Abstract

Second home tourism studies have found that there are environmental concerns which arise through the development and continued use of a second home. The majority of these studies, however, have been conducted in the Global North, and no research of this kind has yet been conducted in South Africa. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the environmental implications of second home tourism in Hartbeespoort, South Africa, with special reference to the perceptions second home owners hold with regards to their impacts on the environment. The perception held by majority of second home owner respondents is that neither they, nor their households, impact upon the environment. This perception brings the environmental sustainability of second home tourism in South Africa into question.

Fußnoten
1
Local rates-based address listings have proven to be the most successful method for identifying second home owners (Hoogendoorn and Visser 2011a).
 
2
It must be noted that Müller’s thoughts are very much connected to the situation in Scandinavia.
 
3
“Recreational place utility is conceived of as the sum of a set of characteristics which the individual considers constitutes an attractive environment for this type of recreational living” (Aldskogius 1967, p.72).
 
4
This initiative focuses on building a tourist travel route that joins many different attractions; it is then marketed as the ideal route to take to your destination, in this case the Magaliesberg (Rogerson 2007).
 
5
Marjavaara (2007), in his study of second home development in Sweden, found that water bodies, such as rivers, lakes and oceans, are major attractions for second home development. In terms of recreational place utility, the water bodies tend to provide tourists with numerous potential leisure activities such as fishing, boating and swimming.
 
6
As mentioned in the literature review, Keyser (2002) states that because of fast-paced development, municipalities often lack adequate sewerage facilities to cope with the increased demand that often results in the discharge of untreated sewerage into water systems.
