Abstract

Cross-boundary interactions between second-home owners and local are complex over time–networks form and evolve within second-home owners and between owners and locals, each with its deliberately selective inclusion and exclusion. However, little attention has been paid to this phenomenon in the literature. This study, based on social network analysis alongside qualitative interviews, explores the dynamics of interactions between second-home owners and locals by analysing the networks formed by second-home owners in Qinglinkou, China. The ways in which second-home owners maintain and strengthen pre-existing networks with other owners and forge new links with locals, shape the cross-boundary interactions between the two groups. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of cross-boundary interactions that are interwoven into the networks that second-home owners establish and maintain over time, and offers additional insights into the fragility of integration and high risk of segregation between the two groups in second-home destinations.
