“…Here, place attachment is strongly associated with the broader landscape, not the material dwelling in isolation (Jaakson 1986;McNicol and Glorioso 2014). With the typical second-home owner being an urbanite, the second-home landscape contrasts the urban; encounters with 'nature' and exposure to the elements become valorized (Pitkänen 2008).…”

“…In Canada, ownership of a 'cottage' or 'cabin' provides privileged access to emblematic natural/wilderness landscapes (typically centred on mountains and/or lakes) and associated recreational activities (such as skiing and fishing) (McNicol and Glorioso 2014). Similarly, in New Zealand, second homes at the coast -often referred to as 'baches' -(re)affirm the central role of the beach in national identity (Kearns and Collins 2006;Peart 2009).…”

Second-home owners often establish deep connections with their dwellings, and the broader landscapes of which these dwellings are part. In this research, we consider whether, and to what extent, visitors to commercial tourist accommodation also experience feelings of place attachment and home. These issues were investigated via a case study approach, centred on a youth hostel located in a high-amenity coastal area of New Zealand. The hostel's publicly available visitor books were analysed to draw out expressions of people-place relationships, as well as key demographic information. Five themes were identified in visitors' written reflections: repeat visits; home experience; identity and feeling; escape; and social landscape. Like the second home, the hostel provided a set of experiences considered very distinct from the typically city-based primary home, centred on a sense of freedom, relaxation and proximity to nature. It was paradoxically regarded as a place to seek change as well as familiarity. We conclude that for first-time visitors home-like experiences appear to be stimulated by social encounters and the physical environment, while for returnees they are underscored by familiarity and endorsement of identity over time.

“…The recent rise in prosperity for many Albertans has also spawned an increase in secondary and recreational homes in rural areas near both summer and winter destinations. While there is a robust literature on locational impact of recreational (second home) ownership in Canada, and Alberta specifically (Bohlin, 1975;Halseth, 1998;McNicol & Glorioso, 2014), there has not been specific or detailed consideration of the impact of these trends on homelessness dynamics. Notable are larger communities that are located in or near national parks such as Banff, Jasper and Canmore.…”

Until recently, there was little acknowledgement that homelessness existed in rural areas in Canada. Limited research and scarce data are available to understand the scope and dynamics of rural homelessness in Canada. As suggested in our previous work, there is a need for rural homelessness research to examine themes from a provincial perspective. The aim of this research was to contribute to expanding the knowledge base on the nature of rural homelessness at a provincial level in the Canadian province of Alberta. In order to understand the dynamics of homelessness in rural Alberta, we conducted interviews with service providers and other key stakeholders across Alberta. We examined homelessness dynamics and responses to rural homelessness in 20 rural communities across the province. Across all of the communities in the study, homelessness was reported however, the magnitude of the issue and its dynamics were distinct depending on the local contexts. We also identified several themes which serve as descriptors of rural homelessness issues. We note a number of recommendations emerging from this data which are aimed at building on the experiences, capacities, and strengths of rural communities.

“…The development of RSHs can create connections between permanent residents and newcomers who visit and use RSHs. This creates an opportunity for permanent residents to expand their knowledge and life skills as well as to gain new experiences from others [44,45]. RSHs also impact their surrounding area in different ways.…”

Rural Second Homes and Their Impacts on Rural Development: A Case Study in East Iran

et al. 2017

Previously, rural tourism has developed due to population growth, urbanization, development of transportation, and communication routes. In this context, rural second homes (RSHs) are considered as one of the main instruments of permanent and temporary residency tourism. This study intended to evaluate the impacts that "rural second homes" have on rural development in the Khorashad village in the South Khorasan province of Iran. Data were collected through a questionnaire. Using a random sampling method, 146 permanent rural residents were selected. Results showed that in the view of the respondents, the most important positive and negative impacts of RSHs were, respectively, the physical-environment and socio-cultural aspects of the area. Furthermore, a significant correlation was found between job type, gender, and purchase/construction year of the RSHs and people's perceptions toward the impacts of RSHs. The study concluded that the most important strategies to reduce negative impacts and increase positive impacts of the RSHs are to, respectively, improve public policies and design geographical distribution patterns in order to develop RSHs.
