Abstract

The development of second homes that are occupied only seasonally or for periods of leisure is not an unusual phenomenon in countries with a socialistic form of government. In 1981 there were 332,800 second homes in Yugoslavia and they represent an important component of the cultural landscape, especially in the Slovenian Alps where the income of inhabitants is five times higher than the national average. Many of these new homes are in the traditional resort areas but holiday homes are also expanding into what were formerly small agricultural villages. This paper outlines some significant results of a statistical study of the distribution of second homes and discusses changes brought about during the last twenty years.
