Geran- Marko MILETIĆ

Sažetak
The paper analyses major motivations for purchasing second
homes on the Croatian coast, based on a sample of second
home owners. According to literature, some reasons for
purchasing second homes are emphasized. The most
important motive is to provide place for both relaxation and
escape from the pressures of everyday urban life. Besides,
there are economic motives and also motivation for reconnecting with the place of one's roots. Second home
owners are divided into three groups: (1) owners who built a
house, (2) owners who bought a house and (3) owners who
inherited a family house. The paper analysed the first and
second groups, because they represent a specific process of
decision-making which is different from the one involved in
the third group. The results confirmed the major tendencies
of this phenomenon in Croatia as part of a broader process
of forming new lifestyles in contemporary society.
