Responses from Swedish municipalities to questionnaire regarding potential surveys of uninhabited domestic buildings.

This data was gathered in the spring of 2023, within a PhD research project aiming to gather new information about uninhabited domestic buildings in Sweden, study how they are renovated and heated by new owners, and discuss possible ways to stimulate future utilization in sustainable, energy-efficient and culturally attentive ways. The first part of the project, for which the present data was collected, focused on gathering information about the building stock. This included establishing a national overview of initiatives to survey uninhabited domestic buildings, as this gives an indication of how the issue is perceived and distributed across the country. <br><br>A short questionnaire was developed and distributed via email to 272 Swedish municipalities in March of 2023. The questionnaire asked whether uninhabited domestic buildings were or had been surveyed in the municipality; strategies used to gather information if so, and obtained results. <br><br>All municipal email correspondence in Sweden become public documents, wherefore it was not necessary to seek individual approval. Nevertheless, all names have been removed. The emails are in Swedish.It should be noted that municipal efforts to survey uninhabited domestic buildings in Sweden is an ongoing process. Projects are continuously both started and halted, wherefore this data should mainly be seen as representative of the situation in early 2023.
