The impact of residential status, becoming a landlord, owner-occupier or tenant, is mostly discussed in the literature in terms of their relationships with each other and the organisation of their daily life in terms of its similarities and differences. However, there has been little research to analyse the above aspects in terms of the role of short-term stayers as second homeowners. How does the relationship to the second homeowners vary with resident status? This project sheds new light on the neglected issue of short-term rentals in the creation of place and belonging in a specific area, as related to residential status. In addition, while tenure status become less visible, when comparing this research with the existing work in the literature, location, personal interests, preferences, age and generational differences influence the different tenure groups’ preferences. This paper considers Ocean Village in Southampton as a case study. This redevelopment waterfront area comprises businesses, residential and leisure facilities at the same time and it has been ongoing since the 1980s. This research is based on both quantitative and qualitative data. The findings illustrate that short-term stayers have a significant impact on the creation of different tenure groups’ place and belonging.

KARIŞIK MAHALLELER İÇİN İKİNCİ EV SAHİPLERİNİN ETKİLERİ

Mevcut literatürde ev sahibi olup evinde yaşayan, evini kiraya veren ve kiracıların birbirleriyle olan ilişkileri ve bu grupların benzerlik ve farklılıkları açısından günlük yaşamlarının organizasyonu geniş bir şekilde tartışılmaktadır. Ancak, aynı bölgede ikinci ev sahibi olarak kısa süre kalan kişilerin oynadığı rol açısından yukarıdaki hususları analiz etmek için çok az araştırma yapılmıştır. İkinci ev sahipleri ile oluşturulan ilişkiler diğer konut sahibi ve kiracılar acısından nasıldır? Bu proje, konut sahipliği statüsünden hareketle, kısa süreliğine bir yerde yaşama üzerinden mekân ve aidiyet oluşturma sürecine ışık tutuyor. Buna ek olarak, bir yerde yaşama süresi daha az önemli hale geliyor. Ayrıca bu araştırmayı literatürdeki mevcut çalışmalarla karşılaştırınca, yer, konum kişisel ilgi alanları, tercihler, yaş ve nesil farklılıkları yukarıda bahsettiğimiz farklı grupların tercihlerini etkilemektedir. Bu projede, Southampton'daki Ocean Village bölgesini örneklem seçerek araştırma sorusu cevaplanmıştır. Gelişmekte olan ve 1980’lerden beri bir dönüşüm halinde olan bu bölgede ofis, konut ve eğlence tesisleri bir arada mevcuttur. Bu araştırma, nitel ve nicel verilere dayanmaktadır. Bulgular, kısa süreliğine bu bölgede konaklayanların diğer gruplarla geliştirdikleri ilişkilerin sadece ev sahibi olup olmama ve aynı bölgede aynı oranda zaman harcayıp harcamama üzerinden değil onların ilgileri ve kullandıkları yeni iletişim araçları (internet, sosyal medya) da etkili olmuştur.
