“…To explain, the "Touristic rate", the "Tourist density rate" and the "Composite accommodation function rate" are significantly correlated with each other (both Pearson and Spearman correlations are significant for p≤0.01). The "% protected surface" indicator, which is connected to the research question, is significantly correlated with the "Tourism certification rate" and the "Environmental Furthermore, when considering rural or alpine environment tourism, second homes can play an important role both in terms of level of tourist presence and contribution to the sustainable development of the area (Müller 2002;Hoogendoorn and Visser 2004;Gallent 2014;Sonderegger and Bätzing 2015;Miletić et al 2018).…”

Together with the main aim of preserving nature, national parks are also expected to play an important role for the local communities, driving economic activities toward the lens of sustainable development. This contribution aims to present an exploratory study on the relationship between the presence of a protected mountain area, the Gran Paradiso National Park (GPNP), in the North West of the Italian Alps, and the classification of tourism destinations, according to Weaver model of destination management. Starting from the model, the authors provide a quantitative analysis using a set of variables and indicators to comprehensively assess the differing patterns assumed by the municipalities within the borders of the GPNP and those that are not. The provisional results illustrate that the municipalities within the border of a protected area are more likely to be grouped alongside the sustainable mountain destinations. Meanwhile, research outcomes confirm that a protected area does not necessarily contrast the tourism industry but instead may boost local development by driving it within the borders of the sustainable development, switching from the area's only preservation function to a flywheel for the local communities.

“…imply that the density of second homes is positively related to several local socio-economic development indicators and to local economic growth (Mileti c et al, 2018;Alonsop erez et al, 2022). Research in Switzerland about the dynamics of the formation and the evolution of property prices in the Alps destinations revealed that foreign customers and the increase in prices are linked.…”

Purpose This paper develops a theoretical model that analyzes the decision problem the landowner has to face between the construction of second homes and hotels. The starting point implies verifying that for a given tourist destination, the land available for the construction of accommodation is limited. For this reason, when choosing between building second homes or building hotels, many factors influence the decision model. The theoretical mechanism generalizes the model introduced in Brida and Boffa (2010) and is based on a four-stage sequential game with four players. From the results of the model, the authors conclude that it is optimal from the social point of view both to build a hotel and to build a second home because both generate added value during the year. For this reason, the construction of second homes should be taken into account in the planning policy of the tourist destination. This arises from considering that second homes, as they remain occupied all year like hotels, in certain tourist destinations, do not generate seasonality.

“…Reversal in the process of urban concentration and the construction of secondary residences are interpretted as signs of reversal in dominant trends of deconcentration of population in the village-city relation with an accent on living a higherquality life-style especially in the USA and the countries of Western Europe during 70s of the 20th centuryа (Adamiak, Pitkanen and Lehtonen, 2017). The results of reserarches in Croatia undertaken by (Miletić, Žmuk i Mišetić, 2017) show that secondary homes and tourism independently have positive effect on local socio-economic development. They also indicate a fact that it is previously necessary to define biological and ecological capacities of the given area (acceptable scope and structure of receptive capacities) lest spatial degradation might occur caused by unplanned (uncontrolled construction).…”

On sites of former Deliblato Sands' vineyards, the present-day weekend settlements have been built. Devojački bunar is the most frequently visited one among them and it has the longest and the most significant touristic tradition which includes the largest number of weekend homes for resting and recreation (even 1.392, according to the latest registration). Considering the special quality and ecological significance of Deliblato Sands that enable development of numerous selectable forms of tourism (among which is the weekend tourism), it is necessary to reflect about the factors that are the bases of touristic movements: those are attractiveness, accessibility and residing conditions of the site itself. This paper treats the problem of interconnection of unplanned (illegal) construction of weekend homes (meaning dwelling conditions) and development of weekend tourism, together with a given overview of the existing weekend settlements in the territory of five municipalities that have a share in Special Nature Reserve (SNR) "Deliblato Sands". A comparative analysis has been used, based on the data gathered from Republic Statistical Office of Serbia for the registration periods of 1981-2011.
