Abstract
ABSTRACT This research aims to discover and analyze the perceived conflicts by the villagers regarding the expansion of the second-homes. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology has been adopted to investigate the subject. Accordingly, the rural tourist destination of the Binalood region in northeastern IRAN are selected as the sample. Then, based on the qualitative analysis conducted by the grounded theory, the perceived conflict caused by the expansion of second-homes is identified. Findings indicated seven key perceived conflicts by the local community about the expansion of second-homes including economic conflicts, structural conflicts, mass, and unplanned tourism, civil protests, social conflicts, environmental conflicts, and physical conflicts. Therefore, to augment solidarity between the indigenous community and second-homeowners, it is essential to address these conflicts.
