Abstract

ABSTRACT The vacation home market is emerging as a major force in shaping urban and regional development a result of the seasonal redistribution of the population. Existing urban and regional theory has accounted for the distribution of population only in accordance with the permanent place of residence without considering how this distribution varies on a seasonal or semi-permanent basis. It is estimated that some three-quarters of a million vacation homes currently exist in the more rural areas of Northeastern United States. The seasonal occupancy of these units has important implications for fluctuations in economic base, requirement of community services and facilities, and other factors relating to regional development.
