Summary/Abstract: In the paper the author analyses the attitude towards "second homes" in urbanisation models in Croatia in the period from 1945 to 1990. The period mentioned is mostly characterised by the model of socialist urbanisation, and a number of spatial processes after 1990 kept their continuity. The time preceding 1990 was analysed in three stages, and today its features define the contemporary situation even more strongly than processes dating from the period after 1990. These are in the first place: the perception of the "indestructibility" of territorial, environmental and ambiental values; building practices independent of / in accordance with spatial-planning documents; structural connection between building and the deterioration of developmental capabilities of local communities; the "second home" as a generalised form of resistance to the roughness of industrialisation/urbanisation, and the role of "second home" as a specific form of tourist industry entrepreneurship.
