Multi-locality has become increasingly common over the past decade in many countries, and it has increased the temporal population, especially in rural areas. Despite the growing popularity of this lifestyle, an overall picture of the effects of mobility is missing. A lack of official data is one of the main reasons why little attention has been paid to this phenomenon in rural areas. The results of this study illustrate the need to ensure that the burden caused by this lifestyle, especially for telecommunications connections, is better considered in planning. Special attention is needed because this lifestyle is directed towards rural municipalities, which are vulnerable to the increase in population and the resulting spatial injustice.
