analysis, most of the respondents spend time at their holiday homes doing physical activities that take advantage of the surrounding environment. The utilization of holiday homes is becoming more diverse with the enhancement of housing facilities. akaOwnership of holiday homes is often the result of inheritance from parents or relatives, while in recent years they are sometimes acquired on the assumption that they will be converted to permanent residences in the future.
