The owners of the second homes are merely tenants on the land upon
which their buildings stand. The owner of the majority of the woods in
Sviščaki (Slovenian Forest Service, 2013), and the six forested parcels
where these dwellings are located, is the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica,
with whom the owners entered into long-term leases with a maturity of up
to 99 years (Ferko, 2013). In Sviščaki, no zoning has ever been made that
would allow each building to occupy its own (privately-owned) parcel of
land. Locations of holiday cabins are sequentially numbered in the order
in which they had been built, and parcels were leased in the same order
(Ferko, 2013).
With new tenants or those whose contracts have expired, the mu-
nicipality enters into contracts with a five-year maturity (Municipality of
Ilirska Bistrica, 2019). The municipality charges 128 euros annually for the
lease of a land parcel, regardless of its size (Ferko, 2013). The ownership
structure of the holiday establishments shows that in 2016, there were 13 le-
gal entities registered as tenants, while the rest of the tenants were natural
