Socio-Spatial Patterns of the Contemporary Second Home Phenomenon in Croatia
Second home use as a specific dwelling practice has a long history in Croatia. The number of second homes has been continuously growing in Croatia for more than 50 years, regardless of the long-term economic crises and regressive socio-historical processes. In this article, based on empirical data collected by a survey and the most recent national Census, we explore the basic features of the second home phenomenon focusing on characteristics of second home users, patterns of second home location and frequency of use. The obtained data shows that Croatian households that own a second home represent a heterogeneous group and that this phenomenon is not associated exclusively with affluent and/or retired households. Furthermore, second homes are more often located in a certain type of settlement – peripheral, rural and small settlements are more desirable locations and more than half of the respondents use their second homes at least on a monthly basis.
