“…More recently, Dijst and Vermeulen's (1999) research on Dutch suburban communities concludes that, after controlling for income, households with a large garden are less likely to own a second home. Similarly, two Spanish studies drawing on census data reveal a strong statistical relationship between the probability of owning a second home and the location of the principal primary residence in a dense urban centre (Módenes and López-Colás 2007;Cabrerizo and López-Colás 2007). This view is also supported by research on leisure more broadly, which highlights a relationship between apartment living, most especially the lack of a garden, and more frequent and longer distance travel for outdoor recreational activities (e.g.…”

This article employs the 2006 EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions to examine the characteristics of second-home owners in the Republic of Ireland. Its purpose is to explore the relevance to the Irish case of the three key demand-side drivers of secondhome ownership which are most prominent in this literature. These are: compensation -the view that households purchase second homes in order to compensate for deficiencies in their primary residence; life cycle -which links second-home ownership to retirement or future retirement plans; and affluence -which links second home purchase to wealth, the availability of mortgage credit and investment concerns. It finds that the recent growth in second-home ownership has been driven primarily by affluence and that compensation and lifestyle are less relevant drivers in the Irish case.Résumé: Propriétaires de maisons secondaires en République Irlandaise: echappatoire, investissement ou lieu de retraite? Cet article utilise le Questionnaire 2006 de l'Union Européenne sur les revenus et les conditions de vie pour examiner les propriétaires de maison secondaires en Ireland. Le but est d'explorer la pertinence, dans le cas irlandais, de trois demandes-clé qui poussentà l'achat d'une maison secondaire et que l'on retrouve dans la plupart des publications sur ce sujet. Il s'agit de compensation -c'est-à-dire que les ménages achètent un maison secondaire pour compenses les déficiences de leur résidence principale; le cycle de vie -l'achat est liéà la retraite ouà des projets de retraite; et le niveau de viel'achat dépend de la richesse, de l'accès au crédit hypothécaire et de questions d'investissement. On a ainsi découvert que l'augmentation récente d'achats de maisons secondaires dans le cas irlandais est due essentiellementà la croissance des revenus et que les facteurs de compensation et de stage dans le cycle de vie ont nettement moins d'importance.Mots-clés: Maisons secondaires, propriétaires de maisons secondaires, logements, République irlandaise Zusammenfassung: Besitzer von Zweiteigenheimen in Irland: Flüchten, investieren oder pensioniert? Dieser Artikel verwendet die 2006 EU-Erhebungüber Einkommen und Lebensbedingungen um die Merkmale der Zweitwohneigentumsbesitzer in der Republik Irland zu untersuchen. Sein Zweck ist es, die Relevanz der drei wichtigsten Treiber auf der Nachfrageseite von Zweitwohneigentum, die in dieser Literaturquelle am auffälligsten sind, für Irland zu erforschen. Diese sind: Kompensation -die Ansicht, dass Haushalte Zweitwohnungen erwerben, um Mängel in ihrem Hauptwohnsitz auszugleichen; Lebenszyklus -die Verbindung zwischen Zweitwohneigentum und Ruhestand bzw. Zukunftsplänen für den Ruhestand; und Wohlstand -welcher den Erwerb von Zweitwohneigentum mit Reichtum, der Verfügbarkeit von Hypothekenkrediten und mit Investitionsmöglichkeiten verbindet. Der Artikel stellt fest, dass das jüngste Wachstum an Zweitwohneigentum vor allem durch Wohlstand angetrieben wurde, und dass Kompensation und Lifestyle weniger relevante Treiber im irischen Fall s...

Tourist activity in Spain during the 1960s boosted the development of tourist centres, especially along the Mediterranean seaboard, and at the same time resulted in the construction of a true building barrier along the seafront. Despite the existence of legislation which regulated land use planning and several planning tools, major landscape and environmental impacts occurred, due to the difficulty of managing a territory over which sustainable and systemic planning was almost inexistent. During the last decade, the concerns of land use planning agents about controlling the town growth on the Spanish seaboard has increased. They have responded by creating new regulations and promoting a participative planning that involves the land planning agents and the different administrations. This should allow a comprehensive approach.

This article comments upon the situation of sprawl in Spain and Madrid, especially residential sprawl. It does not appear to be a serious problem due to its low starting point, but artificial surface and residential sprawl is growing rapidly. For that reason, it may be an issue in the future. Between 2000 and 2006, urban residential land use grew 0.4% in Spain and 0.2% in Europe per year, land use of industrial and commercial areas grew 2.3% in Spain and 0.4% in Europe and total artificial surface grew 2.7% in Spain and 0.6% in Europe (EEA, 2010). Further, we will study the legislation on maximum and minimum urban density in Spain. The highest maximum urban density is established by the Basque Country, with 230 dwellings per hectare, and the highest minimum urban density is established by Catalonia, with 50 dwellings per hectare. In both cases, it is applied to only certain types of territories. Finally, we will analyse what happens in the Region of Madrid in relation to sprawl. It has very similar patterns compared with the rest of Spain, although more pronounced.
