Place Attachment and Second Home

Anka MIŠETIĆ

Abstract

The paper analyses the concept of place attachment in the
context of second home. Contemporary society is
characterised by structural changes in the field of work and
leisure, resulting in increasing mobility and travelling. Place
attachment is analysed in comparison with current social
issues such as globalisation, mobility, leisure, tourism, social
sustainable planning. Changes within the process of
territorialisation, especially in the forming of residential
strategies have been emphasized in the paper. The bipolar
model of residential strategies is transformed to multiple
homes. The research was conducted on a sample of
residential home owners on the Croatian Adriatic coast
(N=400). The results show a high degree of attachment to
second home, as well as a high level of identification with
place. Based on this, the results indicate a tendency of
changing the concept from second house to second home.
