Typology of Housing Developments and Buildings for Occasional Use

Summary/Abstract: In the text the author gives a typology of housing developments and housing units characterised by temporary residence, and analyses the social and environmental consequences of building practices. The typology is based on the degree of influence that second homes have on the structure of housing developments. In this sense the transformation of the development depends on the share of housing units for occasional use in the overall housing facility. The result of such transformations is evident also in the dynamics of the mutual relationship between the two main parties concerned: the community of the permanent (local) population and temporary population (translocal community). The second part of the paper deals with the morphological distribution of building types and complexes, among housing units for temporary living. If the matter is examined from the point of view of a social-environmental perspective, the consequences in the environment can be defined as "building pollution", in other words as active barbarisation of housing developments and landscapes.
