lokationer

Lokationer is the plural form of lokation and refers to places, sites, or positions. In Swedish and Danish, lokationer is commonly used to denote geographical or otherwise defined places such as business premises, event venues, or shooting sites. The term is often used interchangeably with more specific words like plats or lokalitet, depending on context.

Applications vary by field. In real estate and hospitality, lokationer describes multiple venues or branches of a company. In film and journalism, a lokation is a site used for shooting or reporting. In science and medicine, lokation may describe the position of a gene on a chromosome (genlokation) or other fixed positions in a genome or map. In information technology and location-based services, compounds such as geolokation or lokationsbaserede tjenester appear, emphasizing geographical positioning.

Origin and usage notes. The word derives from the Latin locus via French and English, and has been adopted into the Nordic languages. It coexists with native synonyms like plats and lokalisation. In practice, lokationer is most common in technical or formal contexts, while more everyday language often uses plats or address for simple references. See also location, locus, site. A potential ambiguity can arise without context, so more precise terms should be used when clarity is required.
