In recent years we have seen a quiet but dramatic change in Norwegian nature. The cabin fields spread over the mountains and coast, and with today’s demands for comfort, follow the road, water and electricity as the necessary infrastructure. It’s called recreation. It’s about fun. But for many of us, it means that the hiking trail has become a private driveway, the swimming area fenced in, and the forest hole where we could go on a trip with quick lunch and thermos, has suddenly turned into someone else’s terrace. This is not just an aesthetic or nostalgic complaint. It is a real loss of common goods. The content of public law is weakened, bit by bit. And it happens in the name of nice. From fellowship to exclusivity Geography professor David Harvey called it “Accumulation by Dispossession”. Resources that were previously common are gradually privatized to yield returns. In Norway, this gets a softer shape: Cozy looting. We do not see predatory in the classic sense, but a well -meaning cabin project here, a new road there, and one day there is no room left for everyone. Where the cabins come, new boundaries, parking ban, camera surveillance and “private property” signs follow. Not of painful will, but because the coat requires it: tranquility, views and exclusivity. And it is precisely the exclusivity that is in contrast to the public right. Cabin growth As a natural loss Since 2014, over 5,000 holiday homes have been built on average annually. Many of these have been erected in previously untouched nature. Municipalities compete to attract cabin investors, and site prices have been rated by the housing market. In the process, marshes, forests and silence disappear. Wildlife pulls away, and with the whole experience of nature as something free and open. Nature is not just the backdrop for the cabin – it is the infrastructure itself that makes cabin life attractive. Ironically, it is this infrastructure that weatheres when the cuddle is prevailed. The public law is undermined public law is a pillar of Norwegian culture, but it is challenged by increasing privatization of nature. We see a well -meaning cabin project here, a new road there, and one day there is no room left for everyone, writes Carmen Mapis. Photo: Private When cabin fields grow, access to areas that were previously open to everyone is often reduced. Signs with “private property” and physical barriers make many feel unwelcome in nature they previously used freely. This development raises an important question: Do we really need a new cabin to enjoy nature? The answer should be no. Instead, we should be better at sharing what we already have. More people can use existing cabins through rental, sharing solutions or cooperative models. There are many places where vacant holiday homes are empty for much of the year. A system that promotes sharing instead of new construction would have saved both nature, climate and community. There may be room for some more cabins in Norway – but only within nature’s tolerance limits, and only where development does not destroy untouched nature, biodiversity or important outdoor areas. Everything else is a form of looting, camouflaged as a cuddle. This is not about how much space we have left, but how much nature we can afford to lose. So the question is not how many cabins Norway can withstand, but who we build the country for. A new story We need a new story about cosiness. One who is not about individual secrecy, but about shared access and joint experiences. This means that we must stop pretending to be without consequences. Nature is not a luxury we can distribute by market logic. It is the foundation of community, outdoor life and future. Let’s say it as it is: There is a national coziness. It must be stopped before the mountain is full, the fjord is fenced in, and the cuddle has become a privatized luxury for the few. Send us your utterance desire to write?
