ABSTRACT The proliferation of Airbnb listings has been studied in major tourist cities, but much less is known about the phenomenon in Nordic cities. In this paper we have examined the situation in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, which has been largely unexplored in the research literature. Using our situated knowledge as an entry point, this study is based on geostatistical analysis, qualitative analysis of Airbnb listings, thematic conversations with experts and analysis of public discourses through media, to illustrate how Airbnb listings are distributed within the city and what perceptions and responses this phenomenon is generating. In the study, we challenge the public narrative that portrays short-term renting of homes in Helsinki as a form of sharing economy, as opposed to more destructive developments in major European tourist cities.

北欧共享住房乌托邦：对赫尔辛基Airbnb的批判性分析

摘要已经在主要旅游城市研究了Airbnb房源的激增，但对北欧城市的现象知之甚少。在本文中，我们研究了芬兰首都赫尔辛基的情况，该情况在研究文献中尚未得到充分探讨。本研究以我们的常识为切入点，基于地统计分析，对Airbnb列表的定性分析，与专家的主题对话以及通过媒体对公共话语的分析，以说明Airbnb列表如何在城市中分布以及如何理解和回应这种现象正在产生。在这项研究中，我们挑战了公共叙述，该叙述将赫尔辛基的短期房屋租赁描绘成一种共享经济形式，而不是欧洲主要旅游城市更具破坏性的发展。
