“Dacha Studies” as a Science on Second Home in the West and in Russia
https://doi.org/10.15356/0373-2444-2014-4-22-32
Abstract
The article contains, to the author’s knowledge, the first Russian review of research of the second home, especially one that corresponds to the Russian idea of dacha. This review is incomplete, since it only covers Western, primarily European, literature and partly statistics. They are analyzed in comparison with the Russian literature, but the latter is not treated in detail.
Different issues are touched sequentially, albeit very briefly: 1) the phenomenon of dacha and its history; 2) the history of its studies in a number of countries-leaders in this field; 3) the representation of the studies on second real estate (dachas) in some international journals; 4) definitions, assessment or estimation of the phenomenon in several countries; 5) the reasons for a social ‘super-scale’ of Russian dacha phenomenon; 6) an attempt to depict the main types of dacha areas in Europe; 7) conclusion, with a discussion of different approaches to the second home and of its prospects.
The author states that the flow of scientific publications on second home emerged in the 1960s, although the phenomenon is much older. These studies are still lacking broad comparisons, criteria and conceptual base. It makes any definitions and typologies difficult. Russia, being the world champion by the number of dacha estates, lags behind the West in terms of scientific and informational mastering of this interdisciplinary topic. Since the phenomenon is growing, it deserves attention of scientists, especially of geographers.
