Bringing together a wide range of studies from twelve European countries, this book offers a state-of-the-art overview of the driving forces behind spatial diversity and social complexity inherent in second home expansion in all parts of the continent - from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean and from the British Isles to Russia - in the context of contemporary mobility patterns largely induced by tourism.

The need to reaffirm the diversity of places and regions in order to make them economically and culturally "more competitive" on the globalised market of goods and services has been widely accepted in regional and local development policies in Portugal, but much more so rhetorically than in operational terms. This largely reflects the fact that policies, as well as their instruments, do not rely on empirical evidence of the changing character of territorial identity. In particular, there are virtually no records regarding representations of territorial identity features and issues by local/regional development stakeholders, both individual and institutional ones. The problem is that appropriate conceptualisations and analytical tools for comprehensive identification and assessing of various dimensions local/regional identity have been lacking. Since it has not been clear what the identity of places and regions means in factual and verifiable terms to different development stakeholders, it is has not been possible to determine what aspects of the identity need to be strengthened, preserved, diversified, or made "more competitive" in regional and local development policy design and implementation. This paper brings forward a methodological framework for the study of the changing character of local identities and the role of local development stakeholders in this change. The region-specific evidence obtained from a nation-wide field survey of Portuguese local development agents' knowledge, attitudes and practice in relation to the territorial identity as a regional development issue is presented and discussed.

Campus Social : Revista Lusófona de Ciências Sociais ; A necessidade de (re)afirmar a identidade dos lugares e regiões com o objectivo de aumentar a sua competitividade no mercado global de bens, serviços e ideias tem sido geralmente adoptado nas políticas de desenvolvimento regional e local, mais de um modo retórico do que operacional. Faltam, de facto, instrumentos analíticos adequados para a avaliação da identidade territorial no contexto do nexo local-global. Neste artigo é discutido o enquadramento conceptual e metodológico necessário para o estudo das mudanças nas identidades territoriais e é apresentada evidência empírica dos conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas dos agentes de desenvolvimento local em Portugal. ; The concern for the diversity and autonomy of regional and local identity has been increasingly voiced across social sciences over the last decade (Agnew 2000; Haartsen et al. 2000; Massey and Jets 1995; Amin and Thrift 1994; Hadjimikalis 1994; Massey 1991) and has gained a strategic importance in regional development policies and programmes, especially in the peripheral and lagging regions and countries of the European Union. One of major arguments has been that an increased competitiveness of localities and regions on the globalised market of goods, services and ideas, can be decisive for achieving the sustainable "local development engineering" (Cosgrove 1998; Commission européenne 1994).

O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para a discussão sobre a evolução do mercado habitacional em Portugal e o papel da expansão das segundas residências na sua dinamização. O forte crescimento das segundas residências, apesar de poder ser resultado da acumulação (com eventual abandono) de um parque edificado obsoleto, não deixa também de se poder constituir como um desafio para a revitalização do mercado imobiliário, não só do ponto de vista do alargamento da procura, mas também do encontro de novas formas de comercialização do que pode ser designado por "imobiliário turístico residencial". Para além das fontes oficiais de informação estatística, serão também utilizados os resultados do processo de inquirição e entrevista obtidos no âmbito do projeto SEGREX – Expansão das Segundas Residências e Planeamento do Desenvolvimento Territorial em Portugal, financiado pela Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia no período de 2008-2012.

In Portugal, the expansion of second homes has been an important feature of land use and landscape change. The growing omnipresence of second homes and the inherent environmental, economic, cultural and other aspects of land use are frequent discussion topics nowadays among policy- and opinion-makers, but this phenomenon has not yet become part of the national research agenda. In order to fill this gap, a research project entitled "SEGREX - Second Home Expansion and Spatial Development Planning in Portugal" was launched. The first phase of the project's fieldwork consisted of interviewing local authorities in the Oeste – the case-study region. Its aim was to identify localities with presence and/or growth of second homes, to determine the main features of second home expansion and to learn more about its economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts. Some findings are presented and discussed in this paper. ; U Portugalu je rast sekundarnog stanovanja postao važan čimbenik načina iskorištavanja zemljišta i promjene krajolika. Prostorna rasprostranjenost objekata te vrste stanovanja i s time povezani ekološki, ekonomski, kulturni i drugi aspekti iskorištavanja zemljišta česta su tema medijskih i političkih rasprava, ali nedostaju znanstvene obrade tog fenomena. Tu prazninu nastoji popuniti istraživački projekt "SEGREX – Rast sekundarnog stanovanja i planiranje prostornog razvoja u Portugalu". Prva faza terenskog dijela istraživanja bilo je anketiranje ključnih predstavnika lokalnih vlasti u regiji Oeste, u kojoj je sekundarno stanovanje posebno izraženo. Ciljevi anketiranja bili su identificirati lokalitete na kojima već postoji i/ili jako raste fenomen sekundarnog stanovanja, utvrditi glavne značajke tog rasta te spoznati njegove utjecaje na lokalno gospodarstvo, društvo, kulturu i prirodni okoliš. Rad donosi prikaz rezultata tog istraživanja i raspravu o njima.
