Second home in Třeboň area as the first stage for amenity migration

The diploma thesis deals with two contemporary phenomena, second home and amenity migration. These phenomena often overlap in the conditions of the Czech Republic, so it is difficult to find a clear border between them. Second home can be understood as a complex of phenomena and processes related to a real estate, which serves as a temporary residency for its owner or user, who uses this real estate especially for recreation purposes. Amenity migration can be defined as a migration of inhabitants with the aim to achieve a better quality of life, better health, relaxation or potentially entertainment as well. It concerns migration of people for non-economic reasons and the direction of amenity migration is predominantly from cities to the countryside. Unlike second home, it is not any form of a temporary residency, but a permanent accommodation. The main goal of the diploma thesis was to explore the phenomenon of second home in the region of Třeboňsko and to evaluate its potential for amenity migration. The goal of the work was realised on the basis of an analysis of the data of the Czech Statistical Office and the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre, by means of both field research and a questionnaire survey with the subsequent evaluation
