Abstract
Recreational and second housing retain a long-term tradition in Czech countryside. Beside traditional forms of second housing (cabins and cottages) so called new trends of second housing have appeared since 1990s.
The most popular are purchasing own recreational apartments in apartment houses both by Czech and foreign citizens or a real estate in recreational villages mainly by international clientele. These often spacious projects in rural areas bring also a range of negative influences along with few benefits.
Nowadays principal challenge is to draw from former experience and implement provisions to protect social and natural environment against negative impacts which might be caused by construction and use of recreational objects.
