development of tourism and second homes in the area of sviščaki ...
cess to their houses and the outside of the houses according to their needs
(parking places, constructed terraces, woodsheds, etc.).
The number of the holiday houses has quickly risen over the decades
and, due to inadequate spatial plans, buildings were built without a system-
atic distribution throughout the area and without architectural uniformity,
which has resulted in inefficient use of space; the edges of the settlement are
also vaguely defined. Nonetheless, the location of the holiday houses in the
forest somewhat mitigates its generally bad image, which is not suitable in
terms of urban and architectural planning.
According to data from the Real Estate Registry, the first holiday house
was built in 1958 (Fig. 5). In the 1960s, 13 new dwellings appeared on the edg-
es of the clearing beside the mountain hut, and the same number of dwell-
ings was also constructed in the following decade. The average floor area
of these buildings ranged between 46.6 and 46.8 m2. In the 1980s, the con-
struction of holiday dwellings spread and flourished; as many as 37 new
