abstract in English:	Holiday making in second homes is at present one of major trends in the development of individual recreation in Poland. Since the late 1990s, high dynamics in the development of secondary residences in attractive tourist areas has been recorded. Owners of secondary residences in the Polish Carpathians are chiefly residents of big cities situated in the Carpathian foothills. The development of second homes is currently one of the most important urbanisation factors in Poland, which in the mountain areas of the Carpathians, causes conflicts stemming from environmental, spatial and functional issues.
