Abstract
Despite the overall growth of the second home phenomenon in Croatia and worldwide, this phenomenon is still one of the less researched forms of leisure-related ways of mobility. Such unwarranted neglect of the research into the nature of the secondary dwelling and its implications frequently leads to mistakes in physical planning, which result in irredeemable consequences. The purpose of the paper is to propose the outline of the study of the second
home phenomenon in the receiving area and provide guidelines for its future direction in local communities. It encompasses the following stages: the observation of the push and pull factors of the second home receiving area, an outline of the basic characteristics of
the second home facilities, an analysis of second home mobilities, the establishment of the shape of the second home phenomenon concentration in the given geographical location, an analysis of geographical, economic and socio-cultural influences and consequences of the second home phenomenon as a basis for establishing the impact of the phenomenon in the regional development of the receiving area, and an evaluation of the present regulations pertaining to physical planning.
