Second homes on islands: The effects of seasonality on the availability of amenities
Island living implies many specificities due to the isolation and diverse functions associated with islands throughout history. Contemporary island living is frequently connected to the development of different kinds of tourism praxis that are usually seasonal. Somewhere in the realm between tourism and everyday life there is a population of second home users who experience higher levels of place attachment than regular tourists and visit islands more often during the year. To a certain extent, settlements with higher proportions of temporary residents, so called weekend people, call into question the concept of seasonality commonly associated with island lifestyle. Second home users choose specific locations based on natural, cultural and service amenities that can deliver the best possible balance between leisure and sense of community. In this paper, the authors explore several dualities (e.g. permanent/temporary residents, summer/winter lifestyle) through an analysis of the seasonal availability of amenities, which can be defined as the qualities of a settlement that make it a desirable place to live and work. The authors focus on cultural and service amenities, which complement environmental and natural amenities, all of which are part of the usual framework for the development of vacation settlements. In the case study of small settlements on the island of Čiovo, Croatia, the authors investigate how seasonality affects the satisfaction of permanent and temporary residents with the availability of cultural, lifestyle and service amenities. The results indicate that there are significant differences depending on seasonal flows, especially when it comes to cultural amenities.
